“SOCIETY IS LIKE AN OUT-OF-TUNE PIANO”

‘There is not a unity in the cultural field. Mass hypnosis rules. If you could not sing, keep silent, and today who cannot keep silent, sings”, Daniel Yerazhisht (musician) expressed such an opinion at the “Urbat” club today. He is the head of the “Sharakan” ensemble and professor of the Conservatory after Komitas. According to him, these days ''Music of foreign rubbish, and not foreign professional compositions'' are heard everywhere. Why we prefer the low-quality – because it is cheap, he said.

The professor adds that our society prefers the copy than the original. Without seeing the national music our people sees the distorted music. ''We don't have Komitas anymore: it is distorted''.

''The music art is depraved'', the musician mentions. The State is the only hope of salvation for the phenomenon, he thinks. “The State gives support point to the art workers”. Though he is for that the same state adopts a law on combating the hypnosis. Daniel Yerazhisht in this atmosphere “the society is like an out-of-tune piano, which always plays falsely”.
