Vocal-synth-rhythmic, and other recordings are solo piano works.
"The Omega Point" is Isadar's 12th studio album. Conceptually rooted in Tipler's "Omega Point Theory" (the end of the universe as we know), Isadar's album is musically electronic with pop-song structure sensibilities that are occasionally danceable. Containing intelligent and thought-provoking themes, the album is much in-line with adult contemporary tastes. Following, is the video clip for "The Omega Point" from The Omega Point (2008)
"LiFe v.2.0" (2007) is Isadar's 11th studio album. LiFe is conceptual and built around a fictional ability of being able to upgrade one's life much like a computer software program - bringing along enhancements, revisions, and upgrades resulting in a better quality of life, experience, and enjoyment.
Following video is the title track to "Dream Of The Dead" (1997)
Isadar has been involved with music all of his life. Born and raised in south Louisiana, Fabian Isadar Thibodeaux was inspired by music he was exposed to as a child, and began playing the piano “by ear” at a very early age. He began formal piano studies at the age of five. By the time Isadar was ten, he had already won an impressive number of awards in local competitions. Piano study continued off and on, shifting to a focus on woodwinds in his teens.
Isadar's involvement with his high school's musical rekindled his interest in the piano and triggered improvisational skills which segued into songwriting.
A graduate of the University of Louisiana, Isadar began to professionally record his compositions while a student. These early recordings evolved into his 1997 vocal release, "Dream of the Dead," (watch video right above this bio text) and were influenced by British recording artists - Kate Bush (in particular, her masterpiece, "The Dreaming"), Thomas Dolby, Peter Gabriel, and US/NYC based performance artist Laurie Anderson. Inspired from attending a performance by pianist Liz Story, Isadar briefly changed his focus to solo piano and recorded his 1990 debut, "Near the Edge of Light." In the early 90's, Isadar concentrated on writing pop music to finance his more artistic work.
Isadar relocated to New York City in 1993 to further pursue his music and recording. His first break came within a year when an advertising firm in New York hired him to create the soundtrack for a Ralph Lauren "Safari" TV ad. Isadar then began an employment term with Sony Music Entertainment, managing recording contracts. He continued to record original music and created mechanical reproductions of his piano recordings for playback in player-pianos. Isadar's interest in mechanically re-produced music further developed into creating sound recordings of antique music boxes.
Isadar resides in Queens, NY. He continues to write, record, and make music videos to accompany his work as he has time, and is currently a manager within Sony BMG Music Entertainment's department of Vault and Archives. His music is globally distributed through iTunes.
