Here is David speaking about exactly that:
DB: Well, people can expect a kind of a mini-opera, or an audio movie – 10 songs, interconnected loosely by theme and characters, instrumental excursions, some sound design. A concept album, I guess. Tightly written songs in a lazy landscape. You can expect to hear Buchlas, Moogs, some orchestra… Some great musicians… Some gospel-inspired chord changes, some country blues influences – a bit of John Fahey, some hard guitars… A lot of dynamic range, cinematic arc, and hopefully succinct enough to be enjoyable. One song is going to need a full gospel choir.
Sometimes brutal subject matter. Some jokes. A little love, a little hate. A lot of female background vocals… Look out Roger Waters, I'm comin' for ya!
Obviously the scale of the thing rides on how interested the people on the crowd-funding side are in something like this. I will need a lot of help to pull this off.
Also, to a large extent people can expect the return of David and David, as Dave Ricketts is going to help (whether he likes it or not!).
I'm also really fortunate to have access, through a good friend of mine, to the legendary recording chain from the Contemporary Records studio, their microphones, pres, compressors, etc… so it's going to be a pretty audiophile-ready recording. It's probably overkill, but we're recording at 192k. There will be vinyl! There will be mysterious and powerful cover art by Rick Boston. There Will Be Blood!
And yes, I want to do some live performance, but again, there has to be some interest from somebody for me to do it. I'm not going to force myself on people.
