Stories from places where sound meets silence.
Fragments of Sardinia – recorded, observed, felt.


Sound Bath with Harp - Tomba dei Giganti di Iloi, Sardinia
A different kind of session. We recorded a sound bath with harp at the Tomba dei Giganti di Iloi, one of the most powerful and atmospheric ancient sites in Sardinia. The Place Massive stones, arranged thousands of years ago. Forming a long, open structure. These sites are often linked to collective rituals and a connection to the ancestors. Not as an idea. As places that were actually used. There is a certain presence here. Not dramatic. But undeniable. The Session Harp by Da


Natural Care - Plants, Skin, and Simplicity
There is a difference between treating the skin and supporting it. In many cases, the skin does not need more. It needs less. Less interference. Less complexity. Natural balms follow a different approach. They do not try to correct or override. They work with what is already there. The Role of Plants Plants have always been part of how we care for the body. Not as products. But as simple, direct elements. Oils, resins, and extracts carry properties that interact with the skin


Things to Do in Sardinia for Relaxation and Quiet Experiences
Sardinia is often associated with beaches, clear water, and summer tourism. But beyond the obvious, the island offers something else - space, silence, and a slower rhythm. For those who are not looking for crowded places or structured activities, there are ways to experience Sardinia differently. This is not a list of attractions. It is a selection of quieter ways to spend time on the island. Sound Bath in Nature In certain places, sound carries differently. On stone, near th


Sunset at Nuraghe Limedadu - Behind the Session
We recorded a sound bath here at sunset. At Nuraghe Limedadu, near Nulvi in northern Sardinia. The place sits on a hill, around 500 meters above sea level. From here, the view opens toward the sea. On clear days, you can see as far as Asinara. The location lies behind Monte San Lorenzo,which protects the area from the north-west wind. The Place This is not just a viewpoint. It is a boundary. From here, the landscape begins to shift. From higher ground into softer, eroded terr


Sound Bath with Shamanic Drum - Monte Alma, Sardinia
This session was recorded on Monte Alma, in northern Sardinia. An open landscape, exposed to wind and light.Wide space. No boundaries. The Place There is a different quality to elevated places. The air feels lighter.Sound travels further. Nothing is contained. Each tone moves outward, carried by the open space around it. Two Elements This session combines crystal singing bowls with a shamanic drum. Two very different forms of sound. The bowls create a wide and continuous fiel


Sound Bath at the Waterfall - Pink Moon, Sardinia
This session was recorded at Cascata Pilchina di li Caaddaggi, near Sedini in northern Sardinia. Water moves constantly through this place. Falling, flowing, continuing without pause. The Place The sound of the waterfall is always present. Not in the foreground,but underneath everything. It creates a continuous layer. A natural field that the tones enter and dissolve into. Nothing stands alone here. Everything blends. The Session This sound bath follows that same movement. Th


Resonance of the Sea - Sunset Sound Bath at Poltu Bianco, Sardinia
This session was recorded at Spiaggia Poltu Bianco, near Valledoria in northern Sardinia. At sunset. The sea is not a background here. It sets the pace. Waves arrive in steady intervals. Wind moves across the surface. Light changes slowly. Everything is already in motion before the first tone begins. The Place There is no separation between the sound bath and the environment. The bowls do not sit on top of the landscape. They enter it. Each tone meets the movement of the sea.


Sound Bath at Sunrise - Bonaria, Sardinia
This session was recorded at sunrise. At the Sanctuary of Nostra Signora di Bonaria, near Osilo in northern Sardinia. The place is open. Wind moves across the hill.The sky is wide.The stone holds the first light of the morning. The Setting There is no separation between the sound and the surroundings. The air carries everything. Each tone moves into the open space, without returning in the same way. Nothing is contained. Everything expands. The Tone The crystal singing bowls


Understanding Reiki - Energy, Presence, and Balance
What is Reiki?Where does this energy come from?And how can it influence the body, mind, and emotional state? In this recording, Pasquale speaks about Reiki as a form of energy work. Not as a fixed technique, but as a subtle interaction between energy, intention, and awareness. Reiki is often described as a universal life force. A current that can be perceived, guided, and shared through presence and practice. Rather than explaining it in theory, this video stays close to dire


Sound Bath at Domus de Janas - Su Murrone, Sardinia
This session was recorded at the Domus de Janas of Su Murrone, near Chiaramonti in northern Sardinia. These structures are among the oldest human-made spaces on the island. Carved directly into stone, thousands of years ago. They are often referred to as “fairy houses”. Not because of myth,but because their origin and purpose remain partly unknown. The Place Unlike open landscapes, this is a contained space. Sound does not expand outward. It returns. The stone reflects everyt


Sound Bath by the River
This session was recorded by a small river in northern Sardinia. No setup beyond what was needed. No controlled environment. Just water, stone, and open space. The Place The sound of the river is constant. Not loud.But always present. It fills the gaps between the tones without taking over. There is no clear boundary between the sound bath and the place itself. Everything blends together. The Session A sound bath is not something you follow. There is no structure you need to


A Place Without Explanation
There are places that don’t ask to be understood. They don’t tell a story.They don’t explain themselves. They simply exist. Somewhere in the north of Sardinia, stones lie scattered across the land.Not arranged. Not marked. Just there. Exposed to wind, sun, and time. The Quiet Presence of Ancient Places These places don’t feel ancient in the way history describes them. They feel present. As if nothing has really passed.As if everything is still happening. There is no need to


Sound, Place, and Presence - The Essence of ARKAIA
There are places where silence is not empty.It holds something.Something that has been here long before us. At the edge of Sardinia’s northern hills, ancient stones rest under the open sky.No signs. No explanations. Just presence. This is where we recorded this sound bath. But ARKAIA is not about a single place.It is about something that connects them all. The Experience A sound bath is not music.It has no rhythm to follow, no melody to remember.It is a field of sound. Y
