Devin Townsend Project (2008–present)

After removing himself from the music industry, Townsend cut his trademark hair off[44] and gave up drinking and smoking.[45] Townsend found it "disconcerting" that he had difficulty writing music without drugs, and that he had trouble identifying his purpose as a musician. He spent a year producing albums in absence of writing, but found it unrewarding and decided to "pick up the guitar and just write."[44] This began a period of "self discovery"[45] where he learned "how to create without drugs."[46]

Over two years, Townsend wrote over 60 songs, and found that they fit into "four distinct styles".[44] In March 2009, Townsend announced his plans for a four-album series called the Devin Townsend Project,[46] with the goal of clarifying his musical identity and being "accountable" for the persona he projects to the public.[44] The project's concept includes a different "theme" and a different group of musicians on each album.[46]

Ki, the first album of the Devin Townsend Project, was written to "set the stage" for the subsequent albums.[46] Townsend channeled his newfound control and sobriety into Ki, a "tense, quiet" album that contrasts with much of the music he had been known for.[44] Ki was released in May 2009.[47] After Ki, Townsend plans a "commercial, yet heavy" album called Addicted, followed by the "chaotic" Deconstruction which represents what Townsend "was trying to achieve with Strapping Young Lad."[44] The fourth album, currently untitled, will be a New Age[44] ambient[46] record. Townsend has announced that "universe willing", all four albums in the Devin Townsend Project will be released in 2009, and they will be followed up next year by an eight-disc box-set, containing all four albums, as well as four bonus discs (including videos) and a booklet. After the completion of the project, Townsend plans to return to the live stage at select locations worldwide to play music from the four albums.[48]
