Our Take
Our Take
Tigran Hamasyan's "The Call Within" is like a musical kaleidoscope, taking listeners on a wild, unpredictable journey through a sonic wonderland. This Armenian pianist and composer has crafted an album that defies categorization, blending elements of jazz, classical, folk, and electronic music into a mesmerising tapestry of sound.
From the opening track, "Levitation 21," it's clear that Hamasyan is not content to simply follow in the footsteps of his musical predecessors. Instead, he boldly forges his own path, melding intricate piano melodies with pulsating electronic beats and ethereal vocal loops. The result is a truly unique listening experience that is as thrilling as it is rewarding.
Tracks like "Our Film" and "At the Edge of the World" showcase Hamasyan's virtuosic piano skills, as he effortlessly navigates complex rhythmic patterns and harmonies with precision and grace. Meanwhile, songs like "Vortex" and "Nebula" revel in their experimentalism, pushing the boundaries of what is possible within the confines of a single composition.
Overall, "The Call Within" is a triumph of artistic vision and technical skill, a testament to Hamasyan's boundless creativity and passion for music. It's a challenging listen, to be sure, but one that is ultimately deeply rewarding for those willing to dive in and explore its many intricacies. This is an album that demands to be heard, and one that will surely leave a lasting impression on all who encounter it.
