Tigran Hamasyan - Nairian Odyssey (Solo Piano Live at Berklee)

[@rafaelpernil]

Tigran is one of the 21st century genius of classical music. What a time to be alive! He has delicacy, depth, power, spirit, abstraction... Completely trascendental music!

[@iseetheendisnear2416]

This is the rhythmic equivalent of a jaw-dropping microtonal symphony. And of course, because he’s a genius, managed to add the harmony of a piano on top of that… Absolutely insane.

[@Bebopopotamus]

He went full Tigran on this one.

[@yopohastacuando]

TIGRAN ON FULL ATTACK

[@franciscogiunta7834]

in a couple of years tigran will be analyzed in music schools like Debussy or Beethoven

[@drakkeur]

It is really astonishing how he can go from extremely complex and technical heavy sections to pure harmony and beautifully simple melodies.

[@bakedandsteaked]

I've always considered myself to be a very music minded person. I feel like I've always been able to comprehend and "feel" music better than most people. Most every piece of music I've ever heard, with every artist/composer I will tell myself, "if I practice this enough, I will eventually be able to play it", and that is a statement I still find true. Hamasyan however is much different from any other artist I've ever seen. The way he "feels" music is unlike anything I've ever heard or seen before. The way he comprehends each note and rhythm is incredible. It's as if his musical mind has an absolutely perfect, disruption free connection with his body and his hands. This is beyond my limits, and I'm not afraid to say it. I will never be able to hear and feel music like Hamasyan can. I can listen to it and understand it, but the way he is able to play, regardless of the complexity and difficulty of the piece, just his style and the "feel".. I will never compare and don't know anyone that can. Thank you Berkeley for hosting and thank you Tigran for the incredible performance as always.

[@jrobinsondrums]

If you look, at 10:11 it looks like he meant to play that one note 3 times but the third hit didn't come out all the way - but then he plays the same rhythm again, with just 2 of those notes... what a genius

[@matthewdrake605]

For anyone who's wondering, at least in the studio recording, the pulse shift at 14:32 is from sixteenth notes grouped into fives in 4/4 (giving it a sort of broken 60% swing feel), to sixteenth note quintuplets grouped into sixes in 7/4. I measured the tempos and had my notation software play it back to be sure!

[@UkuleleAversion]

7:14 How is everything he plays so killing and perfect... The tension and release of the line is just so natural

[@bridude2001]

Astounding. Seriously, I believe Tigran is the only human being on the planet who could pull something like this off.

[@passionatedevice5312]

Such a masterpiece! Tells a story. feels good to listen to. I will admit, I have been listening to this on repeat during work for a whole week, non stop, over and over, the whole 8 hours. It does NOT get old!

[@bazdesh]

i have been watching this video everyday since it got posted and - i love the 5:28 clap - and tigran just slowly wiggling his head like "oh man you think that was everything?.." and then he proceeds to blow everyones mind second by second

[@TimothyGondola]

This literally blew my mind :o Tigran's thinking is beyond "another level" I can't figure out how he computes these insane rhythmic rearrangements...

[@AlfonsoPeduto]

how could anyone 'dislike' this performance..?

[@smlak]

I've been listening to a lot complex stuff. Hell, I even play some on the piano. But this. My mind just can't comprehend. It just goes into a "whaaat" mode. Like no idea. Absolutely flabbergasted. WTF

[@somafiora]

I love that he has a microphone for this.

[@uiop60]

The studio version already kicked my ass regularly. I think i'm just dead now

[@Tom12090]

This guy is absolutelly amazing. great respect and love for his work

[@ntn_ntn_]

My favorite thing ever is the theme starting at 13:21

[@PepekBezlepek]

[@maglerdon]

20:06 such an elegant ending to a masterpiece

[@МихаилГригорян-о5ш]

Bravo Tigran! Very cool. that you do!

[@peterweins9017]

[@SpiramusPresents]

Endless Potential !!!! Spirit ALL THE WAY!!!!

[@rishimazza]

Masterpiece

[@jordantalks77]

[@yumavaneekelen]

Of course. He even puts his mic away exactly ON THE BEAT (beat 5 if you count in 7/8) 2:56 (mic hit is at :59). Of course.

[@michelepiteo7179]

really loveleee and as truthful as it gets watereeee

[@sanmarinojr]

This guy , every time ... I even checked if it was on oiginal speed cause it's sounds out of this world.. but who said he's from this planet anyway..

[@alamosdark4517]

I no longer believe Tigran Hamasyan in from our Universe he just proved the parallel universe theory to me

[@sensejazz]

This is amazing!!! My inspiration !!!

[@xd-px9gj]

[@Eflatmajor7sharp11]

Curious how many drummers eBay’d their gear after this concert.

[@user-jasmin1905]

Браво !!!!

[@OysterWallace]

I wish I was there.

[@Tracks777]

Awesome! Keep it up!

[@עידוסלמיניס]

Wowww

[@ninofunka1106]

No. 1 Djazz guy

[@richdefazio2497]

Sometimes it sounds like he has a little “prepared piano” goin on, but I’m pretty sure he’s making that sound with his mouth. And it sounds way cooler than my drummer grunts

[@daughj]

I can only think of Keith Jarrett as someone else who is this level of an improvisor

[@juanquiroga8933]

The melody at 3:06 kills me

[@VST421]

un sueño hecho realidad

[@shri777]

I thought nobody is "louder" than Keith when playing

[@SuperFashi]

So good at 3:22

[@maglerdon]

13:40 Just incredible

[@Tracks777]

I enjoyed your video :)

[@aureliaanastasia4198]

Dude I need that mic

[@barriovueno]

Amazing human been

[@kolkol123145]

Love this piece. Can anyone try to decipher the time-signature change at 14:20 to 14:40? I know it starts in 7/4.

[@kolkol123145]

Fantastic, thank you for your analysis! I'm trying to transcribe this piece, so you are very helpful. Will the time signature remain in 7/4 and the quintuplets/sextuplets be written in sixteenths? Thanks again!

[@jrobinsondrums]

At 7:30 it sounds like he makes a mistake, but in time, and then plays the same mistake again in time, and keeps going

[@Antonela.Leão]
