Serj Tankian Talks About His Creative Process In New Doc

Whether you're a SOAD fan or not, this is an interesting look at the way a creative person works.

December 13, 2017

Revolver are killing it with their documentary stuff these days. If you've not spotted any of their films yet, we recommend you check out their Around The Fur doc and their moving Mastodon/Neurosis film - they're insightful and intimate, without being mawkish or embarrassingly reverential.

They recently visited Serj Tankian's home studio and had him talk at length about his creative process and the creative traps he looks to avoid. Whether you're a SOAD fan or not, it's an interesting look at the way a creative person works. Enjoy:

This is part one of a three part series. We'll keep you posted.
