EARLY ACCESS TO SONGS ON YOUTUBE NOW AVAILABLE:
Due to demand, I've launched the channel membership option on YouTube. This allows monthly-paying channel members to get early access to some songs here on YouTube. To join the channel's membership option, go on the home page of the channel, and you will see the JOIN button on top.

From now on, all songs that are mixed and ready, but awaiting release, will be posted as members-only until they are released to the public.

My Patreon also has this option, but some people didn't find it convenient to have to go over to Patreon to listen to the early access music, so this is for the people who want early access to the songs whilst staying on YouTube. If you're already subscribed to my Patreon, you can ignore this.

I maintain a minimum three-day gap between song releases so that each release has time to gain traction before the next one goes live. Releasing another song too soon risks overshadowing the previous one and reducing its views. Also, I will sometimes finish two songs of the same culture in a row, and obviously don't want to release them back-to-back, to keep a healthy rotation to the channel's content.

Paid early access allows members to hear songs as soon as they're ready, while I can still maintain the normal public release schedule that keeps the channel financially sustainable, since the ad-revenue generated by the songs is what allows me to continue hiring traditional musicians and producing music on this scale.

Here's the first early access song, which will be released at the end of the month:

Here's a really cool project by my colleague Fraser Fifield, who plays most of the flutes and pipes on the songs from the Great-Britain area on this channel. It's a rendition for saxophone quartets of some Scotland's oldest musical manuscript dating back to the Middle-Ages. Really cool stuff and beautiful cinematography.

Some subscribers from the past few months have asked how they can support my work, and may not have found out about my Patreon link yet, so here it is:

patreon.com/FaryaFaraji

The money goes to the budget behind the creation of the songs, to pay the various musicians I collaborate with, so if you're keen on hearing more music made with experts of the craft, this is as good a way as any.

Sincere thanks from me and my colleagues for any support given, kk thxx for readingn xoxo byee 😘

An up and coming channel I want to bring attention to. Level Six creates beautifully shot videos that bring out the aesthetics and the beauty in diverse cultures from around the world, showcasing their traditional costumes, clothing, dances, with an incredibly unique and beautiful style of cinematography.

My channel's core thesis has always been that cultures, as they are, authentically, are a treasure trove of wonderful aesthetics and rich texture, and I think this up and coming channel does that wonderfully. Give them a subscribe if you like their work!

I have launched an official site where the methodology behind my (and my colleagues' work) is explained thoroughly:

www.faryafarajiofficial.com/

If you are subscribed to this channel for the informational and educational value it contains, please consider sharing this link on social media. I will begin building an archive of articles on the site where the creative process behind many of the songs will be explained from their ethnomusicological point of view.

For example, I currently have an article on Belisarius, how it reflects the living traditions of Aegean bagpipe music, the research behind it, its ethnomusicological roots, etc.

Because inaccurate descriptions of the channel’s methodology often circulate online and are increasingly amplified by AI search tools, I wanted to create a permanent, authoritative reference point where the research process, collaborations, and ethnomusicological foundations behind the work are clearly documented.

Sharing it will be immensely appreciated, thank you.

Reminder that many of the songs you can't find on this channel have been moved to my second channel, Farya Faraji's Boiling Hub: youtube.com/@FaryaFarajisBoilingHub

It's where I reupload old projects from pre-2022 that were made for a variety of other projects like indie video games or documentaries, before this channel grew into its ethnomusicological mission.
