hayk karoyi

In his music, you can hear the vibrant Mediterranean palette and the rich diversity of Armenian medieval culture. Hayk, a multi-instrumentalist specializing in Armenian woodwinds, brings forth the entire range of his cultural identity from his subconsciousness through these instruments. As a person of mixed heritage, blending East Mediterranean and Armenian cultures, he has never sought to be purely Armenian in his music or in his self-identity. His music is always a fusion and an ongoing experiment. It is never complete, constantly evolving, always searching for something new and consistently surprising
