thanks a lot for the pointers. i'll try and see what the local university has archived. meanwhile, some googling for relevant works brought up this paper: http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/393243.html which is quite interesting regarding what we're aiming at. it points to this work: Arfib, D. "Digital Synthesis of Complex Spectra by means of Multiplication on Non-linear Distorted Sine Waves" ICMC'78 Proceedings tim
