January Project

Conor and Gabe are working together to edit, rewrite, and rerecord some of Conor's recent material for a concept album. We're thinking science fiction and bare acoustic arrangements.

Possible Songs

Ambulance

Mark the ground mark the lead

A man named edison

Time for your transporter

A married woman?

Everything is as it should be

The nature of limitation

The best of all worlds

Possible Story Ideas

• A husband and wife inventor team.
• The husband is killed or seemingly killed in an experiment.
• The wife mourns his loss.
• The wife longs for a technology to return her husband to her.
• She creates and employs one with unintended consequences.

Multiverse

• Does she pull him from a parallel universe? Is he happy about that? Is the version of her from that parallel universe happy about it?
  • If she pulls a version of him from a parallel universe in which they were never married, he might have occasion to sing A married woman.
• Is he not dead, but instead sent to a parallel universe? Perhaps where the husband and wife are not together?
• Maybe he is not dead, but somehow indescribably partially there. Perhaps oscillating between several realities. Maybe the best description is that he is somehow perforated like the line in ambulance.

Time Travel

• Can she go back in time to prevent the accident that took him away?
• Can she go back and then decide not to prevent the accident?

Possible Musical Ideas

Arrangement Ideas

• Acoustic Instruments
• Vocal with harmonies
• Different arrangements to differentiate characters?
