Review "A very skillful craftsman, Omar creates a keyboard driven tour de force that takes you somewhere else entirely." -- Chris Spector, Midwest Record Recap Omar spins musical stories of love, loss and redemption, tales that open the heart and touch the soul. -- Steve Ryals, New Age Retailer, October 2002 From the Artist "People who don’t understand new age sometimes complain that it all sounds the same," offered Omar from his L.A. home. "Real new age fans appreciate the artistry of people like Yanni and Kitaro, but a lot of people haven’t developed a taste for it yet. That’s where I hope to come in." Omar best illustrates his diverse musical talents on the standout piece "Waves of Emotion". What begins as a beautiful solo piano performance gradually builds with layers of progressively powerful orchestration until the song reaches an emotional climax. Unexpectedly, a bass line and percussion track emerge from the passionate afterglow, as Omar’s performance on piano and synthesizer soar above the arrangement. "It’s amazing what you can do with computers and synthesizers today," remarked Omar, "you can virtually create an orchestra. But when you hear my piano, there’s nothing automated, that’s all me." In fact, Omar considers his virtuoso talent to be something of a secret weapon in the new age genre. "I can’t wait to get out there and perform live," said Omar, "I love to entertain and interact with people."
