Although he may be best known for founding the seminal ambient classical projects Stars of the Lid, The Dead Texan, Aix Em Klemm, & A Winged Victory for the Sullen, he also has recorded, played, and worked as a live sound engineer for famed artists such as The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Labradford, Bedhead, The Bad Livers, Windsor for the Derby, Iron & Wine, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hauschka, and Sparklehorse.
Despite being rejected from the University of Texas' film school due to poor academic promise of the Arts, Robert Rodriguez created his first 16mm short film Bedhead which opened many doors for him.
