Tankian took some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions about musical inspirations,songwriting,and performing.
What is your songwriting ritual?
I start writing on either the guitar,piano,bass,samples/beats,
keyboards,or vocals.Depending on the starting instrument, the song ends up in a certian place. As for lyrics,I generally cut and paste them from my poetry, though I also make a habit of writing fresh words for new music.
Who or what currently inspires you to create music?
Moments,people,sounds,visuals,etc.,[inspire me]more than other music.There is not one single artist or album that I favor above
all I also don't have a favorite food,movie,or anything like that.Diversity doesen't include favorites.
What song do you never get sick of performing and why?
I never get sick of performing the song of the moment,which seems to be ever changing.
What was the first concert you ever went to?
Iron Maiden at Irvine Meadows in 1984.I diden't understand or dig them then,but I sure do now.
What has been the most memorable part of your career thus far?
Since the past only exists through my own looking glass,it's all memorable,or not depending on whether I'm present or not.
