Tigran Hamasyan - Manifeste, 2x Vinyl LP

Born in Gyumri in Amernia and long resident on the fault line between jazz virtuosity and progressive ferocity, Tigran Hamasyan extends his restless trajectory with this offering, following 2024's The Bird Of A Thousand Voices. 'Prelude For All Seekers' erupts with knotted metre and percussive piano clusters, drums striking with near-metallic force. 'Manifeste' widens into modal sweep, choral textures rising over dense harmonic architecture. 'Dardahan' drives with elastic bass and serrated rhythmic turns, while 'A Eye (Digital Leviathan)' pairs searing guitar with labyrinthine time signatures. In contrast, 'National Repentance Anthem' unfolds in stark choral cadences that bloom into austere grandeur. Hamasyan's pianism remains volcanic and technically unyielding.
