Arto Tuncboyaciyan

b. 1957, Galataria, Turkey. Tunçboyaciyan is usually a favorite program musician in his house country in addition to becoming renowned for his percussion work with artists such as for example Joe Zawinul, Chet Baker and Oregon, and it has made an appearance on over 2, 000 recordings. He released his single debut, Virgin Property, in 1989 but his 1st widely available recording, Every Day Is usually A New Existence, was not released until 2000. Tunçboyaciyan may be the youngest kid of the Armenian family members and was influenced to generate music by his sibling Onno, a composer and bass participant. By age 11, Arto was a percussionist inside a music group alongside his sibling. When his sibling subsequently created his own music group, Arto became a member of playing trombone and percussion. He relocated to the united states in 1981 where he carved out a good session profession collaborating with jazz and globe music artists, while also liberating the occasional single recording and recording using the instrumental jazz quartet Night time Ark. The loss of life of his sibling inside a 1996 aircraft accident shows up (understandably) to have already been a major impact on Tunçboyaciyan’s result. The function was the psychological catalyst for, Tears Of Dignity (1996) and Onno (1998), with Armenian ud participant and Night time Ark member Ara Dinkjian. The second option recording included songs entitled ‘My Royal Sibling’, ‘I Understand You Listen to Me’, and ‘Moving In My Rest’. The theme was revisited on 2000’s US debut EACH DAY Is A FRESH Life using the songs ‘I Miss You Every Instant My Sibling’ and ‘Dear MY PAL Onno’. Upon this recording, Tunçboyaciyan followed himself around the sazabo (a normal six-stringed lute), soloed on the original double-reed duduk, and performed percussion. In 1998, Tunçboyaciyan founded the Armenian Navy Music group (Armenia is usually landlocked), a little orchestra rooted in Armenian and Anatolian traditional music. The music group was formed using the explicit purpose of creating an organization to represent the audio of modern Armenia, and it has documented many albums including Bzdik Zinvor (1999) and New Apricot (2001). Tunçboyaciyan in addition has documented around alt-metal music group Program Of A Down (whose users are of Armenian history), showing up on Toxicity (2001) and Take This Recording! (2002), playing from a clear Coke container to his uncovered chest to some bucket filled up with drinking water. In 2003, Tunçboyaciyan collaborated with an recording with Program Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian as Serart. In the beginning of 2005 he released two simultaneous albums, a duo task with Armenian Navy Music group pianist Vahagn Hayrapetyan as well as the solo Artostan.
