It’s quite surreal. I’ve been tight with Nik (Chinbou- kas) since the early 90’s and Yury (Ani- sonyan) since moving to Los Angeles in 2000. The three of us have been in and out of many projects together and col- laborated over the years on multiple re- cords, soundtracks and live shows. Dur- ing the making of this project, for ex- ample, I recorded drums for Nik in New York when he produced Chris Caffery’s Pins and Needles. Same for Yury when I recorded some tracks on George Lynch’s latest release, but that was again back in LA. My music life with these boys has been nutty. Nik and Yury are my east and west coast co-producers and co-engineers on The Love Project. Yury started out on violin (Armenian/Russian influences), Nik with Greek music all around, and me, I was born in Tel-Aviv. My dad was born in Cairo, and my mom was born in Casablanca. All different countries, but the actual sound of the music resonat- ed the same vibe in all of us. It made me hungry.

Again using any tools I can get my hands on, from the camera on my MacBook to my little HDV to having my friends in film bring their monster equipment down for some sessions; the sweeter the idea, the more people that were interested in hopping on board.
