Ari Folman-Cohen

 

An electric and upright bassist Ari performs in New York City and around the world. Equally at ease in many different musical worlds, Ari tends towards experimental projects as well as many jazz and world music collaborations. His solo project navigates the improvisational and textural world of pedals and looping devices, mixing composition and spur of the moment improvisation into dreamy trance inducing soundscapes or terse disturbing cacophony between ear catching melody.

  Ari is an  eclectic and open minded musician and his repertoire and stylistic approach fuse the varied experiences he finds himself in. As bass player for Grammy award winning guitarist Stephane Wrembel he holds down exciting and sturdy gypsy jazz bass lines. In avante punk mambo group Gato Loco he thrashes melodically on the electric bass. When playing with his ska and rocksteady project Pangari and The Socialites he supplies the  melodic foundations. In addition he has performed extensively with with theatre visionary Taylor Mac, piano virtuoso Jean-Michel Pilc, gospel phenoms Harlem Gospel Choir and shared the stage one bizarre new years eve with Jimmy Buffet. In addition to musical pursuits he works on his own film creation, as well as forays into short stories, cartoons and script writing.

Still On

by Ari Folman-Cohen

My latest album is a quilt. It is lovingly stitched of improvised solo bass performances, found sounds, guitar ramblings and the percussive musings of myself and friends into a virtual tapestry of song. I hope it brings you to places you care to linger a little longer. Available at Ari Folman-Cohen music
