Imagine playing this to people in the 1600's

[@matistamusica]

😮

[@AliceIsAtlas]

funny I was imagining showing this to bill evans

[@clarkem4119]

Ever been so awestruck and delighted by something that you burst out laughing from sheer happiness? That's me right now.

[@itayresh]

Been in one his concerts, and my sister who was there was with me - just couldn't understand why I'm bursting in laughter every once in awhile. Totally and utterly get you.

[@donmarley69]

Understandable. Had that same experience while reading Emile Zola’s Ladies Paradise, happened about 3-4 times. This performance by Tigran’s trio seems worthy of a few bouts of laughter - amazing composition.

[@Unearthlywhales]

This is just awe inspiring to me, the only time I have that feeling you have is with the band Vildhjarta, very different type of music but the same emotion that it invokes in me. Just being super happy and almost manic as it's so ridiculously good.

[@gabylepoivre]

[@noevasquez2181]

Ññ

[@PepekBezlepek]

to me this trio is one of the best things to happen to music

[@MetalheadDoon]

The musical composition and time structure are mind-blowing.

[@ElTontito]

this and the aristrocrats are the top!

[@walterrserrano]

I would say EVER.

[@cab88888]

This is crazy. Like really amazing. I know this tune inside and out, and Tigran is always adding some interesting stuff. And that drummer. That fucking... goddamn drummer... These people are from another part of the galaxy...

[@waltzguy14151]

I’m a drummer. I hate that drummer he’s so fckn good. If I ever see him I’m gonna give him what for. How dare he play that good. Fucker.

[@CriticalofOnions]

The cool jazzy part of the galaxy

[@MetalheadDoon]

Sick. The timing and rhythm is on a par with the best.

[@MetalheadDoon]

Some are very gifted in musical composition and are given the right path to success.

[@cab88888]

​@@MetalheadDoon Yes. Some are indeed. But it is not just about being "gifted". I mean the opportunity to get there is definitely something that was given to them. But these guy have also paid the price to get where they are, you don't get that good without spending the hours. So it is a gift that you have to pay for, and that reminds me of a comment from Flea when he talked about Jaco Pastorius, where he basically said that when you get THAT good, there has to be repercussions on the other aspects of your life. Tigran is so focussed on music... Always has been.

[@josephscheribel2096]

Tigran looks like a mad scientist concocting odd brews.

[@oscargill423]

Ha, odd, get it?

[@hamzailarzeg]

@@oscargill423 hahaha

[@hugofraser462]

The sound engineer needs some mad credit for this one! @Karen Chilingaryan

[@5amJones69]

Yeah it sounds fucking dope. Pulling audio from a live gig and making it sound good on headphones isn't as simple as people often think. Probably sounded fucking amazing live too.

[@thewaldfe9763]

The level of reverb is a bit annoying (especially on the drums), but that's probably the room

[@pablors6718]

there are not much things like this level on youtube

[@walterrserrano]

Maybe nothing, actually.

[@pranaymo]

Band : In what time signature is this song tigran ? Tigran : Yes

[@kartiknarayanan4051]

hhahahahaha

[@julianblair757]

what's crazy is that's it's mostly 4/4

[@pranaymo]

@@julianblair757 well everything is 4/4 when you don't accent the notes

[@julianblair757]

@@pranaymo Well duh... ;) That's a vacuous truth. In this instance the groupings of 16ths are 5 + 5 +7 +5 + 5 + 5 = 32/16, or 2 bars of 4/4. You can feel the entire thing in 4/4 (which is what the band probably does, same with tunes like Vardavar). It doesn't make too much sense to me to try and feel it in mixed/alternating meter.

[@pranaymo]

@@julianblair757 I feel you bruh ! And doing that with complex polyrhythms is taking it to next level.

[@oscargill423]

Those transitions between G minor and E minor... those transitions between 5-7, 4-5 and 3-4 metric systems... the transitions. The transitions are everything.

[@MetalheadDoon]

Most people have no idea how vital timing and rhythm are to musical composition. Pure crushing sickness! 😳

[@joelariasdiaz6991]

A drummer have to burn in another galaxy to be able to keep up with Tigran odd time signatures!!!

[@MetalheadDoon]

The sickest.

[@nebojsadurmanovic2268]

The faces on the bass player while he plays the thickest three notes in the universe. Priceless.

[@islandpalm148]

In the age of sequencers, this human and his bandmates show who's boss.

[@MetalheadDoon]

Pure crushing sickness. Mozart, Bach, and Bethoven could learn from Tigran.

[@NickyByloo]

One of the best things I have ever heard. And I have heard a lot.

[@morrisdun6716]

OK

[@klefftan8344]

Morris Dun what do you mean by that?

[@NickyByloo]

@@morrisdun6716 Yup. The dynamics on display, reaching my ears are mind blowing. Out of the Grid is so phenomenal. My favourite Trigan trio. Do yourself a favour and check out all his work. ;)

[@NickyByloo]

@@morrisdun6716 BTW: His new album is out now. Get it now if you haven't already. It is a masterpiece of note.

I know dude, very few people have a good ear for musical composition. Tigran crushes on the piano! Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach could learn from this master!

[@theclash435]

the bassist has a mad power pose man, love this trio!

[@polyphony250]

I'm sure Tigran would have made a fabulous metal guitarist, if he picked it up. Or any instrument or genre at all, really.

[@daboss15987]

[@I-Am-L]

Yeah idk, I kinda like him EXACTLY where he is

once you feel the groove you cant go back

[@ethanhermsey]

Wouw the bassist using his knob like that :o This is amazing. They all play so good. The drum scores go so well along with the song too.

[@waltzguy14151]

It’s part of the arrangement. He always executes that section like that. It suspends time on the pinhead of a needle.

[@jimberberian129]

Only at Tigran's comment section I put the likes on any comment, and there was already my like.

[@GothicOctopus]

These musicians hurt my brain. What an absolute masterclass

[@MetalheadDoon]

Tigran's theatrics and piano work are intense! a metal version of this song would crush.

[@ghitastoti5532]

INTENSE. I can't describe how intense this is.

[@PepekBezlepek]

[@readfrenchtheeasyway]

Listened to this song and actually the last three songs on this album dozens and dozens of times. Just the best thing to happen to music in a very very long time.

[@ignaciodiaz9932]

The travel of to negate to out of the grid is just something I cant express, the full mockroot álbum but that 3 in the end, it is just amazing, I cant even say in words how complete, how intense in a positive way i fell

[@jamiewashere]

I agree! There's something almost transcendental about it, as if there's something more than just music we are listening to.just sublime

[@charlesfarran1717]

Aaahhh I’m speechless.

[@winabojonegoro2615]

Yesterday I sent Tigran's link to an Indonesian poet. She was very surprised, how could She not know this very poetic music. Tigran's composer, according to her, is very poetic.

[@michaelclarkson2218]

Beautiful music. I first heard of Tigran Hamasyan on an album by Dhaffer Yussef called 'Abu Nawas Rhapsody' which featured him on piano. Absolutely beautiful playing. I'm really hooked on his style and this particular genre of modern jazz fusion.

[@AmatriceBand]

This is very inspiring and moving

11:20-11:21 A mistake! He's human! And another one at 12:21... Wait, these are exactly one minute apart. He's committing "mistakes" at exact one minute intervals in order to fool us into thinking he's human.

[@klefftan8344]

Tom Parker nah it's just jazz lol. No wrong notes ;)

[@UkuleleAversion]

Kleff Tan As someone who actually practices jazz, you’re wrong. No note alone is wrong but music is made with intentions and made sense of by context. Tigran did not intend to play that bum note because all the other repeats of that section on this live performance, others and the studio recording do not have this variation and it is not consistent with his style. Even when players go “outside” there is still a logic to what is played even if they are not consciously aware of it themselves. Jazz isn’t wrong notes, it’s the freedom to choose your own notes with respect to context and your own intentions in the moment.

[@nacienlos70]

That rhythm section has some balls. One miscount and you srewed up bad.

Think of Tigran, who has to do the rhythm with his left hand, amidst playing the complex harmonies and melody. Really top level musicians
