Dave is the only member of the live band, recreating his music with a concept he calls the "tonelift". Here is his description of the live setup.
"The tonelift concept was born out of the desire to develop a new form of presentation for some song based ideas that I have been working on for awhile. Rather than having a complete pre-conceived notion of how these songs should be performed, the pursuit is to blend the composition with an element of improvisation which will hopefully result in an enigmatic show, if that's not too lofty sounding! I also like the idea of the multimedia angle to present these tunes so I have asked for the help of some very talented filmmakers to add another dimension to the deal. The footage will change regularly to provide a different visual backdrop from show to show."
