I made an exclusive experimental-jazzy live set for Burning Man VR in collaboration with Education UP Side Down.

you can check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITc8MNKif30&t=553s

For the full experience, you can attend the event on AltspaceVR.

The Weave is an experimental project specifically made for #BRCvr (Burning Man Project in #VR) 
The Kaleidoscope is made by 
Education UP Side Down, using original photos of authentic Armenian rugs. 
The original geometric patterns of the rugs have been given movement using #VR and the original code is distorted at different angles, making it mathematically impossible to decode.
The Kaleidoscope isn't perfect as no rug is perfect. Often imperfections are deliberately done by the weavers.

three year journey: the last three years have been the most important in my musical journey. The collection of sounds which represent the album were all a progressive creation of those three years. These years were quite vital for my growth both as a musician and a human being since I spent most of the time analyzing my inner processes, eliminating thoughts that seemed not mine anymore, trying to know me better, and doing my utter best to connect all the dots/events/memories to find out the real me. The realization went as far as understanding who are the key figures in my life and who gave me the light I carry inside, and ultimately, coming to a standpoint that regardless of the experience, that journey filled with the entirety of possible human emotions led me to be the person I am right now. 

This album is a collection of more than 200 unfinished projects with a broad spectrum of ideas that seemed to be forgotten until I decided to leave my homeland Armenia on a five-month trip in early 2021. The biggest, perhaps scariest challenge I faced was the absolute inability to collect all the memories the exact way they were since life was moving so fast and reality was quite unstable that it was almost impossible to memorize even the smallest thing. But I found the way. I realized the correct path is to simply be present, and life will carry your subconscious on the journey you are supposed to be part of. 

This album is my soul, my world, the love/heartbreak, acceptance/annoyance, anxiety/confidence, curiosity/courage, desire/disappointment, the doubt, the distrust, the happiness, the rage, the hope/worry, passion, the people I met, the entirety of a human inner world expressed through sound. enjoy.

three year journey was a first time I tried to collect an album in 2021 and this is the original text of the collection.

At one point in my life, I met Rambalkoshe but never thought I would be part of its long journey then I met Mr.Tony and I knew that Tony and I would play a lot together on the same stage or without a stage doesn't matter. Then I met Mr.Shhau and I knew that this dude will be my teacher without him knowing that I am his student. So long story short I like this life and thank you Rambalkoshe, thank you, Mr.Tony, thank you Mr.Shhau.

THIS! TO REMIND YOU THAT IT IS IN YOUR BLOOD TO CREATE AND BUILD!
AND THAT IS THE POWER WE MUST EMBRACE. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DECIDES: TRANSFORM PAIN INTO A SEED OR LET IT BREAK YOUR SOUL! YOUR PAIN IS LEGIT. MY PAIN IS LEGIT. THERE IS NO GREATER OR LESSER PAIN. PAIN IS PAIN! I AM ALIVE, YOU ARE ALIVE, AND I WILL LIVE NO MATTER WHAT! I WILL LIVE AS FULLY AS I CAN FOR MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO ARE GONE AND FOR THOSE WHOSE SOULS WERE BROKEN BY PAIN.

To my international friends, please take a moment to read this. We Armenians are enduring challenging times. Our nation is being pulled in different directions, and 120,000 people from Artsakh have been displaced from their homes, with many tragically killed by Azerbaijan. If you're passionate about promoting love, equality, and understanding, I encourage you to learn about Armenian culture and even consider visiting our beautiful country. If you wish to assist with the current situation, the best approach is to stay informed, spread the word, and consider donating. If you're unsure about where to find credible sources or how to donate, please DM me, and I'll guide you.
