About

Produced by Hamasyan, 'The Call Within' is a journey into the artist's dreamlike inner world, which is as realistic to him as his physical one. Hamasyan, who believes that the 'moment of unconscious creation is the way to feel conscious', says: 'Unutterable seconds of longing, subliminal realization, and mostly joy fill the body as a work of art, a poem, or a melody is being born into this world for no apparent reason, but only for the humanity to discover what is invisible: the divine mystery'.

December 2020

Hamasyan is a jazz fusion phenomenon...This fourth album for Nonesuch renews Hamasysan’s commitment to his home culture, and densely packed compositions incorporate Armenian modes into fiery, sometimes bewildering, improvisation across 10 tracks...File under F for fantastic, in both senses of the word.

September 2020

Extreme opposites attract; the transcendental and confrontational are organically aligned in Tigran’s world.

December 2020

Much like the heavy metal that always has inspired Tigran Hamasyan’s unique approach to the piano, his latest album pulls no punches. Simultaneously inspired, frantic and deeply reflective, The Call Within stands as an unfolding synthesis of the 33-year-old’s lifetime of eclectic listening and studying.
