The guitarist revealed on his official blog that some of the work for the project would also appear on the follow-up to The Who's 2006 album Endless Wire.
Townshend said: "In this case the songs are interspersed with surround-sound 'soundscapes' featuring complex sound-effects and musical montages.
"Floss will be a son-et-lumiére musical piece, intended for outdoor performance, or arenas."
He added: "As a 19 to 20-year-old, with 'My Generation', I wrote the most explicitly ageist song in rock. At 64, I now want to take on ageing and mortality, using the powerfully angry context of rock 'n' roll.
"Several of the more conventional songs from Floss will be featured on a forthcoming Who recording for release in 2010."
Earlier this year, a stage adaptation of Quadrophenia was performed for the first time in UK theatres.
