In a world often overwhelmed by chaos and noise, Anaya Kunst offers an oasis — a sonic sanctuary woven from notes of love, peace, and transcendence. The multi-award-winning composer, filmmaker, and visionary has once again merged the art of sound and imagery into a singular experience. With The Sanctuary, she invites us to journey beyond the everyday, into a realm where each melody breathes harmony and each image paints serenity. Blending masterful musicianship, cinematic vision, and immersive technology, Anaya creates not just music, but a refuge for the soul.
1. “The Sanctuary” feels like an invitation to step into a world of peace and beauty. What personal vision or emotion first sparked the idea for this piece?
-All my efforts are dedicated to the universe and elevating Earth’s vibration to support the ongoing planetary transition. Previously, I engaged in unlocking the planetary portals’ vortex with the Oracle of New Manifestations. Now is the moment to honor our sacred Sanctuary.
2. Your music has often been described as having a healing quality. What do you believe gives The Sanctuary its unique emotional and spiritual resonance?
-I craft my music in 432 Hz, a frequency believed to resonate with the heart chakra, offering a transformative experience to listeners. The intentional arrangement of sound sequences guides individuals on an introspective journey, facilitating healing. The unique composition of Anaya Music has garnered numerous positive responses, with many expressing a profound sense of well-being while immersed in the melodies.
3. You worked with renowned collaborators like Matthew Shell, Tony Correlli, and Marcio Alves. How did their contributions shape and enhance your creative vision?
-I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Matthew on music albums since 2015, where we have embraced new sound technologies. Tony joined our partnership in 2024, bringing his expertise in innovative sound technologies to the table. Additionally, Marcio has been an integral part of our team since the early 2000s, contributing his skills in film and image design.
Together, we form a harmonious team, blending our diverse human and professional qualities. I am deeply grateful for the invaluable partnership we share.
4. The production was mixed and mastered in Dolby ATMOS. What drew you to this immersive audio format, and how do you think it transforms the listener’s experience?
-Dolby Atmos revolutionizes the audio experience, offering unparalleled immersion and realism. By dynamically positioning and shifting sounds in a 3D environment, even overhead, this technology elevates audio to new heights. Unlike conventional surround sound, Dolby Atmos crafts a spatial audio landscape, enveloping you in a world where you are part of the soundscape.
- In your career, you’ve blended music and visuals into award-winning art films. How did directing The Sanctuary video differ from your previous visual projects?
-I always create a script and imagine situations that I want to change or raise the vibration of. This happens in my imaginary world, and the pieces fall into place. When I realize it, everything is ready. It’s a creative process that occurs internally, and then it’s just a matter of adding the sound and image. You have to be very in tune and clear about what you want. Determination and dedication are essential ingredients for the realization of the work.
6. Your work has won over 600 international awards — an extraordinary achievement. Beyond accolades, what does true success mean to you as an artist?
-As an independent artist, receiving an award is truly fulfilling. The recognition not only validates my work but also amplifies its reach, touching the lives of many who will be impacted by its transformative effect. This multiplier effect expands the horizons of what we create, resonating with a broader audience and spreading its influence far and wide.
7. Your compositions are often compared to a “sonic sanctuary” in a world full of noise. Do you see your role as an artist as offering refuge for the soul?
-A Sanctuary for the Soul: Embrace Your Divine Being : In a world filled with distractions, it’s essential to find harmony within ourselves. Amid the beauty of external distractions, remember to look inward and recognize the divine being that resides within you. Cultivate a profound experience of divinity within yourself, allowing your soul to flourish in its sanctum.
8. You are both the composer and performer in The Sanctuary. How do you balance the precision of technical mastery with the vulnerability of emotional expression?
-Feeling the natural flow, effortless and synchronous. Mastery of a skill unlocks the soul’s voice, paving the way for the miracle of creation.
9. Over your career, you’ve evolved from Eternity in 2016 to The Sanctuary in 2025. How would you describe your artistic growth over these years?
-I’ve had the privilege of learning a great deal about myself and the world around me. Interactions with remarkable artists have provided me with fresh perspectives and profound human experiences. Suzanne Doucet, a seasoned consultant, has been a significant source of wisdom and inspiration for me over the years. Collaborating with dedicated partners in my artistic endeavors has been invaluable to my growth and development. Above all, my supportive husband has been instrumental in realizing my dream of a life filled with love.
10. If listeners could take away just one feeling or message after experiencing The Sanctuary, what would you hope that to be?
-Inner Peace
