All Saints

All Saints Records was established in 1991 and is named after the street in West London. The label's first releases were from Opal Records/Land Records, which had closed that year as Brian Eno's management company wanted to focus on artist management rather than being a label. All Saints has since continued to build upon those initial releases with new acts as well as with artists already associated with the label.

Djivan Gasparyan (1928-2021) was an Armenian duduk player, composer, and educator. He gained international recognition with his debut album released by Brian Eno's label. Throughout his career, he collaborated with renowned musicians such as Ludovico Einaudi, Brian Eno, David Sylvian, Peter Gabriel, and Michael Brook. Gasparyan's music also graced the soundtracks of Hollywood films like 'The Siege' and 'Gladiator'.

His unique talent on the duduk, a traditional Armenian woodwind instrument, captivated audiences worldwide. With his soulful melodies and emotive performances, Gasparyan became a revered figure in the world of music.

If you enjoy the enchanting sounds of Djivan Gasparyan's music, you may also appreciate artists like Stephan Micus, Dhafer Youssef, Sainkho Namtchylak, Arto Tunçboyacıyan, Anouar Brahem, Lévon Minassian and more.
