New music video from OHNomad

San Francisco-based artist and composer OHNomad has charted an intriguing path on his musical adventure, with influences that stretch far beyond the typical genres and settings. Having started his artistic endeavour during the pandemic in 2020, OHNomad draws on his diverse life experiences and philosophical reflections to craft his unique sonic output.

Raised in an environment where exploration was second nature, he spent his youth backpacking through countries such as India and Tibet. These journeys through Eastern cultures left a lasting impact on his worldview and, ultimately, his approach to music.

Blending the reflective, meditative elements of Eastern philosophy with his love for classical music, jazz and even metal, OHNomad’s work offers something truly original. His compositions are often described as thought-provoking and serene, offering a emotional experience that reflects his life path. As a hedge fund manager, his interest in global events and the nature of the financial world serves as a constant source of creative inspiration, exploring the crossroads of finance, art and philosophy.

OHNomad first introduced his sound in 2022 with his debut track “Morning Inspiration,” followed up with three further releases before his three-part sonata, Place of Origins, at Taiwan’s National Concert Hall with fluatist Ann Kuo. Now he brings us his recent release with the song titled “Universal Connection: Danielle,” and emotionally-charged, delicate composition dedicated the the artist’s friend Eyal in memory of his daughter Danielle.

This emotive context is beautifully mirrored by the stunning orchestral piece that features the talents of pianist Chi-Jo Lee, Yuhsin Galaxy Su on clarinet and Ann Kuo on flute who bring to life OHNomad dazzling composition. Full of elegant melodies that tumble over the intricate piano performance, the piece shifts through a series of moods from the graceful and dreamy to the bold and lively.

It’s a spectacular showcase of modern classical music from an exciting new composer able to convey powerful emotions and conjure vivid imagery in his sensational work. Paired with the song is a music video directed by Cheng-Chen Kuo which features the three musicians performing the piece on stage, cut with abstract shots to deliver an engaging visual accompaniment to the exquisite music.
