I was in a middle of a pretty bad depression when I discovered Tigran Hamasyan (thanks to my improv teacher) and his music was one of the things that pulled me from a very dark place. I'm so grateful that this music exists and it continues to be my go-to medicine for bad thoughts and one of the pillars of my mental health. Thank you.
@@andresilvasophisma doing better is impossible if this cringe kid talk about music for cure depression. this guys is mental weak whit zero problem, period
I played music for 34 years and had a 20+ year career in the music business. I quit for four years after a frustrating human experience. I credit Tigran for my renewed passion and drive to create music and for finding again my true purpose. I'm back. Thank you Tigran.
@@UkuleleAversion Yeah, that's me too. It's kinda weird though, I noticed the first few times you listen to a new tune of him you almost instinctively feel where the beat is. At least roughly. It's like his music is rhythmically insanely complex but at the same time intuitively sensible.
I just discovered this music and all of Tigran's work last week, a few days before my father passed away. My father used to play the guitar but he wouldn't play it for quite some years while he was battling his cancer. In his last months he was starting to desire to play again and we talked a few times about playing together, although that never happened. The Call Within is starting to mean a lot to me and represents to me a lot of the feelings I have for my experience of witnessing my father's disease and passing away: tremendously complex, difficult to understand but deeply mystical and touching. I'm grateful for this brilliant musical expression, it nurtures my soul to allow such rich music into my life, especially in this difficult moment.
The structure of this song is so brilliant. It sounds like (correct me if I'm wrong) the piano starts off playing 21 in 7 bars of three and then the rhythm section comes in playing 3 bars of 7, then the piano picks up to match the rhythm section, and by the end of the song the drums and piano flip. It creates this intensity and chaos at first because the parts only seem to match up occasionally, then there is this harmony when they match each other, and eventually it winds down into chaos as they mix up again. It also gives the feeling that the piece is alive and growing and transforming before our eyes, it's really a genius song.
Yes I completely agree. It's these factors of unexpectedness, technicality & fusion that can make the concept of music (referring to everything popular and 'produced', as even the horde themselves like to call it proudly) into an actual art called music
WOW...The bar for genius just got reset. Not just the music, which I am obsessed with, but even his video. How beautiful to see the references to his Armenian homeland. System of a Down, Gor Mkhitarian, Johnny Berbarian, and of course Tigran.... How wonderful to see such great contributions from Armenians around the world..
If you enjoy the intersection of traditional Armenian music with experimentation then you may be interested in a musician named Lara Sarkissian. Its more on the soundscape/electronic side of things but I think its quite cutting edge.
Saw him twice in 2011 and 2015. One of the best performances ever. His mix of genres is unbelievable and a dream come true from a huge fan of jazz Meshuggah and other wordly music. New album is going to destroy, erase and improve me Thank you Tigran.
Tigran's ability to sound so heavy yet pivot to those beautifully evocative folk passages in the same piece will always amaze. Can't wait for the full album.

The man is a musician and a scientist to me. In his approach of makin’ musics, he is structured because he’s talented but so free, like he’s expérimentait’.
You have to stand in awe of Tigran Hamasyan- the most evocative musician on earth right now, who plays piano like a tightrope walker traversing the grand canyon.

This is so awesome! I really am happy that there are artists like you who are redefining, not only their respective instruments, but music itself. Tigran, you are very important to human culture!
I now know the whole first and second part, and the powerful chords at the end. Surprisingly enough, the apparently simple melody + chords part is hard as hell, but overall worth a try! I feel advantage cause of the Guitar Hero part of my life lelz
I've always sought to know more about music, and it's been a really fun journey with a really satisfying final (for now) result. One of the downsides though, is that all the wonder can often feel like it's gone from music, like no music is indescribably cool anymore. Tigran brings the wonder back into music. I listen to his stuff, especially this, and half the time, I have no idea what's going on. And I love it. I don't feel the need to analyse it, I just let the notes whizz by at a million miles an hour, and it's exhilarating. So thank you Tigran. Thank you for bringing the wonder back into music.
@@iamrichlol lol you what M8? He even hired the same visual artist than Meshuggah for one vid. And it's a well known fact he's a fan aswell :) But anyway it was more of a joke anyways
@@ludocoker we all know Tigran loves some 0-00-00- now and then hahaha! I also was missing this style of tigran's music! Do u know the name of the visual artist?
To the old soul, time traveler Tigran, only someone like you with an extreme sensitivity and inner world could make this happen... thanks again... as every note, every gesture, every detail seems to tell the story of the human condition. From the very ancient, to the very modern. That small, cautious step back taken towards the end of the video and the grid reflected on your face brought sudden, inexplicable tears to my eyes. "Magnifique". How I wish I had a drop of Armenian blood in me.... Âme magnifique, voyageur dans le temps, il faut une grande sensibilité et un monde intérieur riche pour aboutir à ce moment...merci une nouvelle, fois, Tigran... chaque note, chaque geste, chaque détail semblent raconter la condition humaine. Ce pas en arrière vers la fin de la vidéo et la grille reflétée sur le visage m'ont fait subitement fondre en larmes. Magnifique
That's just beautifully phenomenal! ~Very reminiscent of "Mockroot", which is a masterpiece, can't wait to hear this new album "The Call Within". Thank you Tigran for blessing us with your new music, you truly are a musical artist like no other in these times we live now. May the Universe always keeps you whole Master.
This is the music a human being bonded with his roots and culture, with deep love and appreciation about art, with a life dedicated to it and lots of talent would make. It's the most beautiful feeling when you can put all your talent and effort into something truthful.

A soundtrack for the twitchy. One day we'll learn to channel it.
Tigran wants us to think this is just a piece of music but he's actually giving his home planet the signal to begin the invasion.
Underated comment
Sounds about right. Perfect aliens
This comment wins.
If that's the case, then please take over this shitshow

In 2016, a keyboardist I adored died.
I was grieving and desperate. But the discovery of Tigran's music has revitalised me.
Thank you, Tigran.

Tigran has changed my life.
I’m glad that Tigran validated all my weird head-bobbing and fake piano playing with this video.
Yes, absolutely! I do that a lot with drumming and I've never touched drums in my life.
Kom'rk Ordo it doesn’t stop when you learn an instrument; musical miming is always fun!
I still couldn't find an air bass and air drum validation, but head bobbing to a weird time signature validation is a huge step for me 😄

How does Tigran always find new ways to make things that sound totally like him?
This was incredible, I'm stoked for the album
i still thinking about that. but yeah, his ability on composing odd time signature songs, is unbeatable!
are you a fan of gojira? :D
Animals as Leaders
he admitted he got quite inspired by meshuggah also ;)

This is the level of music I always dreamed someone would create. So original with total groove
3:43 me listening to Tigran's music.
hahahahahhahahahahhahaha same :)
Hakan Bky also 4:03 😁 Tigran takes us to places where we cannot reach while listening to something else.
Definitely me too, I erratically headbang and pretend I know where beat one is for a few weeks (read: months) before kinda figuring it out.
@@UkuleleAversion Yeah, that's me too. It's kinda weird though, I noticed the first few times you listen to a new tune of him you almost instinctively feel where the beat is. At least roughly.
