CYPHER for solo vibraphone is a mathematical and musical sequel to another piece of mine for percussion, Signals Intelligence, that Caleb Herron has helped to champion over the years. I re-examined the mathematical sequences I used to make that work back in 2002, and found a new approach that yielded sequences that held both mathematical and musical interest. These led to a research paper co-authored with mathematician Jean-Paul Allouche and published in the Journal of Mathematics and the Arts, and two new musical works so far, Science Fictions for two pianos, and CYPHER. CYPHER is dedicated to Caleb with great admiration and appreciation.
