Amar's music combines advanced electronic instruments with "modern-clasicical", jazz and world-music techniques, as well as folk and toy instruments. Amar focuses on music for live performance, blending interactive electronics with acoustic instruments and sound sources, and experimenting with new modes of musically expressive performance. He often incorporates original software instruments into his eletronic work using Open Sound World.
Amar has won several awards for some of his early compositions and has had several of them performed professional, most notably a performance of his clarinet quartet Conversational Impromptu by the New York Clarinet Quartet at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall in 1992. Amar has also performed several of his more recent works live at several venues in the United States, and in Havana, Cuba in 2001.
