		SERART finds these two, seemingly disparate, creative artists joining for a new vision.

	All Systems Down To Serart
		Serart is Serj Tankian from System of a Down with Arto Tuncboyaciyan, a percussionist who played on System of a Down's Toxicity album.
		Collectively, their music is described as The music on SERART is both "cross genre and cross cultural," an exotic and eclectic blend of electronica, poetry, Middle Eastern melodies, Pan-African rhythms, classical motifs melded with volleys of percussion, indeed a far cry from what we know from System of a Down.
		Serj Tankian: Serart to me is like a compelling collaboration between two artists and it represents a moment in time.

	Serart: self-titled - PopMatters Music Review
		Serart, though, is not just Tankian alone; he's teamed up with noted Armenian avant-garde artist and multi-instrumentalist Arto Tuncboyaciyan for this little sonic adventure.
		The interesting thing about Serart is, it's all spontaneous, recorded in a mere six days, with minimal overdubs, yet it's not always the colossal mess you might expect.
		Serart isn't a perfect album by any stretch, but it does prove to be more rewarding the more you listen to it, and one can only hope that Tankian can continue to work in some of that same crazed ambition in his regular band, who are on the cusp of greatness.

	Interview with Serart
		Just looking at the name of Tankian's new project, Serart - a combination of equal parts of both members' first names - it is immediately apparent that this project is not just the sort of side-project put together to ride high on the now-soaring success of System of a Down.
		Like System of a Down, Serart is based strongly on the two artists' shared Armenian heritage and multicultural musical backgrounds, which include a love for Middle Eastern melodies and Pan-African rhythms.
		Serart, the duo's self-titled debut release, which hit shelves late last month via a distribution by Columbia Records, is the first release from Serjical Strike, a label which now features three other acts.

		Serart is a the first release on Serjical Strike Records and a collaboration between System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian and avant-garde multi-instrumentalist Arto Tunc Boyaciyan.
		Serart is not something I intentionally planned on because it's not a solo project or a side project.
		I was compelled by his artistry to do the record rather than thinking of doing a solo project or whatever.

		Designer Magazine caught up with Serj to discuss what it was like working with an artist who'd previously appeared on over 200 records and loved the art of improvisation rather than carefully structured soundscapes.

		His band is now regarded as one of the most important and vital metal acts today, one of the only contemporary metal bands who have been able to both take the genre into exciting new directions and achieve commercial success at the same time.
		Their 2001 album Toxicity was a landmark record for the band, and while we wait to hear whether or not System of a Down can take their music to an even higher level, Tankian has given his fans an album called Serart to experience for the time being.
		Serart, though, is not just Tankian alone; he's teamed up with noted Armenian avant-garde artist and multi-instrumentalist Arto Tuncboyaciyan for this little sonic adventure.

		Actually this weekend I was at the Royce Hall, UCLA and I got on stage with Tabla Beat Science and a bunch of amazing artists and just creating on the spot and having some fun on a Saturday night, so yeah, I'm enjoying it.
		The short film is a 12 and a half minute DVD component which will be packaged with the record and it's a really cool visual collage of the record mixed into 12 and a half minutes, of course not the whole record.
		The project that I did with Petra Jolly is something that we just did it in the studio, I wrote all the music and she did most of the vocals and lyrics and we never put it out and its something I'm not sure where I want to take it.

		Serart is the fascinating debut collaborative art project from the gifted Armenian multi-instrumentalist Arto Tunc Boyaciyan and System of a Down lead vocalist Serj Tankian.
		Unless you're already listening to other groups that manage to incorporate sitars, talking drums, tablas, turntables, hand cymbals, toy piano, poetic spoken word and bowed standup bass into their music, this album will serve as an introductory education in the odd juxtaposition of melodic tonality.
		Serart is just totally all over the place.

	KLUDGE MAGAZINE - Review - Serart: Serart
		Rate It Serart is the side project from System of a Down's frontman, Serj Tankian, who released the album on his very own, Serjical Strike Records.
		Serart is a musical breakthrough, gathering Arabic/Middle Eastern influences thanks to multi-instrumentalist avant-garde folk artist Arto Tuncboyaciya, who teams up with Serj for the project.
		There is so much going on within every track, and they all act as independent parts of the whole that bring forth new feelings, new vibes and sounds, new messages.

	Interview - Serart / System of a Down: Silent Uproar
		Yet, the topic of discussion was to be this avant-garde project he recently completed with multi-instrumentalist Arto Tuncboyaciyan, called Serart.
		So, a couple hours of reading and listening to music, I finally had an idea of what this project was all about, and how different it was from anything Serj had previously recorded.
		I actually have some lyrics, because I am so used to doing lyrics, that there were times that I needed words to grab onto the emotion, but generally what I am doing is non-lyrical and 100% of what Arto is doing is non-lyrical.

		K tomu si přičtěte použití saxofonu, piána, syntezátorů v těchto nebo jiných skladbách a možná zhruba dostanete představu, že v hudbě Serart je možno skoro vše.
		Serart nepatří ke snadno stravitelným kouskům, ale pro otevřené uši a mysl je zajímavým mixem na první pohled těžko spojitelných kultur a hudby.
		A to se cení, bude zajímavé, co dalšího Serj na svém speicálním labelu (jehož je Serart prvním "koněm") připraví.

	Serj Tankian . Genre Defiance Serj Tankian blends rock and culture in Serart [prefixmag feature]
		Serart, a collaborative project between Tankian and fellow-Armenian folk percussionist and vocalist Arto Tuncboyaciyan, is cross-cultural and hard to define and was recorded, according to Tankian, almost completely spontaneously.
		PM: On the Serart project, there seems to be a great deal of press about the different instruments used on the album.
		Serart to me is a very special record, it's not a commercial record.

		Serart ei bändinä varmaankaan sano monellekaan yhtään mitään, mutta bändin toinen jäsen System Of A Downin Serj Tankian herättää jo todennäköisesti useamman ihmisen kiinnostuksen.
		Serart on siis Tankianin ja folkmuusikko Arto Tuck Boyaciyanin yhteisprojekti.
		Osa Serart materiaalistakin voisi olla SOAD-levyllä, mutta toiset biisit ovat niin hämäriä, että ei edes SOAD sellaista tee.

	RADAR REPORT: System of a Down
		System of a Down’s frontman, Serj Tankian, is known for writing some of modern rock’s most intense and hard-hitting songs like “Chop Suey” and “Boom.” The words spewing forth from the band’s songs are intelligent, questioning, and universal, and teenagers around the world quickly identified with the Los Angeles band’s angry lyrics and furious music.
		Flavored with Middle Eastern and Pan-African rhythms, Serart, the first release on Tankian’s label, Serjical Strike Records, proves to be a bold venture for the lead singer of System of a Down.
		Serart hopes to challenge what people expect to hear with unpredictable, risky musical choices by both Tankian and Tuncboyaciyan.

	Arto Tuncboyacian
		Two years later, their project Serart – a contraction of their names and the first release through Serj's label Serjical Strike –; is as unpredictable and surprising and boundless as their use of instruments.
		Traditional instruments such as Arto's pockets, commonly used to make bird sounds, and "wilder" instruments like the electric guitar are only some of the tools used to make this album.
		The product of pure improvisation – Serj claims nothing was pre-written – Serart is one continuous medley of genres, crossing oceans and continents and decades.

	SERART - tastes like chicken
		That's how I'd describe Serart, a collaboration between System of a Down's lead singer, Serj Tankian, and prolific folk-musician, Arto Tunc Boyaciyan.
		Layered beyond belief, Serart is a tumultuous ride of self-expression, effortlessly bridging cultural and musical gaps.
		And, of course, Serart is tinged with a note of social consciousness.

		SERART is a different than SOAD, but it is good because Serj sings at it!!!!
		I actually got a "Serart sampler" cd as a Christmas present, and there is a different mix of that song where you can understand the lyrics better.

	Ink 19 :: Serart
		The Serart project (short for Serj and Arto -- duh!) sees the pair glancing towards the Middle East and northern parts of Africa for inspiration, confronting both the familiarity of their geographical neighbors as well as accentuating the strangeness of music outside of the Western parameter they're more known for working within.
		The two write songs separately, yet the album comes together as one natural whole, slowly unfolding and growing in intensity as it proceeds.
		If not a constantly challenging affair, it's impressively done and near immaculately executed, showing Serart to be onto something potentially stunning if they decide to do more work together.

	Three CD Reviews- Serart, Jen Elliot And Domestic Godzilla
		Serart a CD/DVD combo is the first release on Tankian's Serjical Strike Records.
		Serart bears little resemblance to System Of A Down's music, so if you're looking for loud, aggressive hard rock, you won't find it here.
		Arto Tunc Boyaciyan, an Armenian jazz musician known for his extensive credits in both Europe and the US, collaborated with Serj from System of a Down on this project 16 tracks of jazz/electronic/Arabic/Armenian jazz that has absolutely nothing to do with Tankian's day job.
