I came across this video on YT, sorry, I don't know how to embed the video. I was pretty impressed by the weirdness of this piece. Anybody else familiar with this guy/group?
I think this piece is totally cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-A_BHFZd3w

I think he is on here. He's great.
Check out the album Lines of Oppression by Ari Hoenig. Tigran plays on it. The track Higher to Hayastan is incredible.

Hey, i've only heard his latest 2020 release but if any of you can come up with some songs that you would consider slam dunk jazz-fusion material, please share them here. So far there are two votes YES for Tigran.

Replying pretty late to this but whatever.
I've gotten really into Tigran's music recently and I just can't get enough. Brain-melting music, tbh. He makes complicated time signatures go soo hard xD. I generally like his live stuff better (not to say his studio tracks aren't goddamn amazing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU0g3O06HSQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A6rFjTfXEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7j7bdEPSd0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzFAR6aN20g And just to list some great songs: Kars 1 Double-Faced The Roads That Bring Me Closer To You Lilac (solo piano piece) Entertain Me To Negate The Grid/Out of the Grid The Poet Drip The Court Jester Levitation 21 New Maps

Love the new one.
I really want "Red Hail", but it is super hard to find. Even digitally...unless I want to sell my soul to iTunes...or whatever its called now.

Tigran is a total monster! When I first heard this song and performance, I was more excited for a new artist than I'd been for years!

If it's possible to shred on piano this guy does it. Listening now on youtube. He's very talented. I'm not sure it's fusion though. It sounds more like contemporary jazz(post bop?) to me.

^He definitely fuses jazz with Armenian Folk and other influences from his native background. While it isn't usually jazz+rock, it certainly ends up sounding proggy very often. Check this out:
It cuts in from a crazy, almost unrecognizable rendition of the jazz standard How High the Moon.

A bit surprised to see Tigran included on PA as I consider him a contemporary jazz musician before anything else. Anyhoo whether or not I think he belongs here, I still very much dig the music he makes. He has been a fresh of breath air in the jazz scene.
I think there are quite a few PA members who would enjoy this guy. I do imagine them coming from a jazzier background/pallette though. Mockroot is a great way to start

I had discovered Tigran's music just prior to the release of Mockroot, and was most impressed with his Red Hail album. Always thought there was some kind of Zeuhl side to his music. |

For those of you who like these mid-eastern infuences in their jazz-rock: Dhafer Youssef (Tunisia) Ibrahim Maalouf (Lebanon) >> this dude invented the four-piston trumpet to reflect "arabian" influences in music |

Ditto. Love his music hugely but don't hear much Rock there (although Djent is clearly an influence rhythmically)

I wonder if it's an influence, or if it's convergent evolution between his native music. Or maybe djent bands have Southeastern European/Southwest Asian influence without knowing it? Hm. (Is it a problem that by adding "hm," I can't see this comment as being anything but sarcastic and snide, even though I'm being genuine?)
