Story behind the song
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Optics is the study of the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it. Optics usually describes the behavior of visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light. Because light is an electromagnetic wave, other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays, microwaves, and radio waves exhibit similar properties. Most optical phenomena can be accounted for using the classical electromagnetic description of light. Complete electromagnetic descriptions of light are, however, often difficult to apply in practice. Practical optics is usually done using simplified models. The most common of these, geometric optics, treats light as a collection of rays that travel in straight lines and bend when they pass through or reflect from surfaces. Physical optics is a more comprehensive model of light, which includes wave effects such as diffraction and interference that cannot be accounted for in geometric optics. Historically, the ray-based model of light was developed first, followed by the wave model of light. Progress in electromagnetic theory in the 19th century led to the discovery that light waves were in fact electromagnetic radiation. Some phenomena depend on the fact that light has both wave-like and particle-like properties. Explanation of these effects requires quantum mechanics. When considering light's particle-like properties, the light is modeled as a collection of particles called "photons". Quantum optics deals with the application of quantum mechanics to optical systems.

Well done George.. This combination of close & narrow rhythm with open & horizonal background would just match your chosen title "Optical".. Otherwise I wonder how music could be "optical"..! nice work my friend Best wishes Ousama AFIFI, EG Music

George, Love this song. Also agree with victory 01. Would suit perfect as a soundtrack. Also agree with yninoarrane, the beat. As it´s now it take over a bit of the wonderful synths. Take care Leif

Hi Giorgos, You created your own soundscape. I like it, but there's something about the beat. May be it's just me, is it to much in the front or ....? Regards, Yninoarrane.

George I can mirror what "Victory 1" has put regarding use of this track for backing music for a film. It is different & original, which is always to be respected & aknowledged. Keep pushing the boundaries. Steve

George, I think "Optical" will go well when used for a film. I love your piano acoustic more to just listen to. Santa.
