A Fable (album)

A Fable is the 4th album by Tigran Hamasyan released in February 2011.[8][1][3][9] Tigran uses traditional Armenian hymns, Armenian poetry and Armenian folk music as the basis for the tracks on the album.[10][4][11] The album also draws influences from Jazz, Rock and Pop.[5][7] Tigran in an interview said that he chose the name of the album "... because each composition tells a story ... [and] people can relate to fables because they are both simple, yet deep."[3][11][7] He only used his first name on this album's release, but has used his full name in subsequent albums.[12]

gollark: ... I would really like to remove those.
gollark: Also, that would break the hash, which is separate, so you would have to edit the manifest file and such.

gollark: And only do partial updates if it's necessary, unlike now.
gollark: Instead of just pulling straight off pastebin, it'll be able to do verified updates using a manifest file.
