Two musicians, one project
How it started
LA Projects began with a conversation after a live show in Germany by a local techno artist. Inspired by the raw connection between artist and audience, AZ knew it was time to bring people into this musical world.
AZ approached a long-time friend, Larisa, a professional pianist and music teacher with years of experience in the local scene. We had both been composing in our own private silos for years. We decided right then to break those walls down.
Today LA Projects is more than a duo. It is a synthesis of our shared feelings, technical expertise, and a mutual love for music. We work truly as one.
