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.

First ever vinyl edition of Djivan Gasparyan’s exquisite second album recorded in 1993, a decade after his classic debut album I Will Not Be Sad In This World. Produced by Michael Brook. Includes download card to full album plus bonus Machinefabriek re-work of the title track.

Djivan Gasparian introduces a piece of the Armenian culture into the world with his every record. I guess, what is so particular about this album is that the tunes contained on it are not only beautiful in the musical sense, but also very painful to the Armenian people. Listen to the "7th December, 1988", the day of the terrible earthquake in Armenia... thousands of people dead, thousands buried underneath the fallen buildings of Gyumri and Spitak... the day the nation will never forget. Here flows the sad, painful and still... such a heavenly melody from Dasparian's Duduk with a voice singing beautiful lyrics.
