Arith I loved it, as I said, it's a different musical wave, I liked it, I'm a fan. ❤

Thank you very much ☺️😊

So happy you are doing so well without the social media. I love seeing you blossom into creativity and becoming more in touch with yourself and the world around you 😊

Thank you my friend. I am indeed the thriving, at least who hehe. I'm very happy lately. Social Media completely drains our energy. I feel like I've lifted a heavy weight out of my spirit. May others do the same and thrive! Be well my friend, all the best to you! Thank you!

[@ernamoller175]

Thank you Arith for sharing your gift with us. I find the music very spiritual and as mentioned before, as I dance under African skies around a camp fire, to the beating of the drum. May this project bring you all the hapiness in the world and to those enjoying it.

[@teresafigueiredo4760]

❤

It's a pleasure and I'm greatly enjoying this. I feel like I needed to escape and express myself in a way that sets me free. Thank you for all your support and friendship and for your help. Thank you for always being there. Be well and never stop dancing!

[@poolguyunfiltered2850]

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for, Arith. I can't thank you enough! I have been dabbling with a few other bands on spotify to build the mood as I enter the right head space as I get ready to open myself up to the natural world. Some of them got close, but none of it felt really visceral or authentic enough to set the right mood. I'm so incredibly happy for you, and thank you SO much for sharing even more of your talents with us all.

I'm so happy to know that, truly! I'm honestly surprised with the positive feedback that VAR UMN is getting. I know this is a type of project for quite a specific audience, but it is surprisingly getting a lot of attention. Thank you so much, and I do hope you enjoy the upcoming works, and may it take you into wonderful and amazing journeys. Let me know how it goes and the emotions it gives you and where it takes you, if you want to share it, of course. All the best!

[@alicecarmin6646]

❤🙏✨🙏❤️

[@keithdrummond1003]

Very beautiful. I enjoyed the explanation of the name as much as the music, itself. Thanks for sharing. I will incorporate this into my offerings and meditations.

So great to know that! Let me know how it goes. All the best and good luck!

[@keithdrummond1003]

​@ I certainly will. I'm a bit of a hermit, by choice. The older I get, the more I appreciate the company animals over people. 😊 I practice alone. No big blots or festivals. This music really sets the mood for this, for me.

So this is the “official” launch. Got the KZbin channel subscription, and I’m loving it. Great stuff. Thank You, Blessings ❤

Yeah you could say so hehe. Finally got the courage to announce it lol. Thank you my friend. Be well!

[@Idibergu]

Hello Arith. I really like your music. I find it interesting and creative. I have enjoyed your videos for some time and not long ago I ventured into making medieval music. My music is not as experimental and raw as yours, but mostly inspired by northern mythology and lokal history from the viking age. Looking forward to hearing more of your music Arith. Best regards Stein

Hey there! Where can I check your music? I've seen in your channel your performing on your first attempt at medieval music in public. Do you have more? I would like to listen to them. Be well, thank you, and all the best to you. Much luck!

[@Idibergu]

@ Here is one I made Arith. I call my project: Prikkperikum kzbin.info/www/bejne/oobJiZKDerWIqdk

[@teresafigueiredo4760]

Bandcamp 🎉❤️ Congratulations

[@Robert-gc9gc]

I have played many kinds of music with "found instruments" like John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and other lesser known composers. The 20th century was a time of experimentation with this kind of things. I did all that in university. Performing , learning and even composing some myself. But not to your level. It was an eye opening experience. I hope you will be enlightened more and refine your work through time and experience. ❤

[@maxlegermainalaman3883]

Very interesting creation ! ^^

[@l3chatn0ir]

Love it 🤟🏻

Awesome!

[@vgang3605]

Interesting change from the normal content cool stuff

The normal content remains, but this one is another project of mine with its own channel and other networks hehe.

[@alysmarcus7747]

Dear Arith - thankyou so much for shareing this gift, you are glowing with the life of it , and i am so grateful for you sharing this. I just gave away my 4 track recorder about a month ago -I have been so stressed and depressed and i was going to start selling my drums. I wont do that now. Thankyou. When i first heard the one you wrote about the trickster fox, i went hunting for some CDs and files that i had recorded 19 years ago with two of my friends. Most of it i did my self -invented vocal sounds, and throat percussions that described paintings and poems i had done about how i felt about people and nature and the conflicts. Until i found you on your channel i didn't know about 'animism' Your throat singing is fantastic I hadn't much experience at that then but I did what i called vocal body percussion. I like how you describe Var Umn - it fits in the feeling i had about the energy of that sound, and the feeling of doing breath work for healing songs.. Once again , I am happy for you and feel so fortunate you have shared this.

[@teresafigueiredo]

❤❤❤

Thank you my dear friend. Thank you very much! I do hope that my songs bring about a positive feeling in your and wakes up good emotions, and may it be reflected in your life, all around you and within you. I wish you the very best and all the luck to continue and to express yourself. Indeed I hope you return to your own rhythm and vibration, and may your express into the world your own essence and energy. I wish you a continous flow of imagination and creativity. Many blessings to you, and thank you for your kind words, your support and your friendship. Much love!

[@alysmarcus7747]

​@ Wow. Thankyou. I'm having such trouble with depression; more than in a long time. Being alone is not so bad if you can get out of the house - The weather is so weird, and the winds have been too high to ride and visit my foxes. I tend to slide across the borders, like tonight visiting with a friend and then she said, Be careful what you say, some here don't know where they are yet. i had been just sitting and meditating to give my mind a rest. So, indeed thankyou so much for this message and your wishes to me ! My head is thick from being indoors so i'm likely not my sense now; i can get out tonight i think. I am so grateful to you of your person and what you share. Love to you as well

[@raymondbenadictine]

So excited to get into this project after hearing that you make your own background music. I've always enjoyed that, so I'm looking forward to hearing more works of yours! Thanks for sharing yourself, I love ad-libs, freestyle and jazz. Cool to see your process as well. Idk if you're an Andre 3000 fan, but you might want to check out his latest album. I think you might enjoy it! 🙏🤗🕯️

[@denyse6666]

@ you are more than welcome I will always have your back !

[@robertv7253]

Awesome work Arith! Your album art looks amazing btw 👽 Crafting A Raw Animism Genre sounds awesome being its aim is not to be associated with what has already been created and telling the stories of old that is connected to all cultures in a animistic perspective. I’m working on a solo studio project that aims to the animistic truth you explain in your videos and hope to contribute to this new genre you are crafting soon 🤘

Oh great! I hope to listen to your work too. Please, share it around and let me know. I'm very much interested in works like that. I think the world needs more rhythm and more animism hehe. Thank you for your support and your encouragement. All the best to you and best of luck!

This throat singing, isnt that bad for the vocalchords? The sound reminds me of a tigers chant, sometimes called bone grinding, goes deep into the flesh and spirit. But what is music if not sound that moves us. Very interesting project, you seem to be flourishing😊Thanks for sharing and for explaining the creative process❤

[@bethpowell5824]

Arith this sounds channeled.

[@konradpanduram4576]

What a treat, Dankeschön! 💫 Also, new Logo?

This logo is just for VAR UMN :D I'll try to keep the project apart from the work done here at this KZbin channel, which is why VAR UMN has its own KZbin channel. Thank you friend, hope you enjoy it. All the best to you!

[@TamuNgina]

Your backdrop is gorgeous

[@rayholhoy]

Arith, would you be kind enough to point me to a Celtic bagpiper in the north of Portugal? I am travelling to Porto in June this year and my sister wanted a Celtic style wedding celebration. I realise you must get a torrent of requests but I thought I'd try. Keep your videos coming Arith, they are hugely informative...

Hello friend! There's still quite a few people that play the bagpipes here, but not a lot of bagpipes makers, sadly. Well, I know a few portuguese bands that play the instrument. Theres Galandum Galundaina, they specifically play Mirandese (Mirandês) traditional music; Mandrágora is a folk band from Porto; there were the Dazkarieh, but I don't think they are active now. I suggest, if you can, contact APEDGF (Associação Portuguesa para o Estudo e Divulgação da Gaita de fole) to see if they can arrange something. This is their email: [e-mail] , or their number [phone] or [phone]. This is their facebook page: facebook.com/associacaogaitadefoles Hope it works. All the best! And Congratulations!!!

[@rayholhoy]

That’s brilliant Arith! Thank you so much for your help @

[@boazhukema4795]

Will this release on streaming services, ive been enjoying the project alot

I'll try to see how that works. Thank you!

[@belladonna70]

dont stop Arith x

I'll try not to. I'll go forward for as long as I can. Thank you for the encouragement my friend! Cheers!

[@kylehorner8782]

Reminds me of the band Phurpa......

Will check.

[@kylehorner8782]

@ They are a Russian group that does the musical rituals of Bon the pre Buddhist religion of Tibet......

I was listening, and I enjoy them :D pretty cool. They have an EP with 5 songs, each with 40+ min ._. woah! I want to do something like that too lol, so people can use something more extensive in ritual. Are there any other bands of the sort you know of? Please, share it :D I would like to listen to some more of this. Thank you for the recommendation!

[@kylehorner8782]

@ They are too unique to be a "trend" sadly. Check out their performances which are rituals quite amazing as they blend the esthetic visual aspects with music and ritual performance.... Have you thought of adding Carnyx to your repertoire? Here is a Phurpa performance example. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHyYpnpom7Npfqc

[@boulway]

Sounds quite like the German word "warum" which means "why".

Well, indeed "why" have I done this? D:

[@boulway]

@ just adds another layer of meaning and mystery to your project. Anyway keep up the good work and enjoy your creativity. You are awesome.

[@guyh.4553]

Interesting Arith! Might I suggest contacting the groups Danheim or Wardruna and share your music? Sounds exactly like what they produce. Maybe you can get some collaboration to improve your journey. Personally, when you started to bring in and mix yourself twice, three times and then add the drums is when the music drew me in. But what do I know, I haven't been in a band for 25+ years now. Just thoughts. Like it😊😊😊

I can't contact such groups, I've just taken up the courage to announce this lol, wasn't even on my plans to show it to anyone, as it was more of a project just for myself to have some fun, like personal therapy. I don't have the mental capacity to contact such groups lol. I'm not able to see this as something that may turn out big. I'm just enjoying the process and I'm happy making these performances at home, it gives me joy and I just have a good time while playing the drum and making various sounds with my voice. I know some people are asking if this is on Spotify, but I don't know how all of that works lol. But thank you friend, of course! Thank you for the support, very much appreciated! :D

[@guyh.4553]

@ no matter what, it was great and fun. Needed it yesterday! Rock on brother! 😊😊😊

[@marksteven6116]

got the same drum

[@simonekaspy2231]

I've been to bandcamp it's a lot 😎 !

[@williamfreeman8197]

Will you sell cds? Or shirts

For now, just digital copies of the albums. I've just started lol, so let's see how this develops.

[@bernadettetormey4452]

Is that a bouhran ?

No. The small one is a tambourine, the big one is the drum that has been a very useful companion in the past 15 years, which I think it's just called hand-drum or hand tambourine drum, something.

[@bernadettetormey4452]

​@ The big one looks like an Irish drum 😊 The sounds are spiritual, I love it ❤

[@bernadettetormey4452]

Oh and let me know when you're in Porto for that coffee 😊

If you can, give me a call at instagram so I can fix the message and when I'm in Porto I'll know where to find you and llet you know :D obrigado! :D

[@Dominic24256]

Var Umn is truly enjoyable and I quite enjoy it and will definitely be trying it out in future trance work as well as general meditation and utilizing it as a sleep aid. Keep up the great work.

Wonderful! Let me know how it goes, if you want to share. I very much want to know. People's experiences also give me inspiration :D best of luck!

[@Dominic24256]

@ so far Var Umn Excels as a sleep aid at least for myself will be trying it out in general meditation later after work
