I've been listening to so much Tigran that I am being targeted for advertisements for Armenian dating sites 🥰

Everything’s in 4/4 if you don’t count like a nerd! 😂

We all focus on the brilliance of Tigran but god friggin dammit the rest of the band are absolute beasts.

[@theopinson3851]

It takes top tier to even keep up with him.

One of the best drummers I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen Bill Bruford.

It's terrifying that they can *remember* this music, let alone play it. The rhythmic nuances are just bonkers.

that whole solo section where Tigran throws in heaps of blues language is so sick

Which one is that?

Master Tigran, please release this whole concert. It is insane, mind blowing, beautiful. I use to watch it all the time in YT and mostly in FB, afterwards it disappeared from YT. But thanks a lot for these clips. Anything that is picked from this concerto is sublime and impressive. Much love from Panamá.

It's crazy to observe this telepathic process happening between them, pure creative energy

[@joanstone6740]

pretty sure this is not improvised.

[@Profmillar]

​@joanstone6740 What are you smoking? This is jazz? Yeah the structure isn't improvised, but everything in-between is.

[@joanstone6740]

@@Profmillar So what is the telepathic process the structure has been written and they're playing their parts

[@Profmillar]

@joanstone6740 the 'telepathic process' is just their musical intuition predicting and following what the other musicians are doing. And it is improvisation, they have not written out every single note that they are going to play.

[@Setri123]

@@joanstone6740 they are improvising loads during the solo, from around 3:12 to - 7:01

[@christopherbellis]

Slowed it down to half speed and I still can’t count it!!

[@UkuleleAversion]

It's tough since the 16th notes go by really fast, maybe try counting with takidimi and tap your foot with the bassist's part. While they do metrically modulate to 4/4 at points the main time signatures are 17/16 + 15/17 grouped 5,5,5 and 5,5,7 respectively. In takidimi: ta-ki-te-ta-ka (3x), ta-ki-te-ta-ka (2x) ta-ki-di-mi-ta-ki-te

[@georgegyulatyan3263]

5+5+7+5+5+5. 16th notes add up to total of 32 notes in the pattern, so it’s 2x4/4 measure pattern.

[@truckviolence]

just so beautiful goddamn

[@aatntidkname7447]

My teacher and writer for the indoor drumline I'm in just told me he's using this song as the Closer! ive known about the song for a few years now but im exited to play drumset with the ensemble! Love the song!

[@TarasPuzyr]

gorgeous music. not a word impressive, but an absolutely mind-blowing performance! So effective trio.

[@zoltanorsky]

Amazing !! Such a joy !! Quality of this live recording is superb!! This is a brilliant composition, especially for someone who listen to tons of progressive metal like Animals as Leaders and loads more also to some jazz and rock all sorts of experimental, progressive music. Mastery and great musicianship!!

Odd time signatures. Greeks, Turks, and Kurdish have that rhythm in their blood. Watch them dance to this style. He is improvising on his ethnic culture.

[@amadogandema3294]

Can anyone help me with the time signature of this masterpiece please?

[@JesseBlueEads]

(5+5+7) + (5+5+5), which adds up to 32/16, so you can actually pulse a quarter note against it if you can find it! That way it feels like 2 bars of 4/4. Sometimes the hi-hat does that as well. At the end, Arthur reveals the quarter note against that accent pattern on the cymbal.

[@amadogandema3294]

@Jesse Blue Eads thanks a lot! I'll try to dig dipper into this! Have a nice day :)
