Now available on iTunes, “The Ivy Ceiling” bridges the spiritual with the modern, the eclectic with influences of R&B and pop, and the upbeat with the serene. The collective creation and vision of two artists -- Sri Michael and Uma Nanda Saraswati - “The Ivy Ceiling” beautifully merges the ancient Indian art of Kirtan with contemporary musical styles of the 21st century, fusing East and West in a melodic tapestry of epic proportions. The ten track CD blends Sanskrit mantras and highly textured beats in a cross-cultural expanse of sound.
