For Gyumri is the 3rd extended play by Tigran Hamasyan and was released 16 February 2018.[1][2][5][6] Tigran considers this EP a companion work to his 8th album An Ancient Observer, which was released the year before.[1][5][3][7] Similarly to An Ancient Observer, this work is mostly solo piano with use of sparing vocals.[1] The album is named after the city Gyumri and is where Tigran was born.[2][5][6] This was his 3rd release on Nonesuch Records, with the two previous releases being An Ancient Observer and Mockroot.[8] Tigran said that this album "... is an ode to my birthplace, the town that nourished my childhood world with great experiences and made me who I am".[8] He performed this EP in Royce Hall at University of California, Los Angeles, and part of the proceeds went to the Children of Armenia Fund.[9][10][11]
