When being in that intimate yet shared space that Arian creates with his music, sounds, presence, I instantly drop into my authentic, creative essence. By the beauty of the music my attention is drawn organicly to my inner movements while feeling wide-awaken. His sound journeys are great portals for me to connect my inner world to my outer world, to be fully awake, playful, present.

I didn't imagined such a profound experience. The sound waves flowed through my body, revealing emotional and spiritual areas in need of healing. I was taken on a journey through time and places, with powerful energy and intense emotions. I woke up feeling more focused on the positive and ready to celebrate life. I highly recommend this transformative experience.

The sound journey from Arian was true magic. I can’t really explain it with words, but I went into a very deep state where I was able to heal something I didn’t even know was there—and that was very beautiful. It was deep, and it was calm. I really wish to come again.

Something I can truly say about Arian’s sound journeys is that they feel like experiencing a living landscape—one that is always different. Each time brings new colors, shapes, movements, and formations. Sometimes it feels like wind moving down a mountain or flowing through a valley. It’s never the same.

I believe this music is medicine. It’s not bound to a fixed form or defined style. You can sense his background and some influences, yes—but he remains very versatile. He’s an explorer, and because of that, it feels like we’re exploring with him. It becomes a collective journey.

My Work
(What we do)
01
Research
The foundation of Arian’s work lies in deep research and reverence — a continuous process of learning, preserving, and innovating within ancient musical lineages. Drawing from Persian, Azeri, Kurdish, and Turkmen musical traditions, Arian explores new creative edges while staying rooted in ancestral wisdom. This research shapes everything: the melodies, the rhythms, the instruments, and the way the music is offered — as medicine, as portal, as gift.
Ancestral music study & self-teaching
Indigenous instrument mastery
Oral traditions, story, poetry
Field recordings and documentation
Philosophical and mystical exploration
Experimentation with form and sound
