This music is basically jazz fusion meets Meshuggah meets Armenian folk music. This music gives me chills just like the first time I ever listened to System of a Down back in 2005.
We are witnessing history being made. A hundred years from now he will be remembered as one of the greats of the century, as we remember Coltrane, Miles and others.
I wholeheartedly believe that so far, Tigran is the most important musician of the 21st century. I’m sure his music will live on much beyond our lifetimes.
With complete sincerity I agree. And I think he is totally in his prime. Just the solo on Dream Voyager here (and of course all the other tracks) speaks to a total maturity and control over artistic vision.
What’s your metric for most important? Genuinely curious. Surely there would need to be an element of impact, acclaim, reach, cultural relevance.. This seems pretty niche to me
@@Weefatgoblin For important musicians and composers - which in the case of Tigran Hamasyan I regard as synonymous - this impact, acclaim, reach, and cultural relevance, has historically often only emerged long after the musician's death. Almost all of the great western classical composers we know of today for example, were at their time not nearly as popular or respected as they are today - many of them dying poor and often forgotten about for several years to follow until they were rediscovered at a way later time. Being a composer myself, it means little to nothing if a musician or composer is not yet well-known or not as popular and widespread among people as some world famous stars as an indicator for how important they are for music. What's important for music is driving change and development, creating the means to opening the minds of people (this generally takes a long time), and especially discovering or affirming possibilities and ideas in music that have not yet been established or widespread. And I think there are many elements like this in Tigran Hamsyan's Music. The combination of traditional Armenian music and Jazz for example, the rhythmic complexities and many more things are extremely interesting to me, both because I personally enjoy it as a listener, but also because it's very refreshing and inspirational to hear as a composer. - I don't feel any of this for most of the current popular music. Though I would maybe not agree with the exact wording of the original comment, that he is "the" most important musician, as that is a pretty definitive and difficult claim to make, I would most definitely agree that he is "one of the" most important musicians of the 21st century - that is a safe bet.
SPOILER ALERT😀!!! DON'T JUMP TO TIME CODE!!! I have heard a lot of different jazz-folk music from around a world, and know about Tigran as great musician and surely because I'm Armenian (hope others, from around the world, will discover him, despite where are they from), yet have never heard his music (It's never too late to correct mistakes😅), Nice calming vibes at the beginning right until 3:51, and then goosebumps over goosebumps, then at 5:35 more goosebumps over goosebumps, I'd say attack of the goosebumps😁, and that was just a beginning. Thanks a lot, @Audiotree.
The album "The Call Within" was all recorded with this trio and some featured guests. Absolutely phenomenal album, fantastic production too. Levitation 21 and The Dream Voyager are from that album
Incredible. The performance itself by Tigran, Evan & Arthur, but also the visuals and the sound quality. Whoever mic'd the piano and those drums - especially the cymbals - deserves a raise! Beautiful work!
I saw this written in another video about TH: we truly don’t know how lucky we are to be living in a world, in a time, in a moment when we can experience this.
Masterful playing by Tigran (as always), superb backing by the band, and stunning production by Audiotree I’ve been listening to Tigran for a few years and have been so incredibly impressed with his playing, writing, and musicianship.. truly innovative and inspirational! This set is top of the list though.. I’ll be listening to this over and over for years
This is quite literally some of the best mixing I have ever heard in general, and let alone for this entire set. I've heard the live versions of these songs many times but never like this. Audio mixers and engineers, you guys are absolutely amazing!
We need Art now more than ever to guide us through change. We have the responsibility, as artists, yes. And the honour. Thank you TIgran for sharing this.
Absolutely astounding musician. Tigran comprehends music at a deeper level than most humans can even fathom, especially when it comes to rhythm and melody.
"Areg and Manushak" is arguably the most emotional piece of music I've heard this year. I look forward to experience the new album live sooner than later!
I've hosted him as a young lighting designer in Ardèche, France, in 2006 or 2007, I don't remember that much. What I remember: he was very young, and very (very) talented yet. We both are "less young".😅

Tigran is becoming one of the all time greats, in all of music. He is truly extraordinary.

That's cute but have you heard of Taylor Swift?? There's a reason MILLIONS connect with her MUSIC!!!
thought for a couple minutes he would perform Levitation 21 alone and was hyped. Then the band came in and I came
You came? 🫣
What an honor to have hosted this. Thank you to Tigran and his amazing band for their art.
Absolutely insane musicianship.
The Bird of a Thousand Voices was my favorite album of 2024, and I'm so happy I stumbled upon Tigran's music.
Saw the drummer live once with Erik Truffaz and that guy is crazy. He is so good he had us laughing at multiple moments in the show

Bassist LOCKED IN - love to see it.
@@DasKotaBear Evan Marien is a beast!
@@nunolance23 absolutely! I saw them live....almost like a religious experience.
My god, I've never heard this band before, but less than 10 minutes in and I need a towel... and more of this band 😂
Evan, the bassist, has a ton of great music.
The album "The Call Within" was all recorded with this trio and some featured guests. Absolutely phenomenal album, fantastic production too. Levitation 21 and The Dream Voyager are from that album
This version of Entertain Me is brilliant and deserve to be released
YES! But...I say that under every version of Entertain me.
It's Magical, It's Historical. Thanks Audiotree, Tigran, Arthur and Evan.

@@MirkoFustinoni have you listen to mockroot? Had me weep at 2am on a random Tuesday. Beautiful
@benjaminpikoikj7090 Of course, it's one of my favorite records ever!
I said "this year" meaning that it came out in 2024 😁
Tigran for life.
One of my heros of modern music right now.
I enjoyed every single moment ❤ what an energy, what a music 😊

maderchot is cute and this has 20k views ... dayum ... go go go Audiotree cuties !!!
I am a fan of Armen Chakmakyan. Tigran is not bad but leans more towards experimental\fusion.
