Imperfect Harmonies
Imperfect Harmonies, Serj Tankian’s newest solo album, will be released on Serjical Strike/Reprise Records on September 7th, 2010. The album is his second solo studio release, following up his critically acclaimed 2007 solo debut Elect the Dead. As with Elect the Dead, Tankian produced Imperfect Harmonies himself at his home studio in Los Angeles.
“Where Elect the Dead was essentially a rock record with progressive melodic elements,” Tankian says. “Imperfect Harmonies could be classified as rock because it is punchy with many peaks throughout, but the instrumentation is somewhat different. Though there are live drums, bass, and some guitars, the driving aspects are electronic and orchestral. It's quite unique in its sound palette. This is, in essence, music that has sat in the vat and matured to a ripe sensation and is now ready to serve.”
Imperfect Harmonies is as powerful and musically eclectic as its predecessor. “I have been calling the music ‘electro-orchestral-jazz-rock’ because it has all of those aspects in prominence within the songs,” Tankian says. “A few are more stripped down, but the majority of the songs have this huge wall of sound presented in a way I've never heard before. It's not common to have a song that is both electronic and orchestral since one is synthetic and the other organic, but I found a way of meshing a lot of these colors together.”
The album has been influenced by Tankian’s experience making Elect the Dead Symphony, a symphonic interpretation of his debut that had its inaugural performance in New Zealand with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra in March 2009. The performance has been captured on the CD/DVD Elect the Dead Symphony. “The making of Elect the Dead Symphony gave me the confidence and tools to create ensemble pieces for orchestra more confidently and effectively than before,” Tankian says. “And that became one of the primary colors for this record along with electronic, jazz, and live instrumentation.”

Serj's vocal range
I love what Serj's vocal range, the cool things he can do with his voice.
The lyrics are VERY important, and they send out a good message. But they are repeated the entire song. Probably because they were so important.

Imperfect Harmonies
The new album from Serj is awesome! I really love the fact that he went solo because the new music is better than the one played by System of Adown, although that isn't bad either :) outside lighting

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more information? It is extremely helpful for me.
Following his largely
Following his largely successful solo rock album debut Elect The Dead, Tankian rewrote and arranged the chart-topping songs as full orchestral compositions that he performed live with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra in March of 2009. An extremely memorable show by every stretch of the imagination, the 70-piece orchestra (conducted by Hamish McKeich) and Serj performed to a packed house at the Auckland Town Hall in New Zealandog0-093 latest dumps/oracle dumps/pk0-003 latest dumps/pmi-001 latest dumps/braindumps pmi-002/dumps pmi/pw0-104 dumps/latest redhat dumps
Great Album
I can always count on you to keep me amazed with your music. Love this album and can't wait to see what you have in store next ^^.
Serjs music is adore !
I'm not saying I do not love SOAD, but honestly, I'm afraid to go to their concerts, because 70% of people at the concert SOAD are junkies. Therefore, i have gone concerts Serj and I feel closer to them more humanely and familiarly. Serj, GO, I adore you! When do you go to Czech REPUBLIC ? PLEASE, COME TO CZECH REPUBLIC :D
Great
I love your new album=).
At first it's always a bit odd to listen to but really, this gives me chills allover whenever i listen to it^^.

Visit Guatemala, City!
Toda latinoamerica esta a la espera que Serj Tankian pueda visitar sus países en latinoamerica. Esperamos esto pueda lograrse ahora con el tour mundial del Imperfect Harmonies. Serj tiene millones de fans por estas regiones que estarián (y yo también por supuesto) felices de poder disfrutar de uno de sus conciertos en sus paises.
Si puedes ver esto por favor! abre una gira por latinoamerica y visita Guatemala al igual que otros paises vecinos.
Toda una comunidad de SOADFans te espera por acá, y serás bien recibido por todos.
