Steven Wilson hadn’t planned to tour “Requiem for a Village”, the solo album he released on 6 November, but he’s now thinking about it. “I wasn’t planning to tour it, but everyone is asking me now,” he told Under the Radar. “So, I’m beginning to think how the village could work live.”
What he has in mind isn’t a repeat of “The Overview”, “where I went all over the world”. “Possibly a residency that moves to four or five different locations over a period of time – but somewhere where I can create more of an environment, more of a context to create the village in a live setting.” He adds: “Not ruling it out, but don’t have any concrete plans at the moment.”
In the same interview he goes through where his other three projects stand. “No-Man, I’ve got like an album on the go. Storm Corrosion have got an album on the go, and kind of PT as well,” he says, meaning Porcupine Tree, whom he meets up with every year to write “two or three new songs”. Of the second album by Storm Corrosion, his duo with Opeth’s Mikael Åkerfeldt, he says: “Possibly the Storm Corrosion one is the one closest to being finished.” “I think maybe a couple next year; maybe the PT one will be the year after.”
At the end of October, speaking to Innerviews, he’d talked about two or three years before any new Porcupine Tree release.
