He is a guest member of the Corpus Christi Symphony, where his mom recently retired from her position as principal harpist, which gave him the opportunity to play timpani with The Electric Light Orchestra, open for Phyllis Diller, and also play big band drums with Sesame Street's Bob McGrath, as well as perform with David Amram and the late Sir Dudley Moore. He performs with his Mom and a Corpus Christi based jazz ensemble called "Touch of Class". He is also part of a project performing the musical compositions of G.I. Gurdjieff. In 2005 Mundi participated in a collaboration with Rumi translator/poet Coleman Barks and Austin musician Oliver Rajamani which is being aired regularly on Austin's public access channel. The event was filmed at Texas School for the Deaf on 4/29/05 by Texas Nafas, and there are some pretty cool pics at http://www.texasnafas.org/. Mundi recently returned from their first tour of northern Spain, which was an extraordinary experience for all band members. There are details to be read by clicking the Mundi link from this page.
His previous projects included Scriveners, Trance Farmers, Heiroglyphics, Orangutango, Marty Sosby, The Purple Martins, Repo Man, John Cougar Rabinowitz, The Offended Homeless, Happy Valley, Chris Sears, Todd Rusch, The Horrors of Ivan, The BBC, The Skinny Jims, and Dwarf Nebula.
Not to neglect my Corpus roots, there was Paradox, Cygnus, PUSH, The Stains, The Technobrats, and Matt Hole and the Hot Rod Gang
