The Rob Sbar Noesis-Transfiguring Perceptions

Back



The Rob Sbar Noesis-Live at Downtime, New York City-March 5, 2004 The Rob Sbar Noesis is a virtuosic rock/fusion instrumental guitar-based trio that blends avant-garde and experimental forms of composition within a context of dynamic rock performances. The Rob Sbar Noesis has received critical acclaim throughout the fusion and progressive rock communities for their imaginative, complex arrangements and sheer chops, artfully redefining contemporary instrumental guitar music. Rob Sbar is an accomplished guitarist and composer whose style is a unique blend of rock, modern and avant-garde jazz and fusion along with contemporary chromatic and post-tonal forms. Rob presents a unified, cumulative sensory and arts experience, incorporating the mediums of sound with written and spoken word, and often visual concepts. Wagon Wheels and Atom Bombs has received wide critical acclaim from such reviewers as Mike Sandomirsky who said: "Music creativity just got a kick in the ass his name is Rob Sbar. Fusion meets Jazz Rock with a heavy heaping of Prog elements all grace this superb first release from one of the world's truly creative musical innovators." "Rob Sbar is one of the most unusual guitar instrumental composers ever to grace our presence. Not since Vai or Gambale has there been such extraordinary sounds produced from the electric guitar." "This entire CD should send out a shock wave of epic proportions to all musician/guitarists worldwide. Rob Sbar has transcended from somewhere not of this earth delivering one eclectic mix of beautifully strange and enjoyable tunes a masterpiece of originality and technical prowess!" Critic MJ Brady wrote of Rob Sbar: "Imagine Zappa having actually learned modern fretwork techniques from his one time kid stunt guitarist Stevie Vai, and creating a guitar driven CD of instrumental music inspired by Beefheart." He went on to write, "This CD ventures far beyond the stigmas attached to virtuoso electric guitarists', so much so, that it really has little in common with the cluster of fretboard gymnasts that are being stamped out of the GIT factories everywhere. Rob Sbar, has much more depth of thought than to fall into such a convenient trap, his affinity for a sinister-minded creative approach makes this CD a very enjoyable piece for your aural, visual, and cerebral pleasure." www.rob-sbar.com or myspace.com/therobsbarnoesis
