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.
