Cosmos, Chaos, Curiosity: Moving Right Along!

Hello all,

Thank you so much to those of you who have contributed and/or spread the word about my book campaign.

I am very happy and honored to announce that Dr. Edward Belbruno will write the forward to my book. We have many profound things in common, such as our love for outer spaceand chaos theory, and we are both artists and authors. The difference between us is that he is very well established and renowned in all four of these areas.

Ed has a brand new full length documentary film all about him, which is an official selection of the 2015 Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema! http://www.paintingthewaytothemoon.com

If you are not familiar with Dr. Belbruno, here are some websites:

Dr. Belbruno the chaos mathematician and celestial wizard, saving fuel in outer space: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Belbruno / http://edbelbruno.com

Dr. Belbruno the author: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8375.html

Neil deGrasse Tyson wrote the forward to one of Ed's books. That means I am only one degree away from having a forward by Neil deGrasse Tyson! ;-)

And now a word from Ed:

"I am excited about writing the Foreword for Elaine's book. She brings her unique background as an innovative musical artist, and love of space, to the field of chaos which I can relate to, where I relate to space chaos through the art of painting. Elaine's book touches on many cool topics that are not normally considered, in a totally unique way with her engaging style." Ed

Wishing you all the very best this Holiday Season!

Elaine Walker was raised by two loving mathematics professors, and has a deep appreciation for math, but was born a musician. She received her Masters Degree in Music Technology from New York University in 2001. Her thesis was on using chaos mathematics to compose and perform music. She built a hardware MIDI device to play "chaos melodies", allowing the performer control over the mathematics, tempo, and dynamics. For several years that followed, she was one of two music editors for the cartoon, Pokemon. Since 1991 she has composed and performed music for her electronic music band, ZIA. She builds custom MIDI keyboards and has taught audio and MIDI technology at the college level since 2007. Since the mid 1990s, Elaine has volunteered for the pro-space community (now known as "new space"), promoting the idea of humans living in space. For five Summers, Elaine traveled to the Canadian High Arctic as the Education and Public Outreach Coordinator for the Haughton-Mars Project.
