Covers, Collaborations & Collages

A genre-blurring collection of electronic experiments, cinematic collaborations, and reimagined covers. Serj's operatic voice meets dance beats and orchestral sweeps.

This album feels like a digital gallery of Serj Tankian's most restless creative impulses, moving far beyond the expected confines of alternative metal. It is a sonic laboratory where operatic grandeur is stripped of its heavy guitar armor and re-clothed in shimmering synths, glitchy beats, and cinematic strings. The experience is one of constant surprise, as the listener is pulled from the pulsating dance floor of a Deadmau5 collaboration into the intimate, hushed corners of a piano-led duet. It is an album for those who appreciate the voice as a malleable instrument, capable of anchoring even the most disparate musical environments.

Moments Worth Listening For
The moment the driving Deadmau5 beat on 'A Seed' suddenly gives way to Serj's soaring, unadorned operatic tenor.
The delicate, breathy vocal interplay between Serj and Bic Runga on 'Things Unspoken' over a minimalist piano bed.
The explosive orchestral swell in 'Apocalyptical Dance' that mimics a film score's climax before dissolving into a glitchy beat.
