Cipher's third album Elemental Forces finds the core duo of Theo Travis and Dave Sturt working alongside versatile percussionist/gong maker Steve Hubback. Augmenting the band's trademark fusion of ingeniously looped compositional structures and highly melodic improvisations with a more pronounced Eastern meditative influence, Elemental Forces is an exquisite and accessible blend of accident and intention, intensity and beauty.

The Work "Elemental Forces" is a new multi-media project which fuses new and emerging technologies in music and visuals with instrumental performance. Commissioned by Arts Council East Midlands, this ambitious undertaking has its premiere on 29 October 2006 at the Broadway Cinema, Nottingham.

Made with financial assistance from the Arts Council England, East Midlands.

Jewel case with transparent tray and 6-page fold-out booklet.
