“I’m a light hearted person, but dark music comes natural to me.” Sums it up for me

[@ourdeathourhaven]

"I have to go to the far reaches of who I don't want to be to admit to myself who I really am." - Serj Tankian What a beautiful quote.

[@SiQuemaCuhh]

People don’t realize the impact SOAD had on rock music. They were on of the first major bands to try something new. No one at the time sounded like or even sound like them now. They made music that will forever be recognizable as “Oh that’s System of Down”

[@jherrn5056]

Serj is my hero and my favorite vocalist, i look up to him and i don’t care what anyone says about his singing he’s badass and he’ll always inspire me to make music or any form of art😎

[@carlymarie6696]

I absolutely love Serj. He is so intelligent, eloquent and kind❤️

[@soflaav8r]

I love hearing people as smart and creative as Serj talk about their lives.

[@PaulOwenMusic]

I love this kind of evolution of an artist. From SoaD to the composer before us. Really interesting insight from Serj. Nice one Soundiron 👍

[@SoundironAudio]

Thank you for watching, Paul!

[@liamteatate]

"I had to go to the far reaches of who I don't want to be, to admit to myself who I really am" Great stuff... and a standing desk!

[@JunkBondTrader]

wow, interesting. That sentiment almost perfectly mirrors a lyric from Sugar: "You know that every time I try to go Where I really wanna be It's already where I am 'Cause I'm already there!!!!!!!!!!!!" Except of course he substitutes himself with a location, probably a metaphor. My rewrite: You know that every time I try become, Who I really want to be, It's already who I am, Cos' I'm already me!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😅

[@fhaquuu]

Musical genius.

[@maddiesue8204]

Anything serj related should not have a dislike button at all!

[@bubbleseroticaband8807]

It’s awesome to see Serj become a film composer. I just think it works so well with his style and mindset of music writing.

[@joshuabush4466]

No words can describe how much I love this dude. Such an amazing person!!

[@goodnightgrace1682]

Serj Is by far my favorite musican/artist. Been a huge fan since 1998 and dont go more than a couple of days without listening to his music wether its thru his solo albums or my favorite system of a down. Hes absolutely talented

[@ourdeathourhaven]

What a legend. Man literally created a successful business just to eat while making music. Incredible

[@angelocast]

Is so cool to see Serj doing this. My last memory was TOXICITY! and all the influence in the 90s he and the band made. Now He looks so chilled, cool, relaxed, and creating amazing music! LOVE IT! Evolution of a multitalented soul! Thank you Soundiron :)

[@vaaalsongs4867]

Couldn’t agree more with his opinion on film scoring and how open for exploration it is.

[@southblockstudios530]

I can't IMAGINE my life if Serj had become a lawyer. SOAD changed me; completely. Thank you for the music man, I fucking love you.

[@5ld734]

Serj is low key my role model

[@meilei8716]

Thanks for doing this, serg and producers

[@lordsoup4287]

any chance for a "In The Studio with Daron" next :P

[@KAI-bm6lq]

Hopefully that will increase the chances of an *cough cough album cough*

[@gretzkyan]

Would be cool

[@ziudra91]

Hah. Good luck on that. Daron is pretty much a nightowl and has been for a long time. Pretty much sleeps during the day most weeks. Organizing an interview with him isn't as straight forward.

[@InvertedFantasies]

This would be really amazing

[@amirhoseinshams256]

*f l a t i o*

[@zigabric263]

Ah, the Pick of Destiny in the background, it all makes sense now.

[@chango_wero]

Love serj, he's so committed on his craft and outspoken about his ideals, also love his music. Great video!

[@djsb90597]

The evolution of Serj it's just amazing. Really nice interview. Thanks Soundiron

[@metallaholic]

I love Serj and all the work he has done. I still hope we can have a full SOAD project come out again at some point. Absolutely amazing musician. I can't even think of the number of times I've had his solo releases playing on repeat in my car.

[@lauritajijoeva2827]

I love Serj and his hits. He is really great man

[@ItCantRainAllTheTime_90]

This was so interesting to watch. Serb is super talented and creative. I loved when he talked about getting into painting and how new it was for him. Starting something new can be scary but you have to start somewhere. 😊❤️

[@awndermusic]

I feel like Adam Neely will reference this in a future video at some point

[@Artofwar3004]

i love this guy

[@apothecide.1]

Really inspiring and motivating to keep going further and further out of the box and not limit yourself.

[@IgansF]

I would probably die an happy man doing this even one time

[@harpuli]

this guy is amazing

[@bydeboracris]

This man is amazing, he inspires me so much, god. Love you, Serj.

[@ThreeBeingOne]

Thank you everyone involved 🙏🏾

[@Cloudjump3r]

Wow! Thanks for putting this together! Really wonderful to see Serjs road, influences and thoughts like this. Growing up with SoaD it great to see another artist and composer who has such a checkered past, so much hunger for exploration and such a great ethos and vison for creativity. Really enjoyed watching this.

[@SilverlineNL]

I love seeing this passion, awesome!

[@ehdyn]

Nice long-form interview.. Loved it

[@SoundironAudio]

thanks for watching!

[@padhraigodonoghue6453]

Thank God he chose music. Although it sounds more like it chose him.

[@vibratemutate]

such an inspiration and motivator, love that guy!

[@Mr_A_Mia]

What an awesome episode. Thank you guys!

[@SoundironAudio]

Thank you for watching!

[@inspisiavideos8542]

He’s pretty cool! I actually work for an internet company as Software Engineer and when he said he graduated with a marketing degree I smiled! I have to do marketing and develop applications for my company. On top of that I love making music! Please make more videos like these!

[@chr1llee]

Serj is amazing 🤩

[@KAI-bm6lq]

Love you daddy serj 🥺💖

[@nucavani]

💪what an inspiration!

[@dekoningtan]

I absolutely love this video. More content like this please!

[@AdamSpade]

Great interview. Serj is a talented guy.

[@retired4365]

Loving the processes and the projects...hell yeah.

[@SoundironAudio]

Thanks for watching!

[@turtletheorytv]

wonderful interview. super down to earth guy and fun and articulate!

[@ZordimuZ]

Appreciate what he did for "The Rains of Castamere"

[@officialdifusorYT]

Amazing artist. Respects from Spain

[@MrBrianWaldo]

the pick of destiny on the guitar behind xD

[@realSincronimo]

huge inspiration.

[@richdewhittaker1746]

Serj’s score for the ‘Times Square Killer’ documentary was great, nice one! 🗡🎶✨

[@DMS198526]

Brilliant interview

[@14tralfaz]

This was awesome. From start to finish. Inspiring.

[@SoundironAudio]

Thanks for watching, Chase!

[@MoreMeRecording]

Man, surprised I can hear there is virtually no acoustic treatment in his studio? 0_o

[@JunkBondTrader]

well acoustic treatment isn't necessarily about damping reflections as much as possible. There are silent vocal rooms for that, which damp everything, and it's usually undesirable. It's more about creating a nice acoustic response. This to me, sounds like a heavy high end ambient room. It is quite dramatic, but I bet that audio signal edits very nice and easy. Where a bedroom reflections sound cluttered, boomy and creates phase cancellation. edit: just realized you must be speaking about the parts where he is standing. Yeah that is a little much lol. Very sibilant.

[@bonbonvegabon]

Best singer in the world

[@supersoul-espiritualidadem8621]

Namaste, Serj! 🎶

[@JoshuaTMagee]

Amazing to have Serj featured here! Thank you, Soundiron. By the way, does anyone have any idea where to buy a standing studio desk like that? I've been looking for something just like that.

[@SoundironAudio]

It was made by a company called Soundesign Studio. Thanks for watching!

[@JoshuaTMagee]

@@SoundironAudio, awesome, thank you!

[@bonbonvegabon]

Another SOAD album PLEASE

[@anthonymetcalf660]

This is the first time I have ever heard him talk. Not what I expected but his speaking voice still makes sense with his singing voice. Weird.

[@luisaodograndao3590]

Just had to Love the Logic Pro X semicomercial... ;)

[@jackguy7551]

What a story!

[@gretzkyan]

Sickest guy

[@vRoMe0]

Lovely Interview 😍😍

[@Cleansedmind]

I appreciate this

[@lucasgetchell6288]

Coolest human alive

[@arukendo7573]

serj is my inspiration!

[@ericdaubney3401]

Those Genelec 1032s!

[@phdgkos47952]

10:00 yes man like let the ether take control of thy wand

[@studio88s]

I coudnt conscntrate at what he says after seeing that gigantic green pick on the tyloar guitar! what is that thing?

[@camilocean]

Serjical Strike Dungeons!

[@serj36]

Cadê as legendas em PORTUGUÊS (PTBR 🇧🇷)😭

[@MrTommyfellows]

Is that The Pick of Destiny sitting in the strings of his Taylor behind him?

[@machinosts]

Amazing interview. But I've just got to ask - Did anyone else feel genuine stress from seeing that gibson casually leaning against the wall? Someone buy this man a stand or two.

[@Metaljonus]

They're on stand. When you see it pan out look at the bottom of the guitar.

[@StratsRUs]

This is much more like how we all know the truly creative musicians work.Too much theory stifles, except for content on You Tube, obviously.

[@mattp6035]

10:50 make it happen please

[@mattp6035]

I will give you fictional dollars to make that happen
