Kobi Arad – The Experience Project - Feat. Robert Margouleff and Jack DeJohnette

The Experience Project,' is a CD Collaboration between the Prolific Israeli pianist-composer Kobi Arad (Grammy Award voting member, 21 self-titled CD's on Amazon, and pioneering Doctorate in Third Stream) - and Robert Margouleff (Associate producer, Stevie Wonder's 'Innervisions,' 'Talking Book,' 'Fulfillingness First Finale' and 'Music of My Mind') – to take place in NYC.

Recently Sir Robert Margouleff (Stevie Wonder's stellar producer from Stevie's 1970's most legendary albums) expressed his profound interest in Kobi Arad's work. He traveled to the East Coast to work with Arad. As Robert transformed Stevie's Artistry, he is looking forward to have a powerful impact on Arad's style as well; recording took place in April 2015

This project is a “Big Bang” of explosively creative ideas, symbols and sounds, alongside with themes incorporated from Kabbalah, African tribes, Indian beats, and contemporary avant-garde. Instantaneous compositional blend, comprised of flashes of intuition and inspiration. Electronic and acoustic merged, with a soulful focal point. Utilizing the essential use of electronic instruments, as an orchestra and not mere emulators. Kobi Arad's creative circular palette / line-up of instruments in the studio (piano, analogue Moog, Arp as well as digital synths, percussion and creative control gadgets etc.) will resemble Stevie's in his legendary album, 'Innervisions.'

This project incorporates master drummer Ray MacNaught and Israeli prodigious bass player Jonathan Levy. It shall also facilitate modern dance beats and electronic effect bass lines. Drums & perc. overdubs result in tribal groves, counterpoint bass layouts, lining sides with the complex textural structures of modern harmonies; in addition, melismas and melodic layers, glowing with the extreme sonorities of avant guard. Thus establishing Arad’s work as the missing link between Herbie Hancock's and Stevie Wonder.
