The folk tale requires a multi-layered, transdisciplinary approach to provide an artistic context for this fascinating story. The mystical bird of a thousand voices is a beautiful metaphor of our times: a world in search of connection and harmony, faced with ecological, psychological and spiritual crises.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, any form of recognition and new means of transmitting this beautiful music of the ancient traditions of the Caucasus is important and sets the tone for world curiosity and diversity. This ‘The Bird of a Thousand Voices’ album is part of that context.\u003cbr\u003e Tigran is one of the most remarkable jazz pianists and composers of his generation. He combines improvisation with the rich traditional music of his native Armenia. Ten\u003cbr\u003eyears ago, he and award-winning filmmaker Ruben Van Leer met during a collaboration at the Cité de la Musique in Paris, creating ‘Shadow Theater’, a visual musical experience. They went on to create several music videos together.\u003cbr\u003e Lavish 2CD \/ 2LP with three booklets (80 pages in total).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr\u003eThe Kingdom\u003cbr\u003eThe Curse (Blood Of An Innocent Is Spilled)\u003cbr\u003eThe Bird Of A Thousand Voices\u003cbr\u003eAreg’s Calling (Towards The World Above)\u003cbr\u003eThe Quest Begins\u003cbr\u003eThe Path Of No Return\u003cbr\u003eAreg And Manushak (He Saw Her Reflection In The Water)\u003cbr\u003eThe Saviour Is Condemned\u003cbr\u003eGuidance (Areg Meets Zaman)\u003cbr\u003eFlaming Horse And The Thunderbolt Sword (From The Depth Of The Sea)\u003cbr\u003eRed, White And Black Worlds\u003cbr\u003eBells Of Memory\u003cbr\u003eOnly The One Who Brought The Bird Can Make It Sing\u003cbr\u003eProphecy Of A Sacrifice\u003cbr\u003eThe Demon Of Akn Anatak\u003cbr\u003eTemptations (Follow The Luminous Feather)\u003cbr\u003eForty Days In The Realm Of Bottomless Eye (He Brings Light Into The Soil Of Evil)\u003cbr\u003eHe Refuses To Be Immortal (The Goddess Of Paradise Gives Him The Enchanting Bird)\u003cbr\u003eThe Return (Through Vast Deserts, Seas and Dark Mountains)\u003cbr\u003eBetrayed By Brothers\u003cbr\u003eThe Well Of Death And Resurrection\u003cbr\u003eSing Me A Song When You Wil Be  At The Place Where All Is Bliss\u003cbr\u003eThe Eternal Birds Sings And The  Garden Blooms Again\u003cbr\u003ePostlude: After Seven Winters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Believe Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44312011112604,"sku":"BLV8490","price":62.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/0_f3008886-bc23-4210-a669-ce663d70e19a.jpg?v=1723015962","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/tigran-hamasyan-the-bird-of-a-thousand-voices-2lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
