Other projects include solo performances as well as the drone/noise quartet Phantom Limb & Bison; the deconstructionist cover band Dirty Pool; lead guitar duties for cabaret art rockers Condor Moments; and improvised encounters with artists including Jozef van Wissem (Holland), Alessandro Bosetti (Italy), Chris Heenan (US), Nate Wooley (US), Burkhard Beins (GER), Tetuzi Akiyama (JP), and Ernesto Diaz-Infante (US). The boys are hungry, his collaboration with choreographer RoseAnne Spradlin is currently in production and will be performed at the Kitchen in fall 2008.
