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!
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.
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
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!
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!
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.
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
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
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
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!

He went full Tigran on this one.
TIGRAN ON FULL ATTACK
in a couple of years tigran will be analyzed in music schools like Debussy or Beethoven

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

Astounding. Seriously, I believe Tigran is the only human being on the planet who could pull something like this off.
7:14 How is everything he plays so killing and perfect... The tension and release of the line is just so natural

how could anyone 'dislike' this performance..?

I love that he has a microphone for this.
i love this cat! Really great! Greetings Tigran!
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...

The studio version already kicked my ass regularly. I think i'm just dead now
Tigran Hamasyan is The Genius of music! Out of this Universe!
honestly at this point what surprised me the most is Tigran using sheet music on his performance :D
My favorite thing ever is the theme starting at 13:21
Criminally underheard

really loveleee and as truthful as it gets watereeee
tigran is just so sick with it man what the hell
At the end I just clapped. At home.
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.
Curious how many drummers eBay’d their gear after this concert.
Wowww
mesmerisingly good
15:25 beatboxing on Ravel's Prélude à la nuit
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
I wish I was there.
amazing!!
17:28.....so progressive metal..
I can only think of Keith Jarrett as someone else who is this level of an improvisor
Awesome! Keep it up!
No. 1 Djazz guy

The melody at 3:06 kills me
I thought nobody is "louder" than Keith when playing
13:40 Just incredible
………. …. ………. ….. …………. ….wow
So good at 3:22

I enjoyed your video :)
5 dislikes? what are they deaf and blind???!
OMG
"Odyssey" has never been so apt.
This is very beautiful and interesting. I wonder if he studied Konnakol...
15:40 he’s the Busta Rhymes of Jazz
Holy shit this is good
Brilliant Beauty

5:28 "You have no idea what I'm capable of..."
Amazing human been
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
I mean we gotta love internet sometimes
I'm waiting for a duet with Jojo Mayer! That would be something else.
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.
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!
