Poolside Open Mic #101 ft Armand Tanzarian

Armand Tanzarian is the longtime solo project of composer Derryk, combining disparate-but-connected genres such as post-rock, emo, shoegazing and math rock to create expansive, progressive music while telling personal stories about depression, lost loves, and finding embers of hope despite having no more reason to. Using a guitar, a loop pedal and occasional woodwinds to build an epic wall of sound, Armand Tanzarian focuses on creating as much chaos and fury as is possible for a solo musician to make while still playing melodic, story-based songs.
