Gaia Sound Artist, Sound Therapist, Visual Sound Artist Akira Ikeda is a Gaia Sound Artist who bridges people, nature, and the universe through sound and prayer. Performing in over 30 countries, he creates unique sound journeys using ethnic instruments, custom-made devices, plant bio-signals, and solfeggio frequencies to transport listeners inward. From a young age, he was immersed in Buddhist art and nature, exploring music as a “universal language.” Formerly known as “Aki-Ra Sunrise,” he now releases works linked to the “Earth Calendar” and leads projects focused on ocean, dolphin, and forest renewal. His “Project Anima” merges sound, video, and dance, awakening the soul and reconnecting audiences with the world.
