Intentions (Kavannot) behind each song
The tracks on Achat Sha’alti were widely field-tested before I took them into the studio to record them. They were all performed many times, and in many different contexts. The choices made in constructing a studio arrangement, then, were the result of much interaction and co-creation with other musicians, “audiences,” and – if it may be said – with Divine inspiration itself.
