hi andy, the samples sound very complex already, how did you create them? I had more the impression of explosions, though, than thunder. regarding books, do you know if any of these books are available as pdfs at all? otherwise do you want paper copies??? at least the second article is available online at http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=898&page=46 marius.

If anyone has a copy of these papers I would be very grateful. I can't afford to pay the gatekeepers of knowledge.

I am working with Ribner and Roy and Angelo Farinas papers right now, kindly given to me by another researcher.
