Featuring virtuosos of Contemporary Armenian music such as Bei Ru, Lara Sarkissian and Armen Ra, as well as shedding a light on the independent music scene in Yerevan, YERAZ is an exercise in ethnomusicology. Classical songs and instruments collide with the full spectrum of electronic-based music from ambient to techno and everything in between, building a mosaic inside of a specific cultural context. Whether you are looking to get lost in meditation or bring dynamic energy to a room, this record serves as a tool kit for all intents and purposes with a traditional touch. The double-LP is split between Angeleno artists (Sides A and B) incorporating folk instruments and melodies to reinterpret the Contemporary Armenian idea outside of the established pop landscape, and Yerevani artists (Sides C and D) emulating popular musical trends of the West through their native lexicons. Critique will be donating 100% of it's net profits from sales of YERAZ to Kooyrigs, a non-profit organization providing resources for women and transparent aid to the Armenian homeland. You can learn more about their mission and projects at www. Kooyrigs. org. Emil Abramyan ~ Sky, Bei Ru ~ Port Sayid, Lara Sarkissian ~ Suspended In Time By The Sea, Armen Ra ~ Crane, Deradoorian ~ Three Duduks, KamavoSian ~ Masiv Calling, Melineh ~ Antsi Antsnem, Serjo ~ Love Delivery, D.zúk ~ Arevmutq, Taleen Kali ~ Sonic Meditation
