In popular music, a side project is a project undertaken by one or more persons already known for their involvement in another band. It can also be an artist or a band temporarily switching to a different style.
Usually these projects emphasize a different aspect of that person's or that band's musical interests that they feel they cannot explore within the boundaries established by their main project. Side projects can later become full-time endeavours, but should not be confused with quitting a band for a solo career or another band.

“The very notion of tabu is one of the rightest notions in the world. Better any old tabu than none, for a man cannot be said to be on the side of the stars at all, unless he makes refusals.”

“I wish to come to know you get to know you all
Let your belief in me and me in you stand tall
Just like a project of which no one tells
Or do ya still think that Im somebody else?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
