Serj Tankian Unveils 7NotesExperiment.com
Serj Tankian unveiled today 7NotesExperiment.com, an open digital platform showcasing hundreds of compositions spanning 60 countries and all genres, official page of Creative Armenia reports.
All of the selections have one thing in common. They all begin with the same 7 notes.
In October 2017, the System of a Down frontman had teamed up with Creative Armenia to issue a video challenge to this effect, asking musicians everywhere to write songs beginning with the 7 notes Tankian offered. The challenge went viral.
Billed as a "cultural experiment", the new digital platform signifies the last phase of Serj Tankian’s challenge. From thousands of submissions, 500 were selected to take part in 7NotesExperiment.com. Of those, 100 are being featured. And of these 100, only 1 will win the $5,000 prize, to be awarded sometime this month.
The deciding jury includes System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian; Capital Cities singer-songwriter Sebu Simonian; jazz phenom and composer Tigran Hamasyan; Honored Artist of the Republic of Armenia Vahagn Hayrapetyan; Professor and Founding Dean of the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, Judith Smith; and the iconic rock star and challenger himself – Serj Tankian.
