The Anaka Project was born in 2013 on the Island of the Gods, Bali - Indonesia.
Early prototypes have seen the light thanks to the collaboration with Mr. Bro Manik, master of the sacred Balinese instruments, components of the so-called Gamelan Orchestra.
After years of testing on materials, design and production process, we have created an instrument with an unique and recognisable sound and shape.
Originally, the main concept behind the instrument was to help people to relax and relieve stress, but it quickly turned into a research to cure people through music: that's where the Chakra series takes life.
The chakras are the seven body energetic points whose rotating continuously, they receive and emit vital energy.
The Chakra* series of Anaka Connection is composed by seven instruments, each working on a specific energetic point that will resonate with your own specific frequency and re-establish the cosmic balance.
We’ve been testing these instruments for two years and the feedbacks are extremely positive.
ANAKA is a versatile instrument specifically conceived for therapeutic applications, but not limited to them.
It's being used for yoga practices, sound healing, meditation, traditional music and especially music therapy, where kids, handicapped and psychiatric patients can really benefit from the instrument and feel joy just by playing it and listening to its sound.
* Scientific studies have highlighted the importance of creating personal connections on a human level but not only; as living beings we emanate and receive energy through vibrations detectable in specific frequency ranges measurable in Hertz.
WHERE DOES ANAKA COME FROM?
The term Anaka comes from the Sanskrit language and it has different meanings. One among them, as well as the main, is percussion.
Exactly from this idea we have introduced the concept of Connection that perfectly represent our company's philosophy.

TEAM
How did it all happen? Again, connections! It started when two of us - the two Alessio - met for the first time in Italy thanks to a mutual friend. Then a well assembled team was born in early 2016.
Alessio Ceruti | the mind behind the product | FOUNDER & DESIGNER
Marco Longo | the sound master | AUDIO SUPERVISOR & CO-DESIGNER
Simone Petracca | the melody master | AUDIO SUPERVISOR & CO-DESIGNER
Alessio Gamba | the IT guy | CO-FOUNDER
The Chakra Series PRODUCTION
The instruments are mainly made from hot rolled iron steel. They're mechanically pressed first, then laser cut and cooled down. Each Anaka is then individually hand-wrought and, finally, patiently tuned with professional tools.
This process is crucial to give each instrument that distinctive warm tone full of harmonics.
The Chakra Series is a set of 7 instruments and each instruments is tuned up with one f comes with the following scales:
