    Even when Tigran plays mistakes, it's sweet. The unintentional E natural at 2:26 resolves smoothly to F, the voice leading is perfectly fine, and if you listen attentively to the voice containing that E you will end up thinking he could really have chose this one as the repeating pattern, it's so sweet !

So it's not only Jacob Collier who needs to thank you. We are all grateful and wish you a brilliant career. (I wonder if Jacob has met Tigran Hamasyan?)

    Great job love his phrasing they are rythemic complicated the metric modulation the odd groupings the feeling of polyrhythms all play a huge part in his playing . He thinks so much like a drummer. Grest job transcribing all this . When someone really stretches themselves past the average playing it really opens up some amazing playing .

    Awesome job! Personally I would have probably made the bar lines match the 6+6+4 clave for the whole first chunk, or put the bar lines every 16 eighth notes and then have dotted bar lines after the 6th and 12th eighth notes of each 16, since having a bar line interrupt the second group of 6/16 doesn't really match the music and it's very clear he's thinking in this clave. You do switch to this kind of approach at 8:27 (GG / bar 297) in fact. But either way, congrats on a fantastic piece of work!

    Can anyone explain how the metric modulation at 8:11 works? I just don't get it. The relationship between the dotted quarters to half notes (3 to 4) is not equivalent to the relationship between the dotted quarters tied with quarter notes to the dotted half note (5 to 6). Why does it still work? I really don't understand.

      @Dathomsta 7 років тому +4

      It's not true metric modulation, just the meter of multiple bars has changed from 16 to 26. If you wanted true metric modulation you'd swap the 6/8 bar for a 15/16.
      It still works just due to how it's played. There's no technical right or wrong. Tigran has likely decided he doesn't want to deal with such a small subdivision. Also probably feels more interesting tipping people off balance with a just 'out' metric modulation.

    • @LukeZuniga
      @LukeZuniga 7 років тому +1

      The dotted quarter in 4/4 now becomes a full bar of 5/8--thats why you can tell that the piano at 8:11 is slower than normal. It's not necessarily modulation as much as it is a feel change; But the only reason it sounds similar is because the 3+3+3+3+4 subdivision is proportional to 5+5+5+5+6.

    @austinkinard8982 5 років тому +1

    I’m curious why in sections like 0:28 you chose to write in four when the groove feels more like two measure of 3/4 and a measure of 2/4. It’s all the same number of beats, and you surely are very accurate in all of your transcriptions. I’m just curious if this was a conscious decision or if you are hearing this groove differently than I am. Without any clearly defined backbeat from a rhythm section it is surely up to interpretation. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this. Keep up the great work!
