<p>Tigran Hamasyan is an Armenian jazz pianist, born on 17 July 1987. With his unique blend of traditional Armenian folk music and contemporary jazz influences, he has captivated audiences around the world. His virtuosic piano playing and innovative compositions have earned him critical acclaim and numerous awards. Tigran's music is a fusion of Eastern and Western traditions, creating a truly distinctive sound that pushes the boundaries of jazz. Whether performing solo or with his band, he continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in modern jazz.</p>

Produced by Hamasyan, <i>The Call Within</i> 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." The album takes inspiration from Hamasyan's interest in maps from different eras, along with poetry, Christian and pre-Christian Armenian folk stories and legends, astrology, geometry, ancient Armenian design, rock carvings, and cinematography--blurring lines between historic reality and the imaginary world.
