[@OutlawStarkiller]

Yess dude

[@Totoleguitariste]

[@Totoleguitariste]

[@ibrahimutant]

Maybe one day they will do a tour together or collaborate on something. We can dream, right?

[@MishaMansoor]

Incredible.

[@roygelvan1876]

Misha Mansoor you guys share the same influences eh?

[@darrenbrowndrums]

Very true! So is your music Misha!

[@UkuleleAversion]

Arthur lays down a steady 4/4 while Tigran play the 35 16th note long riff with Sam following along. However, that's 3 extra 16th notes longer than a bar of 4/4 so in order to resolve it Tigran and Sam play through that riff seven times (7x35=245) then add a truncated eighth repetition of 11/16ths to bring it to a total of 256 16th notes. Divide by 256 by 16 and you get 16 bars of 4/4.

Jesus christ🤯🤯🤯😱🤩

[@101TheWierdo]

I want to see Tosin Abasi and Tigran Hamasyan perform together it would be INSANE!

[@ssoonnyymm]

I wanna See Tigran Hamasyan perform with Serj Tankian

[@101TheWierdo]

That would also be epic!

[@TheEsoterist]

ssoonnyymm They collaborated on 'Jazz-iz Christ' on numerous songs, but it lends itself more to Serj's compositional style than Tingran's.

[@kamikazedibujando3582]

Anarchist Tomato hell yea!!!

[@ArshakAvag]

They will record a song together in Tigran's new album ;)

[@pranavsubramanian3242]

Heaviest Pianist I've ever heard!

[@AlejoViard98]

Yeah, it's like Meshuggah, but isn't metal!

[@LiorOzeriBass]

Alejo Viard Dude, it's sooo metal

[@AlejoViard98]

Lior Ozeri It is heavy, but doesn't belong the metal genre itself.

[@LiorOzeriBass]

Alejo Viard Metal is not a genre anymore - it's a way of life.

[@Adrian.katzenstein]

+Pranav Subramanian This album is so fucking heavy i had to grab my truck to bring the album home

When Jazz, Armenian music and progressive rock come together... Amazing!!

[@flubble2473]

cool music. Found it cuz I was bored and tapped "entertain me" in the research bar

[@justinrensel8518]

What a stroke of luck...or genius!

[@DavidSawang]

Aw man I was going to comment but you beat me to it.

[@wesdesto9563]

Same here lol. There are dozens of us. Dozens!

[@AHarryLife]

I came from the land of the Wikipedia

[@roymuema6067]

We're you entertained?

[@BowlFullOfIceCream]

Fun fact, before he became a jazz pianist, Tigran wanted to be a thrash metal guitarist. You can hear the influences in his music.

[@Dani_Rigel]

Nice to know!

[@OutrunTheSunlight]

When jazz is more exciting than metal...

[@Lomaxxx53]

Jazz is more exciting than metal.

[@MegaMalban]

Dixit Dominus Outrun The Sunlight Yeah haven't you ever heard of Kenny G?

[@Lomaxxx53]

MegaMalban What's your point?

[@Lomaxxx53]

Jazz is more exciting than metal. Have you ever heard Mouse on the Keys? Also I like metal as well, specially death metal.

[@MegaMalban]

Kenny G is so much more exciting than metal.

[@MichaelAE]

I've traveled through time, because this still sounds fresh in 2024.

[@lobstotsbol]

It'll still be fresh in 2095 my bro

This music is in 256/32. What a legend

[@arishok77]

This is jazz-metal!

[@Léopart_le_jaguar]

it's Djazz

[@jaydensydes3478]

today i discovered my new favourite artist.

[@CalvinRussellRings]

1:29 is the meanest riff I've ever heard all year. I love it.

[@MSAYEH]

1:42 part is just amazing

[@Barnes_The_Noble]

Calvin Russell 💯😝

[@kovidsonawane]

1:43 melts my heart. every damn time!

[@allielowry6191]

This sounds like a final boss theme and I'm here for it

[@Hassan_Omer]

Just found you through Al Dimeola's recent interview with Steve Vai, where he played this song. Very cool stuff!!!

[@blumenmusic]

Yes! This is what I've been looking for. Heavy piano that doesn't sound cheesy. Holy crap.

[@ea-nasir420]

This song absolutely slaps, and it taught me the 5 over 4 polyrhythm. If I ever need to remember how it goes I just remember this song. Fantastic and unique blend of Armenian tonality and rhythm with metal and jazz concepts all in one.

[@jibbajungs]

i thought it was in 256/32, with a repeating motif in 35/16 laid over it.

[@paulvarado]

It does help me with dotted quarter notes. The crash cymbal helps

[@Dadude12341]

Progressive Metal is a genre influenced by jazz. Not the other way around. It's a violent genre of music. That's what separates it from other genres. That's whats so great about progressive metal, its openness to other genre influence. To me, I see Tigran as a phenomenal Jazz Artist with Armenian folk influence in his music. Who makes use of complex rhythms and melodies, which just so happens to appeal to folks of this heavy metal 'Djent' subgenre. It's not just about metal, it's about what you can do with music.

[@Dadude12341]

Not to imply that Jazz isn't influenced by other genres. It definitely is, as heard from this video.

[@flyingsteaks]

George McDonald Tigran have said that he likes Meshuggah though

[@GermanSnipe14]

George McDonald violent???

[@KrillSmith]

+George McDonald The drums in this are straight up metal drums though.

[@apeirophobehotline4746]

Where did all these sounds arise from? Why when arranged in certain ways do they become definable as a genre? Who knows?

[@Trevor_M_F]

The bass @ 1:58 is brutal

[@clems6belio]

Oh my god this is too good...

[@pancakemix25]

Clément!

[@DarknessDescend]

This song is a timeless masterpiece! It is so delightful to hear it for all this time, I never get tired of it!

[@shugganize]

Can't stop listening

[@sophieost]

I never heard such art , incredible. what I was searching since I was born

[@jensenoness]

[@hesammokhber2159]

This track drives me crazy 🤌🏻🎧🚬

[@PathIsntReal]

I used to play this around my old friends years ago and they always forced me to turn it off. 🤣 but I still love it anyway!

[@steve7745]

I'm so sad it's taken me this long to find this, as a musician who grew up listening to mostly thrash metal like my padre did but wnded up becoming heavily invested in classical and jazz once I picked up clarinet and saxophone in school, I've been striving to develop a good sense of fusion between the various types of music I love. This is hauntingly good, I've found a great new inspiration for my compositions!

[@RaccoonEatingCacti]

Igorrr might be worth a look as well. I would suggest "Excessive Funeral" or "Tartine de Contrebasse" for a first listen. Crazy stuff. Good luck!

[@SothorosDjents]

Yes! Also, it's great to see some of my favorite musicians, Misha and Clement, commenting here. Glad you guys like it too!

[@casperado666]

I love it how metal actually changes jazz. This sounds rad

[@uraharamitchell7250]

casperado666 Khalid Ennaji Plot twist, maybe Metal came from Jazz?

[@casperado666]

Simon Mitchell Of course it is true at least for some metal bands. On the other hand metal developed it's own character and it apparently influences jazz back. Which I as a metal-head find flattering.

[@oaxacenio]

Misha Mansoor I cant thank you enough for showing me tigran hamasyan back in the days with "What the waves brought"

[@joeleebass31]

This is unbelievably insane...

[@eliassaez7079]

Hamasyan As Leaders

[@josephallsen3135]

That drummer is playing 2 separate time signatures at the same time. The top half of his body is playing in a straight 4/4. He is switching between 5/16 and 3/16 and a few bars that are 9/16 or 11/16 (I am a bit unsure). Not only does he play in two time signatures at the same time; he does it at a real breakneck tempo. (I had to slow the song way down to get the meters). HOLY COW!! My mind is blown!

[@miserirken]

It's 11/16 so it sums up to 256/16, and the 4/4 syncs up at the end of the 256/16 bar.

[@TancrediLoCigno]

Oh man I'm crying, the modulation in the last bars where you use the quintuplet's eight notes as the new pulse, BAM you made my day

[@ZeeZite]

Simply amazing! For as long as the piano has been around an as many compositions that have been written on them. We r very fortunate to have composers like this to push to envelope an shed new light upon the sea of music we already have! Thank you Tigran!

[@Snomadu]

the time signature on this is next-level impressive. such a thrashy piano

[@UkuleleAversion]

It's all in 4/4 however the riff itself takes up the space of 35 16th notes.

[@lucapotlood6368]

​@@UkuleleAversion you can count it in a lot of ways, that is just an example of 4/4 but I count 1 bar of 5 then 1 bar of 15/16 and then finally 14/16 when he goes the octave up in the beginning

[@gmfrunzik]

@@UkuleleAversionTigran wrote it in a 256/16 lol

[@KosmosMusicOfficial]

this sounds like a messed up masterpiece with all its rhythmic experiments. Love it

[@DannySarbs]

That groove is just right.

[@Florek5000]

I don't know how did I get here but I wish I did it earlier. Some new music experience.

[@jean-pierreg.6826]

The Belgians welcomed Tigran Hamasyan last night, in Flagey (Brussels) in concert, sorry, not in concert, some speak rather of "performance"... Obviously the room was seduced, despite the sound being a little loud for some. Two standing ovations (thanks for the encores!). Tigran's dexterity surprised more than one. The coordination with the drummer and bassist was exceptional. A new dynamic in music; a new way of approaching a musical tune; sometimes trance, always rhythm with chords that are its trademark. Tigran fans would also have liked to hear a little more sensitivity (calmer in solo) as he developed in the first and last track, where he brings new sounds (from his Armenia?). We can also highlight the performance of the drummer, particularly in good shape; the bass player was not left out, either. This concert should not stop, but it is so. Come back to us quickly and thank you very much for this exceptional evening.

[@MirkoFustinoni]

This album is almost two years old. It's still one of the best and most refreshing pieces of music I've ever heard.

[@droneggin]

Piano, drums and bass - awesome!!!

[@alexikilikian7959]

wow, I can breathe fresh air!!! this is Jazz revival

[@AlfonsoSalgueiroLora]

This is just pure genius! I absolutely love it and can't wait to get my hands on the new CD. Tigran you have done it once again with your amazing and truly groundbreaking music.

[@linzrishter]

[@JohnLloydDavis]

This was the first Tigran tune I heard. I was watching a video on KZbin where Al DiMeola played it to Steve Vai. Song for Melan and Rafik is my favourite from this album, if I had to choose.

[@AbdiasI]

[@GevorgSoghomonyan]

Great Composition!

[@windmill9998]

yyooooo what genre even is this amazinginess

[@gabriellopes28]

I am an amateur and self auto didact piano player! The 1:29 part took me some little time to understand how you play it in the right time.. I don't know how to read sheet music or to read measures, I just feel the tempo! That little part seems that slighrly slows the tempo, because we re used to listen the tempo before that changing. Now I can understand it by feeling that tempo changing and also by ear 😊

[@karamalzouhir]

How can this music speck to every one of us . So genius

[@christelchantilly4480]

[@michaelursu]

Unfriggin' believable!!! Tigran, I can trust you..

[@hiram6760]

why we try always to put music in a frame work instead of enjoying it , nowadays it's rare when we find something musical , a lot of good composers out there but no body knows bout them versus "fast food" I was fortunate to listen for ex to chick corea , keith jarrett, rick wakeman... it took me years and years just to see the whole picture and still ... I think konnakol has opened a huge field for musician to explore different realms , john mclaughlin was used it to shift completely from so called jazz fusion to indian music .... I deeply thank you for sharing this beautiful music

[@pariskotsaros]

1:00 sounds like Meshuggah damn
