Burning Codes is the solo project of Irish, Belfast born singer and songwriter Paul Archer, (Paul also contributed vocals to five tracks on Snow Patrol’s ‘Eyes Open’) the project also includes various sonic collaborators including Iain Archer (Solo Artist, Snow Patrol, Reindeer Section, and Ivor Novello winner).  Burning Codes music concerns our own unique messages, the codes which are truly ours, uniquely understood and owned by each of us, uniquely. The music is birthed from our moments and what we do with these moments, how we see, feel, react, encode and decipher the inner messages and the outer manifestations of what we feel, think and do.

So, in some way the aim is to try to ’seize the moment/s’ and, as much as possible, create right there and then, just to see what happens when we abandon our conventions and let things flow.

Burning Codes has received Radio One airplay via Zane Lowe’s Evening session, BBC 6 Music and BBC NI’s Across The Line plus various local stations nationally as well as independent radio stations in the U.S.
