Damon Albarn and
Jamie Hewlett – the duo behind animated band
Gorillaz and the opera
'Monkey: Journey To The West', have revealed details of their next collaborative project.
Hewlett explained that the project will be named
'Carousel', and will be a film and stage project that
Albarn has written around 70 songs for so far.
The visual artist told the
Observer: "[
'Carousel'] is even bigger and more difficult than
'Monkey'. I've done a lot of visuals and
Damon's done a lot of music but we haven’t figured out how they’re going to fit together.
"It's sort of like a film but not with one narrative story. There's many stories, told around a bigger story, set to music, and done in live action, animation, all different styles.
"Originally it was a film but now we think it's a film and it's a stage thing as well.
Damon's written around 70 songs for it, and I've got great plans for the visuals."
