Field notes
The homepage uses faux Windows-era interface elements—file names, menu bars, executable labels, and a visitor counter—to structure the project’s materials. Its biography places the music in a specific setting: Sarkissian is based in Yerevan, runs Ponx Studios, and combines classical training with rock, hip-hop, electronic production, and film work. The page lists fourteen album tracks and links to several streaming services.
