He appears on recent albums by Chaka Khan, The Mountain Goats, Beverly Glenn Copeland and The Weather Station, and has composed music for theatre, dance, film and television - including the feature films Mississippi River Styx (with Joseph Shabason) and Caroline Monnet's Bootlegger (with Tanya Tagaq and Jean Martin), as well as the short film Caring Cabin with Beverly Glenn Copeland, which premiered at Criterion.
