Tigran Hamasyan performing "Nairian Odyssey" live at Berklee College of Music. This performance was part of the ninth annual Berklee Middle Eastern Festival produced by the festival founder Christiane Karam, associate professor of voice.
Known for melding jazz, folk, progressive rock, and classical forms, Hamasyan has established himself as one of the most innovative artists of his age. His career has included an impressive number of accolades, including top piano award at the 2013 Montreux Jazz Festival, and the grand prize at the 2006 Thelonious Monk Jazz Piano Competition. In 2015, Hamasyan garnered the Paul Acket Award at the North Sea Jazz Festival and, in 2016, he earned the Echo Jazz Award (the German Grammy) for International Instrumentalist of the Year, Piano, for his album Mockroot. An Ancient Observer is his second solo album for Nonesuch Records, and his eighth overall as a leader.

TIGRAN ON FULL ATTACK

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.

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!

@drakkeur 7 жыл бұрын

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

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

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.

The studio version already kicked my ass regularly. I think i'm just dead now

@matthewdrake605 3 жыл бұрын

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!

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!
