Arian’s work is about reframing and recontextualizing our individual, cultural and societal relationships to music and sound; from something to be ‘consumed’ or something that ‘should’ be done in a particular way, to music and sound as magical tools with the power to reshape our mental, emotional, physiological and energetic structures to expand harmony and possibility both within and without.

He sees music ultimately as a pure tool for direct access to discovering, exploring, and working in consciousness, and finds absolute joy in sharing the magic and mystery of music with the World.
