Everybody, Synchronize Your Chaos...
'The band Aryawn, seeking to provide cultural critique through experimental acoustics, lists classical composers among their leading inspirations. Classical works are still used within popular culture to set tones and moods for other pieces, and honored for the structure and psychological impact and sensitivity of their motifs and organization. Uniquely, Aryawn seeks out lesser-known composers, out of a mutual curiosity as to why and how certain music was rejected from production or why its creators were rejected from the canon of celebrated composers. Also, the band hopes to provide cultural analysis and social commentary through its sounds and unusual titles, such as “Sensationalism is the Opiate of the Asses.”'

Press(to!)
These documents branded confidential- that once enabled the dark recesses of man's imagination to run rampant- now shed light upon the flawed logic of those thrust from unknown loins into soil. The soil upon which is planted that tall mast- adorned with dyed cloth- to which loyalty must be sworn without question.

Exercise Your Rights! Exorcise Your Rites!
Aryawn is a musical insurrection in the guise of a spiritual exorcism. Aryawn is a spiritual exorcism in the guise of a musical insurrection.
Exorcism
Apparitions Manifest as Lifestyle
The exhumed prose of Wolfgang Borchert haunts the ledger lines that fall far below that of the grand staff. A resurrection of forgotten text, obscure compositions, neglected humanity, and inner solace after surviving the horrors of war. A jagged assortment of mirrored puzzle pieces that slowly hew into the dull mindset of our unknowing complicity, revealing a reflection of the world that gently lies just beyond our faculty.
Bush, Borchert, & Birkenstocks
This Fractured American Psyche That Ekes...
A musical journey into the jaded sense of fatigue that masquerades as "the American way of life." A blast of the operatic interspersed with sludgy hardcore, contemplative spoken word, and the rampant meanderings of free jazz.
Aryawn is- at once- all and none of these things.
