SYSTEM OF A DOWN singer SERJ TANKIAN's live performance of his solo
album Elect The Dead with the AUCKLAND PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA will be
released as a CD/DVD on March 9th. Tankian feels that the classical
re-interpretations actually improved on the rock arrangements in
some cases. He told Rolling Stone, quote, "Some of the songs came
out more alive." Tankian included two previously unreleased songs in
the concert: "Charade," originally written nearly seven years ago for
System of a Down; and "Gate 21," which will appear on his next solo
album. That recording, with the working title Music Without Borders,
mixes it up with brass and string arrangements over a rock base.
Tankian has been indulging himself as a culture vulture in other ways.
He produced and just released an album of his father performing
Armenian folk songs, and he'll set the ancient Greek tragedy Prometheus
Bound to music on Broadway in early 2011.
