Manifeste is perhaps Tigran's biggest, proggiest, most complex work to date. The lineup of
musicians and instrumentations presented on each track are impressive, and this is the most
fully formed Tigran's music has sounded in a while. Tigran does not shy away from his usual
Armenian-influenced approach with odd-compound meters, disorienting syncopations, and
intense jazz flurries, which along with the length, makes for a dense listen. While
this can make some tracks sound not very distinct, repeated listens are more rewarding than
they are exhausting, and reveal what gives some of these pieces their musical identity.
