In 2000, Anderson had started work on a sequel album to "Olias of Sunhillow" named "". Development on the project slowed since then; in 2011, he reasoned the delay as it spans up to three hours in length, of which he has written the majority of it, but needs additional time "to figure out how to recreate it correctly". Anderson expressed a wish of putting out an interactive album with "an app that allows people to go on a journey, choose a new journey every time they open it up, and hear it in a different way every time".
