Howdy rharv....

Yes....I've been involved in (2) concept projects and working with only one other person.
l wrote most of the songs/lyrics.
1) It's titled "Full Circle". This one is only (6) songs and is about life in the future. (1984 and took a couple months to finish)
2) It's titled "The Travels Of Qua'Zelar". This one is (12) songs about a "space traveler, adventurer". (1995....this one took longer)
I haven't uploaded #1) but If remotely interested, I have #2 uploaded to youtube as an example:

I've not promoted it all because it surely has no commercial merit and only those like yourself interested in tackling a concept project would possibly be mildly curious or interested.
It's a mix of songs & compositions.

It can be a daunting creative process and one has to be in it for the long haul
Keeping the songs and lyrics interesting and focused on the project topic is paramount.
In my opinion...it's lyrical imagery that is the most important aspect to keep in mind.
Then song sequence needs to be determined.
If you do have any questions I'll be glad to chime in.

I do have another concept project that is just me and not finished yet which is (6) songs.
Several of the songs are close but still need more work
Unfortunately, I may return to stardust before I do finish it. smile
It's called "The Medieval Man" and the struggle to survive in medieval times.
Here's one of the finished songs called "Dark Forest"...song #37 so you have to scroll down to the bottom of the list.

(EDIT: (4) songs from the video above are on this list also: Stops/Adversary/Fast As Fire/Guitars In The Storm
and one song from the "Full Circle" project is on this list and called "Toy Guns")

Of course, whether a project of this nature is appealing and cohesive is up to any given listener and much can be open to personal interpretations.
Personally, I just like to write from the imagination, my creative therapy, so to speak.

Hope that helps....keep us in the loop if you decide to tackle a project of this nature.

Carry on.
