Somni Arkana Chimes
The Arkana Chimes by Somni Sounds was formerly known as Kailani. Now we offer the same instrument and quality under a new name, originating from quechua, which means a protection hymn/Ikaro.
Arkana can be played by anyone who feels called to the instrument, without the need for prior knowledge or musical ability. It is a completely intuitive instrument.
Arkana comes in pre-tuned scales that require no maintenance in tuning. We carefully choose these note combinations in order to provide a harmonious and intuitive experience. For those who do not have knowledge of music theory, just listen and feel what resonates with you and moves your being.
Go to the 'Listen' Tab to hear the 3 Tunings of the Arkana Chimes:
- Dawn of Life
- Queen of the Forest
- Dolphin Dreaming
Our instrument opens doors for singers to accompany and explore their voices; for musicians to expand their creative processes; for therapists to find treatment paths through sound; for children to develop their sensitivity and creativity; and finally, anyone with any level of musical development can empower themselves and produce music.
he sounds emanating from Arkana create a unique space of stillness, serenity, introspection and crystalline vibrations, inviting the presence of deep relaxation and meditation into the environment.

"Dawn of Life" manifests itself as a hymn of renewal and promise. Joyful and serene, the notes that emerge are an invitation to dance with the first rays of sun, celebrating with the innocence of the inner child the renewed promise of a radiant tomorrow.

Dolphin Dream echoes like the call of dolphins dancing on the waves. Each note is a dive into the depths of the inner sea, where ancient secrets intertwine with dreams yet to come. The music flows like gentle currents, guiding the mind to explore inner landscapes of joy and freedom.

Queen of the Forest evokes a depth that echoes like the sigh of ancient trees. The music resonates like the mysterious call of the forest, enveloping the mind in a veil of introspection, where melancholy intertwines with the promise of self-discovery.

About the Maker
Building Harmony, Inspiring Peace
SOMNI SOUNDS is a captivating project focused on creating pieces that redefine the boundaries between sculpture and music, through the creation of sound sculptures.
Originating from the creative minds of Carlos Pinheiro, Music Therapist, and Leticia Billwiller, Musician and Singer, the essence of the brand synthesises this couple's deep love for music and the transformative power of sound.
We are proud to be a small family business, where each creation receives the attention and care it deserves. In a world increasingly dominated by conglomerates, we stand as a resistance to this trend, valuing artisanal work and a genuine connection with nature.
This approach allows us to infuse love and dedication into each instrument we produce, reflecting our essence and commitment to quality and authenticity.
Carlos Pinheiro is a multi-instrumentalist passionate about music from different cultures and deeply influenced by sacred rituals that have music as their guiding principle. From these practices, he was led to find his purpose in life: to empower everyone with the gift of making music and art, in an intuitive, light, and playful way.
Located in the mountains of Lumiar, on a site surrounded by lush forest and bathed by the waters of the Macaé River, we find inspiration in every detail and sound of the nature around us.
Here, in harmony with the environment, we build sound sculptures that resonate with the delicate and powerful beat of the heart of the forest. Our vision is to be able to extend to all places in the world the possibility of recreating the harmony and peace that we find in our home.
