Cover art for my albums has been provided by painter Gerhard Richter and artist, musician, and filmmaker David Lynch.

At the end of 2024, I worked on several re-creation compositions which utilzed sonic elements from pre-existing songs by Brian Eno and David Byrne, Nine Inch Nails, and Grimes, from their albums "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts," Ghosts I-IV," and "Miss Anthropocene, combined with new music by myself and other musicians.

I am working on the music and sound design for a video made for me by painter Gottfried Helnwein.

I'm also working on a new music recording project. Musicians taking part in this project are: Josh Klinghoffer (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Klaus Voormann (John Lennon), Stan Harrison (Talking Heads), Ben Somers (Seal), Parker Kindred (Jeff Buckley), Jarboe (Swans), Ghazi Barakat (Pharoah Chromium), Rob Burns (David Gilmour), Imogen Davey (Trio Farben), Camille Mandoki, Nicholas Currie (Momus), Barry Andrews (Shriekback), Alexandra Merl (Alphaville), Chris Worsey (Radiohead), Peter Hess (Philip Glass Ensemble), and others.
