Natural Seeds

(Spéciale dédicace à l'ami XANTHUL)

The Armenian Navy Band are led by Arto Tunçboyaciyan  a percussionist,
vocalist and composer of Armenian descent, who grew up in Turkey and is
now based in the US. His music is founded on Armenian and Anatolian
musical traditions and infused with jazz and contemporary culture to
produce what Arto calls avant-garde folk. The band have received
international critical acclaim, have toured extensively and their 2002
“New Apricot” album was released on EmArcy through Universal in the UK.
The Armenian Navy Band is composed of 12 of the finest Armenian
contemporary musicians, and the instruments include the traditional -
duduk, zurna, kemanche, kanun - and the contemporary - trombone, alto
sax, tenor, soprano sax, trumpet, bass, drums, keyboard and piano.

The “Sound of Our Life - Natural Seed” is a nearly 50-minute-long composition in eleven parts, which is dedicated to nature.
Hypnotic jazz-tinged rhythms. Cleverly balanced between the contemplative and
melancholic and bursts of the region's wild, break-neck dance music.
Think if it as an Armenian equivalent of Aaron Copland's Appalachian
Spring or Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain, for Tuncboyaciyan's vision
really belongs in such inspired company.
