    OHNomad releases new single “This Time Is Different”

    OHNomad has released “This Time Is Different,” a new addition to the catalogue of the composer and musician, whose work draws on classical, jazz and metal influences.

    OHNomad began making music during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020. His compositions have also been influenced by his travels through countries including India and Tibet, as well as his interest in finance and global affairs.

    His previous works include Place of Origins, a sonata premiered at Taiwan’s National Recital Hall in August 2023, and The Silicon Island, which received its U.S. premiere at the Taiwan Tech Summit in California in September 2025.

    “This Time is Different” is available on streaming platforms.

  • OHNomad blends Middle Eastern, classical and jazz influences on “Universal Connection: Rosenwald”

    OHNomad blends Middle Eastern, classical and jazz influences on “Universal Connection: Rosenwald”

    OHNomad has released “Universal Connection: Rosenwald,” a composition that brings together Middle Eastern musical influences with elements of classical and jazz.

    The piece is part of OHNomad’s broader “Universal Connection” series, which explores different cultural and musical references through individual compositions. The series has previously included works inspired by Japan and other places and figures.

    OHNomad began developing his music during the COVID-19 shutdown in 2020, drawing on experiences from earlier backpacking trips through countries including India and Tibet. Those travels influenced his approach to combining Eastern musical ideas with classical, jazz and metal.

    The artist, whose name is Owens Huang, premiered his first sonata, “Place of Origins,” at Taiwan’s National Recital Hall in 2023. In 2024, he presented “The Silicon Island” in Taiwan and “Universal Connection: Rosenwald” in Mountain View, California.

    “Universal Connection: Rosenwald” follows his later work, including “Universal Connection: Junko,” which was presented in Tokyo in 2025, and “The Awakening,” a composition centred on movement between conscious and unconscious states.

    The track is now available on streaming platforms.

    OHNomad Collaborates with Pianist Chi-Jo Lee on  ‘The Awakening’

    The Awakening is a solo piano piece by Taiwanese classical musician OHNomad.

    It’s the first movement of a forthcoming, eight-movement suite, loosely modeled after the structure of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, which OHNomad lists among his most influential works. 

    The Awakening is performed by pianist Chi-Jo Lee, with whom he’s has collaborated on many of his other pieces including Places of Origin, Danielle, Rosenwald, and others. 

    It was recorded November 8, 2025 at Allegro Recordings by Grammy Award-winning engineer, Matthew Snyder and  cover art was co-designed by the composer and French illustrator Aude. 

    The female figure in the artwork represents a blend of both the composer and pianist; and, an expression of the fluidity of emotion, sensuality, and creativity.
