Double-Faced

This simultaneous arrangement/transcription of Tigran Hamasyan’s “Double-Faced” features a rather lesser-common instrumentation by giving the spotlight to the more unconventional instruments (i.g. the steel pan/drums). With this arrangement, we tried our best preserve the Armenian elements that Tigran himself uses in the original song. Along with dabbles of prog. rock & jazz-fusion.

The goal was to make a song of such odd 4/4-division be easily to read as possible. In this piece you will see mostly groupings of 5-, 10-, and 15/16 groupings to aid readability and general overall feel (as opposed to the groupings of 5 within 4/4 that you would normally pick out in the original song.
