in a couple of years tigran will be analyzed in music schools like Debussy or Beethoven
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.
He went full Tigran on this one.
TIGRAN ON FULL ATTACK
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!
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
The studio version already kicked my ass regularly. I think i'm just dead now
Astounding. Seriously, I believe Tigran is the only human being on the planet who could pull something like this off.
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.
7:14 How is everything he plays so killing and perfect... The tension and release of the line is just so natural
I love that he has a microphone for this.
At the end I just clapped. At home.
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!
14:32
he actually pulled it off, the madman
Criminally underheard
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
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
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...
how could anyone 'dislike' this performance..?
My favorite thing ever is the theme starting at 13:21
All my love to you Tigran.your music is incredible☀️🌟🌙
Curious how many drummers eBay’d their gear after this concert.
Brilliant as always Tigren😊
20:06 such an elegant ending to a masterpiece
What a chance to enter into his infinite musical cosmos.
This guy , every time ... I even checked if it was on oiginal speed cause it's sounds out of this world.. but who said he's from this planet anyway..
This guy is absolutelly amazing. great respect and love for his work
Qué GRANDE!!! Cuánta música tiene en sus venas!!!
Jazz freedom!. Excellent!.

I no longer believe Tigran Hamasyan in from our Universe he just proved the parallel universe theory to me

Tigran Hamasyan is The Genius of music! Out of this Universe!
Fantastic! Great! Much! Impressive!
We stay wanting more
I love this guys work!
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
17:28.....so progressive metal..
J'aime vraiment le toucher de Tigran. En piano solo il est formidable dans ces différents modes. Un vrai régal !
this guy is unbelievable you guys
Masterpiece
I wish I was there.
Bravo Tigran! Very cool. that you do!
5 dislikes? what are they deaf and blind???!
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.
No. 1 Djazz guy
This is amazing!!! My inspiration !!!
really loveleee and as truthful as it gets watereeee
Wowww
Браво !!!!
amazing!!
mesmerisingly good
honestly at this point what surprised me the most is Tigran using sheet music on his performance :D
un sueño hecho realidad
I thought nobody is "louder" than Keith when playing
The melody at 3:06 kills me
So good at 3:22
Awesome! Keep it up!
I mean we gotta love internet sometimes
OMG
Brilliant Beauty
I can only think of Keith Jarrett as someone else who is this level of an improvisor
Holy shit this is good
13:40 Just incredible
………. …. ………. ….. …………. ….wow
I enjoyed your video :)
I'm waiting for a duet with Jojo Mayer! That would be something else.
Dude I need that mic
"Odyssey" has never been so apt.
15:40 he’s the Busta Rhymes of Jazz
This is very beautiful and interesting. I wonder if he studied Konnakol...
heard scriabin in intro
Amazing human been

6:35
13:40
5:28 "You have no idea what I'm capable of..."
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
8:16
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!
What in the Tigran
I get it.....
it's The Doctor! What is he doing in our planet? I thought bow ties were cool.
sweet spot starts in 13:00
