Tigran Hamasyan – The Call Within (2020) [FLAC 24bit/48kHz] Tigran Hamasyan – The Call Within (2020) FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 47:45 minutes | 566 MB | Genre: Jazz Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Digital Booklet, Front Cover | © Nonesuch. Nonesuch Records releases its fourth recording from pianist and composer Tigran Hamasyan, The Call Within, on August 28, 2020. The album comprises ten original compositions and features Evan Marien on electric bass and Arthur Hnatek on drums, along with special guests Tosin Abasi on the Armenian prog tune “Vortէx” and Areni Agbabian and Artyom Manukyan on “Our Film.” Produced by Hamasyan, The Call Within is a journey into the artist’s dreamlike inner world, which is as realistic to him as his physical one. Hamasyan, who believes that the “moment of unconscious creation is the way to feel conscious,” says: “Unutterable seconds of longing, subliminal realization, and mostly joy fill the body as a work of art, a poem, or a melody is being born into this world for no apparent reason, but only for the humanity to discover what is invisible: the divine mystery.” The album takes inspiration from Hamasyan’s interest in maps from different eras, along with poetry, Christian and pre-Christian Armenian folk stories and legends, astrology, geometry, ancient Armenian design, rock carvings, and cinematography—blurring lines between historic reality and the imaginary world. Hamasyan began playing piano at the age of three and started performing in festivals and competitions when he was eleven, winning the Montreux Jazz Festival’s piano competition in 2003. He released his debut album, World Passion, in 2005 at the age of seventeen. The following year, he won the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition. Additional albums include New Era; Red Hail; A Fable, for which he was awarded a Victoires de la Musique (the equivalent of a Grammy Award in France); Shadow Theater; and Luys i Luso. His Nonesuch debut, Mockroot (2015), won the Echo Jazz Award for International Piano Instrumentalist of the Year; subsequent records for the label include An Ancient Observer (2017) and the companion EP, For Gymuri (2018). In addition to awards and critical praise, Hamasyan has built a dedicated international following, as well as praise from Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Brad Mehldau. The Call Within is pianist Tigran Hamasyan’s fourth Nonesuch long-player, the follow-up to 2017’s acclaimed solo outing An Ancient Observer. Performed with electric bassist Evan Marien and drummer Arthur Hnatek, the set’s title conjures images of introspection, but that’s a wide-ranging notion in the pianist’s psychogeography. For him, this is a journey into his dreamlike inner world, where lifelong interests in maps from different eras, poetry, Armenian folk stories, astrology, geometry, ancient Armenian design, rock carvings, and cinematography all share inner terrain in an astonishing exploration of sound and composition. Unlike its predecessor, The Call Within is far from gentle meditations, though it too is profoundly spiritual. Hamasyan calls this music “electro-acoustic Armenian rock,” and he’s not far off, but he’s as subject to its diverse musical forces as the listener. Opener “Levitation 21” commences with a gently repetitive chord pattern adorned by triple-time drumming and pulsing bass. The pianist counters with a knotty, syncopated head, and sings in droning wordless tones while sprinting across the upper register. “Our Film” features guest vocalist Areni Agbabian and cellist Artyum Manukyan (both longtime collaborators). It resembles an opening-credits theme, moving through episodic themes and motifs. Hamasyan grafts on loops, synths, and electronic drums, coloring the proceeding with warmth and humor for all the pyrotechnics. “Ara Resurrected” is its mirror image. Commencing with rolling synths and rim shots, Hamasyan then stridently engages progressive jazz with his grand piano in scalar improvisation in a dazzling sprint with the rhythm section. “Space of Your Existence” careens across time signatures and chromatic extensions as post-bop collides with prog. Hnatek signals each sea change with furious rim shots and clattering breaks. “Old Maps” is dreamlike thanks to the Varduhi Art School Children’s Choir. The simple arrangement of this folksy composition is rendered transcendent by their presence. “Vortex” features guitar hero Tosin Abasi (Animals as Leaders) in a commanding fusion of djent-like prog metal to syncopated yet interlocking grooves that recalls U.K. with Allan Holdsworth. “37 Newlyweds” is as a tenderly conceived processional that draws on Armenian sacred music with moody, minor-key lyricism and modal interrogations. Hamasyan’s chanted, multi-tracked vocals suggest the influence of Komitas, adorned by shimmering synths and delicate piano loops, and underscored unintrusively by the bassist and drummer. “New Maps” closes with staggered rhythms, cascading electronics, and resonant piano. The latter instrument riffs on the chord changes, adding dimension to the already incendiary dynamic. Hamasyan has made a record for the ages with The Call Within. It registers among his most musically sophisticated and expansive yet never forsakes listenability. Herbie Hancock once stated that Hamasyan was now his teacher. Evidenced by what is on display here, he wasn’t engaging in hyperbole. – Thom Jurek. Tracklist: 1. Levitation 21 (05:05) 2. Our Film (feat. Areni Aghbabian & Artyom Manukyan) (05:13) 3.

We have been hearing about the young prodigy for a long time… Tigran has grown up and is now an experienced and influential artiste on the international jazz scene. After captivating musicians like Chick Corea, Avishai Cohen and Jeff Ballard with his energy and originality, Tigran has managed to conquer a new audience, bringing jazz to a new generation. At the crossover of rock, Armenian folk, metal and jazz, the 26 year old pianist proves that he has everything it takes for greatness. “He plays piano like a raga, the next Keith Jarrett”. -Trilok Gurtu “Tigran really grabbed me, because it’s got several things going on at once. It has a really wild odd-meter thing, and this distorted, aggressive piano treatment. And the harmony is kind of jazz-fusiony.’ -Brad Mehldau “A..may..zing! Now, Tigran, you are my teacher!” -Herbie Hancock. Pianist Tigran Hamasyan’s Shadow Theater is an innovative convergence of composition and folk music from his birthplace in Armenia. Having performed since the age of three, gained acclaimed in Europe and won first place at the 2006 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Piano Competition, there’s never been a question of his abilities. He shines in a traditional jazz trio setting in 2007’s New Era (Plus Loin Music) with brothers Francois Moutin (bass) and Louis Moutin (drums) or showcasing virtuoso exploits in his 2011 solo release Fable (Verve). With musicians that include members of the jazz-rock band Kneebody (drummer Nate Wood and saxophonist Ben Wendel) and others, Hamasyan’s distinctive musicality blends jazz, European classical music and an array of influences like progressive-rock and DJ mixing. Yet the common thread is the inventive way the music balances ethnicity with a modernist verve. This propels “Erishta” via traditional melodies interlaced with electronics and beautiful vocals by talented folklorist Areni Agbabian as well as the peculiar “Drip” which mixes Armenian folk music, sampling, and groovy jazz saxophone. The program is sprinkled with an assortment of hymns, ballads, and moving pieces such as “Lament” which juxtaposes powerful strings and tender vocals and the transcendent “Pagan Lullaby” highlighting Hamasyan on keyboard, piano, and voice. “The Court Jester” and “Road Song” are unwavering examples of writing and improvisation with their vigorous changes and odd time signatures, but equally engaging through catching melodies and Hamasyan’s intrepid sense of imagination in one of the year’s more memorable recordings. -Mark F.

Repertoire includes Armenian hymns, sharakans and cantos from the 5th to the 20th century, all newly arranged for voices and improvising pianist by Hamasyan himself. The album was recorded in Yerevan last October, and produced by Manfred Eicher. Tigran Hamasayan has long been deeply interested in Armenian sacred music, increasingly drawn to its “incredibly beautiful melodies… Over the years the idea to do an entire album with Armenian sacred music had been building and growing in my mind. About two and a half years ago I began to work on the first arrangements.” Ideas about repertoire have evolved along the way. “At one point I thought about doing an album devoted to Mesrop Mashtots, the 5th century saint, composer and linguist. But the working process led me to think more broadly about it, and I decided that the album should be of mixed repertoire.

  • 22Nd Istanbul Jazz Festival Programme
    22nd Istanbul Jazz Festival Programme The Festival Hosts Young Jazz Prodigy Tigran Hamasyan in Two Projects Tuesday, 30 June, 21:00, Hagia Eirene Museum Wednesday, 1 July, 19:00, Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall Young musical prodigy Tigran Hamasyan, born in Armenia in 1987, will be at the festival with two special concerts. Hamasyan started the piano when he was three and won the piano competitions of both the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Thelonious Monk Institiute when he was 18, the same age when he released his debut album World Passion. Then in 2011, he won the Victoires de la Musique, which is considered to be the French Grammy’s, with his album A Fable. The Guardian describes him as, “a multi-stylistic jazz virtuoso and a groove-powered hitmaker simultaneously.” Herbie Hancock has already told him, “You are my teacher now!” and Hancock is not alone in his admiration of the young musician, but rather joined by others like Brad Mehldau and Chick Corea. On Tuesday, 30 June, Tigran Hamasyan will render traditional Armenian music at the Hagia Eirene Museum, where he will be joined by the Yerevan State Chamber Music Choir, directed by Harutyun Topikyan, for his chamber choir project Luys i Luso. This project will be performed at a hundred different churches around the world and its album will be released under the title of ECM in September. Hamasyan will meet jazz-lovers a second time the next evening and this time it will be for a lilting and melodic concert with his trio at the Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall.

  • Asymmetrical Meter, Ostinati, and Cycles in the Music of Tigran Hamasyan
    Asymmetrical Meter, Ostinati, and Cycles in the Music of Tigran Hamasyan Sco C. Schumann NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.2/mto.21.27.2.schumann.php KEYWORDS: Tigran Hamasyan, meter, rhythm, cycles, ostinati, popular music, jazz ABSTRACT: Tigran Hamasyan (b. 1987) is an Armenian jazz pianist and composer whose music has been described as “grounded in serious reinterpretations of Armenian culture via his take on Bach, French romantics, jazz, dubstep, metal, and modern electronic music” (2018, 637). Hamasyan has recorded thirteen studio albums between the years of 2006–2020, and analyzing these recordings suggests that asymmetrical meter, ostinati, and cycles are not a random occurrence in Hamasyan’s music but rather a crucial component of his compositional language. This article defines three types of cycles—phrasal, structural, and developmental—each of which has a unique compositional function. Another important distinction made in this article is the difference between “complete” and “incomplete” cycles. Complete cycles are those that repeat two metrical layers without disruption until they return to a shared point of alignment, while incomplete cycles are those in which the meter used in one or more of the layers is disrupted before returning to a shared point of alignment. Several of my own transcriptions of Hamasyan’s music are analyzed to discuss how asymmetrical meter, ostinati, and cycles are used to create various formal processes in Hamasyan’s compositions. DOI: 10.30535/mto.27.2.5 Received December 2020 Volume 27, Number 2, June 2021 Copyright © 2021 Society for Music Theory Introduction [1.1] Born on July 17, 1987 in Gyumri, Armenia, Tigran Hamasyan has gained international renown primarily as a jazz pianist and composer.

    Jazz & beyond / iPhil Mercredi / Mittwoch / Wednesday 09.10.2013 20:00 Grand Auditorium «Shadow Theater» Tigran piano, vocals Areni vocals Sam Minaie double bass Charles Altura guitar Arthur Hnatek drums ~85’ sans entracte / ohne Pause Ombres et lumières Tigran: Shadow Theater Philippe Gonin «Je n’aime pas mettre ma musique dans une boîte…» Et, de fait, Tigran Hamasyan est à proprement parler inclassable. Impressionnant des pointures tel Chick Corea alors qu’il a à peine une douzaine d’annnées, adoubé par Stéphane Kochoyan qui le présente à la communauté jazz du monde entier, Tigran Hamasyan est ce que l’on appelle un prodige. Nourri au jazz par son oncle, initié au rock par son père – il a transcrit «Stairway to Heaven» de ses idoles Led Zeppelin au piano –, pétri des musiques et légendes de sa terre natale, il est un musicien d’une grande sensibilité, au toucher tour à tour cristallin ou empli de cette énergie qui, avoue-t-il, l’a toujours fasciné dans le rock. Il n’a pas vingt ans lorsque paraît son premier album: «World Passion» (2006). Le quartet, alors composé de Ben Wendel (saxophone), François Moutin (contrebasse) et Ari Hoenig (batterie) voit déjà se joindre à lui Rouben Harutyunyan au duduk (flûte à bec à huit trous, sept devant et un sur l’arrière) et à la zurna (flûte à anche double se terminant par une perce conique). Cette imprégnation, cette fusion entre une musique devenue savante (le jazz) et une expression traditionnelle (la musique arménienne) devient l’une des marques de fabrique de sa musique.

  • Tigran Hamasyan
    Phil Stöckli - CD reviews for Jazz'n more Tigran Hamasyan 3 / 2018 Tigran Hamasyan "For Gyumri" Tigran Hamasyan (p, voc) Nonesuch / Warner 5 stars Hamasyan hat ein neues, kleines Meisterwerk geschaffen: "For Gyumri" ist ein Epilog zum 2017 erschienen Vorgängeralbum "An Ancient Observer". Beim fünf Songs und nur 29 Minuten umfassenden Album handelt es sich nicht um ein Jazzalbum im engeren Sinn. Aber wer Hamasyan kennt, weiss bereits, dass sich der Armenische Pianist je länger je mehr der (Armenischen) Volksmusik verschrieben fühlt, und diese mit Elementen aus Jazz, Elektronika, Minimal Music, Zwölfton-Musik oder Rock ergänzt. Die neueste CD ist seinem Geburtsort, der Armenischen Stadt Gyumri, gewidmet. Dort wurde er 1987 geboren, bevor er 2003 nach Kalifornien auswanderte. "Aragatz" ist der höchste Berg in Armenien und der Name des lokalen Fussballclubs - ein sanfter Moll-Waltzer mit vokalisierter Melodie im Hintergrund. Wie er die Intensität des Songs steigert, leicht atonale Motive einstreut und dann auf dem Höhepunkt die aufsteigenden Glissando in fallende und schnell verklingende Glitzereffekte verwandelt, ist phänomenal. Hamasyan atmet durch die Musik und diese atmet durch ihn. Selten hört man einen Musiker, der eine solchen Tiefgang erzeugen und eine derart natürliche Verbindung zur Musik herstellen kann. Da hilft ihm auch sein nuancierter Anschlag, der in Jazzgefilden nach Vergleichbarem sucht. Auf der Ballade "Ray of Light" bringt er das Piano mithilfe elektronischer Effekte zum Flimmern, und vermittelt dadurch denselben Eindruck, wie wenn man einen alten, verstaubten Film aus der Kiste holt und in eine vergessen geglaubte Welt eintaucht. "The American" beginnt als unschuldige Ballade, die sich in eine wirbelnde Melodie im 6/4 verwandelt.

  • Tigran Hamasyan ‘For Gyumri’ Solo Concert to Benefit Children of Armenia Fund
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAP UCLA Presents Pianist and Composer Tigran Hamasyan ‘For Gyumri’ Solo Concert to Benefit Children of Armenia Fund October 14 at Royce Hall “With startling combinations of jazz, minimalist, electronic, folk and songwriterly elements … Hamasyan travels musical expanses marked with heavy grooves, ethereal voices, pristine piano playing and ancient melodies. You’ll hear nothing else like this.” —NPR Music UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance (CAP UCLA) announces the return of pianist and composer Tigran Hamasyan in a solo performance featuring works from his latest album, For Gyumri, to benefit the Children of Armenia Fund on Sunday, Oct. 14 at 5 p.m. at Royce Hall. Tickets for $29–$59 are available now at cap.ucla.edu, 310-825- 2101, Ticketmaster and the UCLA Central Ticket Office. Considered one of the most remarkable and distinctive jazz-meets-rock pianists of his generation, Hamasyan fuses potent jazz improvisation with the rich folkloric music of his native Armenia. A companion to last year’s An Ancient Observer, For Gyumri (February 2018, Nonesuch) is dedicated to his hometown of Gyumri, Armenia, where he was born in 1987 before relocating with his family to Los Angeles in 2003. He currently resides in Erevan, Armenia. Hamasyan describes the songs as “musical observations about the world we live in now, and the weight of history we carry with us.” All About Jazz hailed For Gyumri as “a loving tribute to his home city” and The Guardian raved, “he’s the hottest pianist in jazz, and he likes to mix things up, whether it’s bebop, thrash metal or dubstep.

    Música do Passado para o Presente Quando falamos de Música Clássica temos tendência para pensar na música escrita há muito tempo por compositores que viviam em contextos sociais diferentes daqueles em que hoje vivemos. Os compositores mais populares são aqueles que escreveram as suas obras há 200 ou 300 anos. Este é também o período do qual provêm os instrumentos que usamos hoje em dia. A Orquestra Sinfónica é, ao mesmo tempo, a guardiã e a renovadora desta herança. Para que a herança continue a ser relevante para os ouvintes dos nossos dias, precisa de ser continuamente reinterpretada. Precisa de ter a mesma urgência de comunicar connosco no presente. A nossa ambição, na Gulbenkian Música, é a de apresentar música que, em simultâneo, tem a capacidade de se inspirar no passado e de falar para o presente. Coro e Orquestra Gulbenkian O Coro Gulbenkian tem um motivo especial para celebrar nesta temporada. Michel Corboz, o seu maestro titular, completará 50 anos desde a sua primeira apresentação à frente deste agrupamento. Para marcar este jubileu, o coro apresentará dois ciclos completos da Oratória de Natal de J. S. Bach no mês de dezembro, o mesmo mês em que Corboz iniciou as suas funções em 1969. Antes da Páscoa, interpretará também a Paixão segundo São João de Bach. mecenas principal gulbenkian música A Orquestra Gulbenkian inicia a sua segunda temporada com Lorenzo Viotti.

Sendo um apaixonado pela ópera, apresenta nesta temporada outra produção encenada, Evgeni Onegin de Tchaikovsky.
