Townsend continues to post his thoughts and musings on Facebook:

"Next year I want to do a big huge production with an orchestra and choir with a best of *everything*. Listening to all my past. How? Hmmm...

While we're learning songs, any requests for the upcoming tour?"

He has posted footage from his rehearsals for the upcoming UK dates in November, to be shot for an upcoming DVD release. Says Townsend: "Here's a late night jam with the band that plays 'Ghost', the fourth record of the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT. In November, I am playing all four records back to back, and this rehearsal is the first one finished... Decon next. The four shows will be in London for DVDs. I'm using different people right now, some from the records, some not... it's a hell of a lot of work, but it's off to a great start! Kat Epple on flute, Mike St-Jean on drums, Jean Savoie on bass, and Dave Young on keys. Chrys Johnson plays second guitar, but he had to move. He'll be in London. The song is 'Radial Highway' from the upcoming Ghost 2, btw..."

The Devin Townsend Project recorded four albums from 2008 onwards, culminating with Deconstruction and Ghost, which were both released earlier this year. For the upcoming London dates, the band will be performing each album from the series in order of their release, starting with their debut album Ki on Thursday, November 10th.

Townsend previously commented on the shows: “Just finishing a really gratifying and incredibly humbling four months of touring. The shows have been really coming along, starting to incorporate visuals, learning what works and what doesn't and having the opportunity to play with amazing bands, who I have been fans of for years. The next step is to rehearse the four albums from The Project and we will play four special shows in London covering the gamut of musical moments that have been a part of this past four years with many cool surprises.”
