as the track relates to my album the Code.
There is a description of my album in my advanced profile

Finbar O'Hanlon a British born, Australian raised digital media technologist, entrepreneur, musician, and futurist.
As a musician, and Producer his Soundcloud will be a place to showcase the diversity of his music and a place to get an understanding of how he sees music.
The tracks posted here will include tracks of his upcoming album "The Code" in which Finbar will reveal some of the unique approaches he has to music.

An excerpt of a recent interview explains the CODE

"An explanation about my new album the code.

The code is a collection of music that describes how my brain sees music
Music is a very visual thing to me and unlike technical music that is driven by technical prowess, my music at its core a bunch of sonic textures that to me sounds good.
The challenge in my music is making a sonically complex thing sound simple and easy to digest.
The underpinnings and explanations of the songs as I picture them are a collective of motifs, elements that I have never seen applied to music. 
Elements that whilst being there do not distract from the core composition.

As just stated music is aimed at being accessible sonic art. Musical journeys that evoke the listener
I focus on delivering via music multiple level communication through a single
piece of music. Like when you watch a movie and pick up new things each time you see it. 
I hope my music invokes questioning, and reveals things that lie within the piece that people hear differently

I guess my music is weird, in that the building blocks are typically not from musical theory, my instrumental guitar stuff covers genres from Jazz, Djent, Metal to
Dubstep, Ambient and orchestral epic film like music.
My music is very hard to classify it is a collection of ideas and events that synchronize musically. 
MY music follows the principles of writing for an orchestra whereby drums do not define the beat, drums are an instrument and tension, release and dynamics are the drivers for the pieces.



My music is an inward journey to find the secrets that make me tick.
If you break my music down its got a lot of complexity but does not sound like it to the average user, this is on purpose.
The da vinci code of music in a way. there are hidden messages everywhere.messages that will be explained in the booklet when the release is launched.


My music contains a lot of polyryhthms, weird tunings, changing time signatures, key centres
it steals compositional styles from a myriad of areas, movements where the release is the compounding
of time and the tension is the coming together of the instruments and note and synchronization points.

Each song has hidden (easter eggs) for example, pieces of eight where the
words pieces of eight are transcribed to morse code then the morse code
becomes the rhythm guitar part in the breakdown. so the guitar becomes the vocal via its rhythm. 
The song baggage where my seven string guitar is open tuned to the letters B.A.G.G.A.G.E and where every chord played is not 
looked at as a chord it is looked at as a word e.g. the word FACED, this word described in musical terms could be looked at as a FMaj13


I am working on a track where 2 poems are written one a love poem one a hate poem
The concept is to represent multi level communication where someone says one thing to your face "I love you" but at the same time who's energy is focused on totally the opposite "I really hate you" 
The bad poem goes through a process I have made up using technology that takes the amplitude and frequency analysis of the spoken hate poem and gates the underlying synth pads to represent the 
2 messages colliding with each other.

This is a sonic artistic expression of the multiple hidden messages that fly past emotionally or technologically everyday without us seeing or hearing them

I am even doing skrillex dubstep style stuff in one track where all
the glitches and samples are guitar sounds are stretched , resampled, and elasticised.
A place where the mind seems altered in one track whilst the other tracks remain untouched.
This is a world where the outcasts mingle with the normal people.
What is normal, why are people medicated, what is right and wrong. Who makes up the rules.
Using an time synchronized LFO of a phaser envelope to effect the time stretching
elasticity of the resampled guitar parts which moves with the moving time signatures and tempos of the track
states this point clearly"

This will give you an idea of what is to come!!!
