I'll do my best to tell you about myself but i kinda hate talking about myself. Well im not sure when i first got into making music, it kinda just hit me one day. I have always loved music who does'nt?

I felt that need to take it much further then that, and at the time my main music of interest was simply "Composers" such as Vangelis, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman. They all have inspired me to start making music and no matter how hard i try i cant shake the style they have injected into me. Which i think is a great thing, its what makes my music unique. I like to take this and mix it with my other favorite artists, portishead, tricky, massive attack and so on. I use mainly keyboards, synths, turntables and the computer to make all my music. Im still looking for someone i can get to do vocals on a permanant basis.

Omnifarious is only made up of 1 composer and thats me, i distribute my music under Omnifarious because of its meaning.

adj : of all varieties or forms or kinds

This best represents my music. However for a long time i was known as "Hades" and well, old habits die hard so if you see hades on any of my songs or album covers its Omnifarious. I do plan on spending time to re-do all my album covers and mp3 tags so soon nothing will say "hades" anymore.

John Holowach started with music after he received Rob Dougan's Furious Angels and listened to both discs through and through. He remixed all the tracks on it and put together a remix album of it. Dougan has said that he likes all the remixes, and is flattered.

He debuted his first solo album, A Basement Of Broken Dreams online in January of 2005, and it hit hard. His work has been featured all over the internet in podcasts, vlogs, music features, and elsewhere. He has also been used for a story on Current.TV and in several documentary and narrative films (both feature and short).

Holowach remixes on and off now, but he is more prolific with his original music. He is a samplist, which means he takes clips from other tracks, songs, and sounds (mostly Creative Commons-licensed) and creates something new from them. Most of his albums can be found on the Internet Archive, and his most recent effort, Fallen Angel, is available on Audiobubble.

He is also a founding (and former) member of the international Creative Commons band Tryad.

Self-taught and trained as a classical pianist, Aaron began to branch out in search of piano styles that were out of the realm of his origin. Though George Winston and Michael Nyman were two of beginning inspirations, their music gave him something to look forward to and also began helping him craft his talent.

He began playing around age 4 on his great-aunt’s cherry wood Wurlitzer Upright Console piano. The piano had been in the family for nearly 20 years by the time Aaron took an interest in playing. At the time, his older cousin was learning to play. She taught him his first song on the piano: The Boogie Woogie. The piano was what he looked forward to most when visiting with his great-aunt and great-grandmother. Also at age 4, Aaron showed signs of an artistic nature. He began drawing things he saw, from flowers to cartoon characters on VHS tape cases. His family knew that they had produced yet another spawn of shear and natural talent. Within the next 10 years Aaron would go on to become a skilled and disciplined artist and dressmaker, only to postpone any interests he had in piano music.

Though through the course of his school career he was involved in music theory classes, as well as Choir, Aaron hadn’t touched a piano until his sophomore year in high school. When school let out for that year and he was officially a junior, Aaron bought his first piano as a birthday present and began to teach himself to play once more. Once his grandmother heard him play, she asked that he take piano lessons for guidance and insisted on paying herself. Aaron did not argue with the mutual decision but dreaded his first lesson after hearing so many stories: “I think it’s a lot of children’s greatest fears: The piano teacher. I mean, we’ve all heard the horror stories that made playing the piano far from fun which is why for the longest time, I refused to take professional lessons.” He did, however, find the myths to be untrue after his first lesson. He met a woman who would change his life forever: Marilyn Kelly...
