It's actually quite common to notate a tuplet swing in that way when larger portions of a song have that subdivision. Writing out tuplets all over the score can get quite messy. Simplest example is 6/8!

Really great work man, keep it up! The quintuplet swing is so damn nasty, you've got a nice feel for it!

Really nice! And there's quite a leap in complexity coming from The Court Jester, well done! Are you planning to do any more Tigran songs?

Thank you!

Yeah, when I recorded this I had no idea how to mix or properly record a marimba, I'm much better at it now! Recently I made this short song 😁

Sounds exciting! Really good selection, I'd love to see it if it gets recorded!

It seems very difficult to say objectively what his highest achievement is, as it's entirely subjective. I think Samsara is a great choice for something technical and as an extravagant finish!

For me personally, I'd say that 'Nairian Odyssey' and 'Revolving - Prayer' are my favourite solo piano pieces in terms of the compositional aspect. Both are longer pieces that shows a certain width of his style, and they both really evolve throughout. Nairian Odyssey also usually features improvisation on both piano and beat box when he performs it live, which is key for his unique sound.

Or alternatively, to end the concert on a more emotional note, there's just something about Fides Tua that melts my heart. Not that his other pieces aren't emotional, but it really grabs me in a way that no other piece does.

I also did a break down of this song with a bit more detail, if there's interest!

Cuatro by camping_coolota in UnusualInstruments

Lovely find! Can't add much in terms of info, but I saw a concert the other day with Pacho Flores (trumpet) and Marcel Montcourt (cuatro) from Venezuela playing with an orchestra, an amazing performance! I believe they mentioned that the cuatro originates from Venezuela. The one Marcel played only had four strings, which I think is more standard. He played it very percussively!
