Hailing from Los Angeles, Sukhavati explores the genres of New Age and Contemporary Instrumental music through the creation of new pieces for audiences of today. Utilizing the unique combination of 20-string harp guitar and handbells, the duo takes inspiration from some of the greatest artists of the genre, while also expressing their own original musical voice. Ayame's handbells evoke the sounds of the singing bowls of Tibet, the gamelan gongs of Indonesia and the church bells of Europe. Nick's harp guitar weaves a haunting spell; evoking the primal sounds of sea, sunset and serene nature.
