In 2024, this has brought him to a place where he is also excavating his past and embracing and re-evaluating it in the present. His recent memoir, the New York Times bestseller \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eDown with the System\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, saw him dive deep into the principles, passions and philosophies that have fueled his life in and out of music. Similarly, his new EP, \u003cem\u003eFoundations\u003c\/em\u003e, mines music and lyrics from previous decades and reframes them in a hard-hitting, intensely focused collection. It is, Tankian says, “A retrospective of songs from different eras of my life, meant to complement the memoir.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike all of Tankian’s work, the five tracks that comprise Foundations encompass a wide range of sounds and styles. It is music that traverses multiple eras and vast swaths of emotions. It is also very much a rock album – “music of rebellion,” as Tankian puts it. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eA true creative tour de force, Tankian recorded \u003cem\u003eFoundations\u003c\/em\u003e primarily at his own \u003cstrong\u003eSerjical Strike Studios\u003c\/strong\u003e in L.A. He wrote, performed, orchestrated and produced all the material, as well as contributed the artwork – an original piece titled “\u003cem\u003eSunburst\u003c\/em\u003e” – that adorns the album cover. Additional instrumentation on the record was provided by \u003cstrong\u003eDan Monti\u003c\/strong\u003e (guitars, bass and drum programming) and, on “\u003cem\u003eCartoon Buyer\u003c\/em\u003e,” by bassist \u003cstrong\u003eMario Pagliarulo\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSOAD\u003c\/strong\u003e drummer \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Dolmayan\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eFoundations\u003c\/em\u003e” is due on November 1st via Gibson Records in the USA and everywhere else via Music On Vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMusic On Vinyl edition\u003c\/strong\u003e exclusively includes the instrumentals of the 5 tracks on side B.
