The two went on to create 2 more releases for 12k: MOSS (also with Steve Roden and Olivia Block) and "Between You and The Shapes You Take". The initial sessions for that CD began as a soundtrack for Brazilian video maker, Eder Santos. Their first CD, "The Gorilla Variations" was released on 12k in 2008.
