Socially Engaged Musician
Arman Ameri Mahani is an Iranian Indo-Persian and electronic musician, composer, and multi-instrumentalist based in the Netherlands. His artistic practice bridges traditional modal music with contemporary sound design, creating immersive sonic experiences that move between acoustic depth and electronic textures. Drawing from his background in Indo-Persian musical traditions, he integrates meditative elements, raga-influenced melodies, and atmospheric soundscapes into a modern, interdisciplinary context. As a performer, Arman works at the intersection of live music, mindfulness, and wellbeing. His projects explore attentive listening, inner awareness, and the psychological impact of sound. Whether in concert settings, workshops, or community spaces, his work focuses on creating meaningful musical encounters that foster reflection, connection, and emotional resonance. As an applied musician, Arman designs context-responsive music projects tailored to the specific needs of each audience and environment. Rather than offering fixed formats, he develops customized musical experiences based on the goals, sensitivities, and social context of a project. He has worked with people with disabilities, refugees, and diverse community groups, using music as a tool for inclusion, expression, and wellbeing. His approach is flexible and adaptive: every project is shaped by the people involved and the space in which it takes place. Through composition, performance, and soundscape creation, Arman seeks to explore how music can influence the flow of the human mind and support deeper awareness. His work combines artistic integrity with social engagement, positioning music not only as an aesthetic experience, but as a transformative and human-centered practice.
