Program Notes in English:

Cypher Variations for chamber orchestra is a short two-minute conceptional work written for Scott Kildall and Nathaniel Stern's Wikipedia Art remixed project, which will be exhibited at the Venice Biennale in the Padiglione Internet (the Internet Pavilion)as the Wikipedia Art Embassy in 2009. The piece is based around two cells, one of which spells "Wikipedia", presented in the winds/brass/harp/celesta/percussion which has a block-like, rather mandarin quality. The other cell spells out "Art" in the strings, and has a more active character. The two motives almost fit together, but the juxtaposition of B natural/B flat creates an inherent tension which causes them to repel, in the same way that Wikipedia Art was repelled from Wikipedia. The tympani part beginning around 1:00 is the musical illustration of a prominent Wikipedia editor who stated that he danced on the skulls of his opponents.

The work may be heard here.
