About Tigran Hamasyan

Tigran Hamasyan is a pianist, composer, and keyboardist from Armenia. His compositions are deeply influenced by the scales and modes used in the Armenian folk tradition. Hamasyan is also influenced by jazz and progressive rock. 2011's A Fable for Verve, strongly reflects Armenian folk music. 2013's Shadow Theater melds jazz and progressive pop with folk. 2015's Mockroot offered new compositions in a similar musical setting. That year he also released Luys i Luso, commemorating the centenary of the Armenian genocide. Two years later, An Ancient Observer folded Armenian folk and sacred sources into jazz, prog rock, and electronica. He scored the 2019 film They Say Nothing Stays the Same. 2020's The Call Within drew inspiration from contemporary and historical maps, poetry, Armenian culture, and geometry. He released the loud, angular standards album StandArt in 2022, while 2024's The Bird of a Thousand Voices marked the musical realization of an early 20th century story by Gayane Grigor Gaboyan.
