Fantastic !
I discovered Tigran live many years ago (in Arles in 2012) and saw him play 3 times since. (I even have a friend who plays with him now, YessaĆÆ Karapetian, you should listen to his stuff too ^^). Every show has been a blast.
Great musician, inspiring to say the least.
Great code, great video, great share, thanks !

Yeah, I never heard of them before. Pretty amazing stuff, reminiscent of Mahavishnu Orchestra.
