Jazzkaar 2017: Interview with Tigran Hamasyan

[@anushmanvelyan2310]

I'm so proud and happy to live in Tigran's live times. It's really cool to have a chance be in your live concert. Armenia loves you and proud of you, Tigran. WE ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU ❤

[@acobster]

6:58 hey girl, I know how you feel.

[@anthonyperez-xd9fg]

Same, I cried when I saw Tigran live!

[@irusu.]

I love tigran's vibe. For real. This guy looks like an awesome and very humble person who really loves music

[@whackamole]

And he also looks like a man who knows a good jumper when he sees one

[@whackamole]

One of the absolute greats. Superb.

[@crunchyonion]

“Music was for something.” I love how he truly celebrates music. I feel so honored to live in the same time period as Tigran.

[@theonewithoutidentity]

I love this guy, you can tell he's not just technically proficient, but his music is very spiritual and personal to him.

[@jordantalks77]

His uncle sounds like a great mentor we all need people like that!

[@skoto8219]

First interview I’d seen with him, cool guy. Honestly though I had it in my head that he was so Armenian that he didn’t speak a word of English lol but that’s obviously not gonna be the case with a world class musician who’s been performing internationally since childhood

[@Naira-d4l]

Ինչ լավն ես Տիկ ջաաաան❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Tminus89]

Great musician, my favourite in Jazz

[@gayanegrigoryan4757]

Génial, grand musicien, très talentueux. J'ai adoré.

[@jethroff]

Imagining we are living in the past, Doing households labours or agricultural labors often in solitude and in the peace of the nature. At this point you get your sensibility raised, as well as your diaphragm relaxed. So you naturally start to vocalize and to sing to enjoy your joyfull moment. That mechanical labours were perfect chances to remain in the present moment, where the joy is, and where you can sing naturally, without resistance. It was also a biological walkman inside any of us. repeating tunes that we heard at celebrations or weekend nights. Also the music was usefull for sensible people that inconsciously reprocessed their emotions to let go the emotional excess thanks to music as expression.

this is still reality. it is here underneath everything

[@lucasvarela9632]

I love running on a treadmill staring at a wall.

[@MrMikkyn]

That was such a beautiful piece of writing. Thanks

❤❤❤

[@YoNoFui2010]

God bless Tirgran Hamasyan - lord of rhytms .... sweetest and most humble way to avoid saying that it is God almighty who manifests through him.

[@lilithperson6266]

vamos tigran wow tigran

[@davoflamenco8198]

What a guy!

[@dikajeepic]

what a great opportunity to know about the process of creating miracles and masterpieces!

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

still love it!!

[@AudioOrchardMusic]

A modern Bartok!

[@chamodsamarasinghe1638]

And I thought I was the only one who thought that...!

[@wadsmitter511]

Nice observation! I never thought of that, but i can definently see the similarities. It's not that he sounds like Bartok, but he thinks about music similarly!

[@lambertronix]

nice knitwear

[@StavGoldberg]

Anyone know the name of the tune he's playing at 5:00? Wow I want to find it and transcribe it

[@anthonyperez-xd9fg]

Hey there, I saw your comment a couple of months back but I didn't know myself so I couldn't help you. But after browsing through Tigran's music these past months I now recognize that tune. It's called "Nairian Odyssey", it's in the album "the ancient observer". It's a really cool piece check it out!

[@StavGoldberg]

@@anthonyperez-xd9fg Wow so cool man thank you!!

[@muntzerism-diggerism9695]

he kinda looks like david byrne

[@wadsmitter511]

Shit, you're right! A lot in fact

[@SherKhan-ku9oq]

What piece is he playing?

[@stacyemelineclaire]

Sher Khan Markos & Markos and Nairian Odyssey

[@sanmarinojr]

A classical piece really , shoulde be taught in schools.

[@lilysem7061]

armenian music

[@aarondantley1293]

@@stacyemelineclaire Hey Stace, I'm just seeing this video. Could you re-write the songs you mentioned? It's been tough to find the "Sher Khan Markos & Markos" song. Is that one piece or a few?

[@stacyemelineclaire]

@@aarondantley1293 it’s « Markos & Markos » & « Nairan Odysee » it’s on the « Ancient Observer » album !

[@BowlFullOfIceCream]

Haha I see Tigran is exploring that Jacob Collier clothing fashion there

[@abelmarcel7733]

BowlFullOfIceCream funny joke but this guy doesn't need that

[@irusu.]

BowlFullOfIceCream grow up man...

[@whatno5090]

modern day percy grainger

[@musicfriendly12]

Nah, Percy Grainger is much more "classical" in terms of thought for me, Tigran is in general more traditional, I really think Bartok is a much better comparison. Not talking about quality or whatever, out of the 3 Percy Grainger is my clear favourite, but they are all greats

[@whatno5090]

@@musicfriendly12 yeah to be honest i have no idea what the fuck i was thinking when i wrote that

[@whatno5090]

@@musicfriendly12 OH its because of the folk elements
