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!!!

Great gigs come from people you know. Once a day, Brief suggests 3 ways to engage and expand your network. Stay top of mind and realize opportunities.

On our SoundCloud channel, you'll find interviews with freelancers across many disciplines, discussing what makes them tick and what causes problems.

I am everything && I am nothing all at once.
I'M NOT PERFECT. I'll annoy you, tick you off, say stupid things and then take them back.
I laugh more than I breath. :DDD
am INDEPENDENT, BOSSY, LOUD FUNNY, FREAKY, take it or leave it, I ain't changing.
I believe that laughing is the best calorie-burner.
I believe in kissing; kissing a lot. (:
I also do believe that happy girls is the prettiest girls. *wink*
Sometimes I pretend to be normal but it gets boring. So I go back to being ME.
I know my haters already know they can't get on my level. they gon need a spaceshuttle or a ladder. But that's forever! :DDD
and don't try to compare me hunny. cuz as you see there ain't nobody near me. get it? BETTER!
I never let the actions of other make or break me. And I never let a single person shake me because honestly? I don't give a FCK who hates me.
So for everyone who doesn't like me, it goes mind over matter. I DON'T MIND, && YOU DON'T MATTER!
Baby I'm just me. easy as ABC-123

Audiophiles, crate diggers, and people who don't think that just playing it safe is the way to go can send me wine and trinkets at this profile page. Sharing music most would consider "outside of the box" with like minded people should not only be the opiate of the masses, but is one of the most exquisite pleasures on earth. Refusing to talk about oneself in the 3rd person is also admirable, profiles aren't important, sound scapes are. No garden gnomes allowed and feel;free to enjoy some things that my grandma might surely find offensive. Nothing is in order although i suppose the last set i did on here was Little Green Men From Uranus. I've been on hiatus, but hiatus over.:)

PYTRA OYSTER

Una noche, Noelia soñó que era manager de un grupo de rock formado por mujeres. Oía las canciones, organizaba conciertos y abría una caja llena de álbumes. Sobre ellos, el nombre de la banda: Pytra Oyster. Se despertó y pensó que era un buen nombre y que si algún día tenía un grupo, lo llamaría así. Significa algo y nada a la vez, parece un nombre y un apellido pero no lo es... Lo escribió en un papel para no olvidarlo y volvió a dormir.

Unos años después, seguro que más de cinco y menos de diez, Noelia fue a un concierto del grupo de su hermana. Nico era el técnico de sonido y Noelia se quedó embelesada con la concentración y el amor con que trabajaba, con las largas barbas que se gastaba. Empezaron a hablar y se enamoró de lo que vio tras aquellas barbas. Nico se enamoró de lo que intuyó tras las gafas de Noelia.

Y en algún momento, empezaron a hablar de música. De Sonic Youth, de Enrique Morente, Kyuss, Tortoise, Queens of the Stone Age, Jeff Buckley, Patti Smith, Radiohead, Low, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Mark Lanegan, Nick Drake, Bill Callahan, John Coltrane, Viaje a 800, Wilco, Miles Davis, Betunizer, Cuzo, Betty Davis, Elliott Smith, Cowboy Junkies, Matt Elliott, TOOL, AC/DC, Los enemigos, 713avo amor, Bob Dylan, Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, Sunn O, Lisabö, Sex Pistols, Erik Satie, Nina Simone, The Velvet Underground, Neil Young…

Además de hablar, a los pocos días de conocerse empezaron a hacer ruido juntos, y decidieron que la química era buena, así que, Noelia le contó a Nico aquél sueño de hacía años, y Pytra Oyster se materializó. Los ruidos comenzaron a ser canciones o se convirtieron en nuevos ruidos.

Nico tocaba de vez en cuando con su amigo Roy, que conoció a Noe en una cena en casa de otro amigo. Roy tocaba también la guitarra con otros grupos y hacía temas para su mundo en solitario: Royness, que eran como él mismo, introvertidos a veces, atrevidos otras, siempre imaginativos.

Nico era además el técnico de sonido de Jaleo Real, un grupo de rumba de combate, cuyo cantante, Sito, era también batería, niño payaso y loro parlanchín. Más de un año después de que Pytra Oyster existiera como dúo, Sito empezó a tocar la batería con ellos. Mientras tanto, Roy había empezado a tocar también el bajo en un grupo de swing, Mala Junta Trío, y se unió a ellos también con su bajo, su voz y algunas de sus canciones.

Esa es Pytra Oyster ahora mismo, de momento y, ojalá, por muchos años.

Nico, Noe, Sito y Roy son Pytra Oyster.  Llevan dos años juntos haciendo una suerte de rock con toques de lo que les sale sin pensar mucho. Les gustan las guitarras con ruiditos, los bajos y las baterías contundentes y sincopadas. A veces cantan, a veces no. Cuando no cantan, les gustaría sugerir espacios imaginarios, no muy evidentes, cambiantes, que se formen en la cabeza del que los oye y que mantengan la incertidumbre de la ruta, que no se sepa muy bien dónde van a aterrizar. Hay toques de melancolía y de oscuridad, pero también hay ritmo y caos. Cuando cantan, les gusta hablar de otros modos de ver. Sueñan con un mundo que sepa trascender la realidad limitada en que nos manejamos y que sugiera que no hay formas definitivas, que no hay una manera única de ser hombre, mujer, músico. La clave de todo, el amor. El amor por la música, el amor como expresión perfecta de la comunicación.

PYTRA OYSTER

One night, Noelia had a dream in which she was the manager of an all-women rock band. She heard the songs, organized concerts and opened a box filled with albums. On them, the band's name: Pytra Oyster. Noelia woke up and thought it was a good name and that if she ever had a band, that would be the name for it. It means something and nothing at the same time, it seems somebody’s first and last name but it isn’t… She wrote it up on a piece of paper not to forget it and went back to sleep.

A few years later, surely more than five but less than ten, Noelia went to a concert of her sister’s band. Nico was the sound engineer and Noelia was spellbound by the concentration and love he showed when doing his job, by the long beard he sported. They started to talk and she fell in love with what she saw behind that beard. Nico fell in love with what he sensed behind Noelia's glasses.

At some point, they started to talk about music. About Sonic Youth, about Enrique Morente, Kyuss, Tortoise, Queens of the Stone Age, Jeff Buckley, Patti Smith, Radiohead, Low, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Mark Lanegan, Nick Drake, Bill Callahan, John Coltrane, Viaje a 800, Wilco, Miles Davis, Betunizer, Cuzo, Betty Davis, Elliott Smith, Cowboy Junkies, Matt Elliott, TOOL, AC/DC, Los enemigos, 713avo amor, Bob Dylan, Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, Sunn O, Lisabö, Sex Pistols, Erik Satie, Nina Simone, The Velvet Underground, Neil Young…

Beside talking, they started to make some noise together a few days after they met, and they decided the chemistry was good, so Noelia told Nico about that old dream and Pytra Oyster took shape. The noises turned into songs or became new noise.

Now and again, Nico would jam with his friend Roy, who met Noe at some friend’s dinner party. Roy also played guitar in other bands and wrote songs for his own solo world: Royness, which were just like him, sometimes introverted, sometimes daring, always imaginative.

Nico worked as Jaleo Real’s ‑—a rumba band whose singer, Sito, was also a drummer, clown-child and a chatterbox—‑ sound engineer. After a year of existence as a duo, Sito joined Pytra Oyster to do the drumming. In the meantime, Roy had started to play bass with a swing band, Mala Junta Trío, and joined them as well with his bass, his voice and some of his songs.

That is Pytra Oyster as it was born, as it is today and how it will hopefully be for many years to come.

Nico, Noe, Sito and Roy are Pytra Oyster. They’ve been making a kind of rock blended with thoughtless sounds for two years. They like noisy guitars, blunt and syncopated bass lines and drumming. Sometimes they sing, sometimes they don’t. When they don’t, they’d like to suggest imaginary landscapes, changing and not too obvious, the kind that materialize in the listeners’ head and keep the route uncertain, mysterious about where the music will land. There is a touch of melancholy and darkness, but there’s also rhythm and chaos. When they sing, they like to talk about different ways of seeing. They dream of a world that knows how to transcend the limited reality we live in, that suggests that there is no final form, there is not just one way of being man, woman, musician. The key to everything, love. Love for music, love as the perfect expression of communication.
