Serj Tankian approached various friends in the art world to direct a video for every song on Elect The Dead, his debut solo release. This allowed for each director to showcase their personality, creating a unique approach to each song they were given.
Track 6, The Sky Is Over, directed by Oscar-nominated Puerto Rican playwright and screenwriter Jose Rivera (The Motorcycle Diaries), captures Vahe in the studio painting feverishly, inspired by the song. “For me,” says Berberian, “it was a magnificent collaboration between three artists and friends. I have always used music as a source of inspiration and this time, it was even more so because of the fact that both the musician and the filmmaker were good friends” This unique glimpse into the artist’s methodology and environment is a feast for the eyes.
