Discography
Delivered Free (2008)
"Delivered Free" is available and downloadable for free at common MP3 platforms. This project was very interesting since I came to the question
what will happen if I perform and produce with the strict option
to only use freeware and free material available on the internet.
(Ready made loops of any instrument excluded)
The article and list of used free material to be found at artist homepage.

Did you know ?

In ancient times lived Japanese monks
painting with their hairs.

Why with the hairs ?

It was not some sort of avant-garde
like it might be used nowadays
to make the painter more interesting,
more special,
to profile the ego.
It was quite the opposite ...

Shaku (2003)
The challenge was to create a figure,
not knowing exactly what kind of being it is.
"Friendly spoken,I still don`t know
who or what Shaku is.
But it is breathing,it has a birth
and it has it`s death.
So whenever there is a start point
and an end
there must be something alive.

The very point I assume is
there is a chance to feel with a being.
Ever had a Teddybear ?
Holding a piece of textile
in your arms
and been accompanied
by a pair of glass eyes.
And yet it may helped you
to bring you closer
in understanding
what love and compassion could be."

This Album is an independent release.
Retail CDs are avaliable on Online Stores.
Digital distributions avaliable on Internet platforms.

Petite d`Afrique (2001)
This album is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 License.

Full album available at radio stations like www.last.fm and MP3 platforms worldwide. Detailed list,prelistens and additional infos to be found at artist homepage

A set of songs dealing with African motives

They "tell" little storys of landscape impressions
and moods at daytime and in the night.

This Album was originally intended
to be composed just for fun.
After positive feedbacks I decided
to share it with others for free.
What I liked to do on this songs
was a merge of soft pads
on the back and percussions as the structure.
And to use vocals I don`t undertsand
on it`s context,
I was forced to feel the meaning.

About Omkar
Omkar is a multi-instrumentalist and composer
running a studio in Hamburg, Germany.
The basics are
Worldmusic, Ambient, Lounge,
Easy Listening, New Age
with a blend of Classic and Jazz.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I`m composing and performing multi-instrumental.
Over the time I accomplished equipment for a small studio in Hamburg, Germany.

I used to play in live bands on different instruments,
basically drums, percussion, guitar and flute
and I wrote the songs.

Today I prefer to work on solo projects
and the digital age enables me to apply instruments from computer.

The challenge producing digital to me is
to find the expressions of the instruments as I would play them live.
To produce without having the instruments starched and inflexible.
I`m trying to create the instruments in a vital way
although assisted with computer and sequencer.

All publications are produced independent
and the free material is licensed under the terms of creative commons.
