Though the project’s bio states that Omiah is “a mixture of both electronic and acoustic instruments along with various sounds used for both percussion and composition of atmospheres and soundscapes”, it’s a little more difficult to categorize Omiah than one would think. Traces of IDM, post-rock, EDM, and other electronic-based genres abound, and the instrumental project is obviously a vast departure from what anyone would expect vocalist Jake Wolf of Reflections to attempt. The album, simply titled “u“, is a true work of art that fans of Massive Attack, Aphex Twin, and ambient soundscapes will want to pay attention to. And while work on new Reflections material is being worked on, perhaps seeing more Omiah material would be pretty cool, too.
