There's actually a wonderful documentary by Adrien Rivollier called "TIGRAN" that goes even more in-depth about his process and his connection with Armenian Folk Song - definitely worth checking out!

Tigran is actually the one that inspired me to start my musical journey. After several months of listening to his music and watching him play, I bought an Armenian instrument and started learning it. Afterwards I moved towards piano, improvisation and composition. It’s crazy how much influence he had on my life overall. Nearly 6 months ago I was for the first time on his live concert. And the idea that was shouting inside my mind was - here is the power of authenticity. Here is what true Greatness means. When a person finds himself and expresses in his own way, that’s what happens. Inspiration is just flowing from him. The crowd was going crazy, yelling from emotions and witnessed masterpieces. It was such a gift to see two musicians that I admire in the same video talking to each other. Thank you Nahre! ❤

I’ve been listening to him for 10 years and just got to see him live this March in for the first time!! I drove 5 hours to the concert but it was well worth it! I got to stand front row right next to the piano in the perfect spot to watch all three of them play. Honestly I couldn’t have imagined a better concert 🖤

I find it really fascinating how Tigran has such a distinctive melodic language - in particular the enclosures he does are so UNIQUELY Tigran. In a universe where you sometimes feel like every melody's already been played, I'm really happy to have people like Tigran to prove us wrong.

I'm so jealous that you got to meet Tigran! He's truely a once in a generation kind of person. and somehow he's such a modest and kind person. He makes you feel so many emotions, paints with colors you didn't even know existed. He can make the prettiest little melody, the harshest most jagged rhythm and disonances, make every jazz lover do the stank face. I've seen Tigran live twice, each show had a completely unique set, I hope I'll get to see him play again soon. also, Yogev Gabay mentioned 😁

I went to Nattjazz in Bergen in 2011 to see Al Di Meola. In the room across the hallway, this crazy young pianist played the most amazing things I've heard. He started a bit before Di Meola, so I went to watch him. Pretty much missed half of the concert I came to see, as the pianist blew me away. All I could remember, was that his last name was unusual, and that he played odd meters amazingly. Found out today it was Tigran Hamasyan. To this day, it has been one of my most cherished concert experiences. Amazing musician!

Thanks so much for doing this!

His new single "The Kingdom" is incredible too!

Heyy, thanks for getting that talk and not focusing on the math bits only - it's the other things that blow me away. I couldn't think of a better person to get this interview off of Tigran. He changed music for me. If you haven't gotten the chance yet, please give the 3rd track of Luys i Luso - Ov Zarmanali (Var. 1), a listen. I've never heard someone accompany a choir as though they were the air between the choristers. And the solo, man, the solo.. It's 13/8 but it sounds like infinity.
