The Tsunami Projekt came to be after I had an idea when the tsunami struck Asia in 2005.  It all started with a post on a message board with the title of "What If..." and it grew its own legs after that.  We ended up attracting some really terrific artists including Nick D'Virgillio (Spock's Beard) Neal Morse (ex-Spock's Beard, Transatlantic), Mark McCrite (Rocket Scientists, Lana Lane), as well as many others.

There is a wiki page about the project with lots more detail.
