the Awakening Orchestra New York, New York

Encompassing broad swaths of musical style in both original and recontextualized and re-imagined compositions, the Awakening Orchestra delves deep into traditions from classical to jazz to indie rock. ... more

The Call Within
by Tigran Hamasyan

supported by 7 fans who also own “volume i: this is not the answer.”

Tigran created a graceful album that feels like the story of the universe is unfolding in front of you. Equally gripping and carefree, it's a solid and fulfilling experience. Pacing's pretty neat, plus the way musicians play brings another layer of stylish personality and class. Compositions are astoundingly beautiful and can be super catchy or quite melancholic, showing how much of a pristine vibe the range of emotions on this project is. Those strong melodies regularly come back in my mind. SUPRAQUENCER
