• 'Uncommon Folk', a New York City-based project has been Chatwood's main focus (other than The Tea Party) since 2006. The goal of the project is to raise awareness about misophonia (see also Sensory Processing Disorder). The music has a therapeutic character, in the style of ambient/folk songs, with a focus on down regulation and relaxation. Numerous vocalists have contributed to the recording of about 26 songs over 11 years for this project, including Glen Campbell, Mavis Staples, Jacob Dylan, Robin Zander and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Vocals and strings were recorded for this project in New York City, The Hamptons, Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix, Wales, Toronto and Vancouver. The first single "This Land is Your Land" featuring Glen Campbell was released in August 2017. The Mavis Staples song as well as the full album are being prepared for expected release in 2018. • 'Unnamed Project' with Toronto-based bilingual singer Tecla Burey. In November 2017 this project was considered a work in progress with an open ended completion and distribution date.

Completed projects with undetermined release dates
• 'Songs from the Chapel' with Jeff Burrows of The Tea Party, Crash Karma and The S'Aints, Todd Kerns of Slash/The Age of Electric and Ryan Dahle of Limblifter/The Age of Electric. The collaboration produced about 20 ideas and eight or nine recorded songs. The project stalled but Ryan Dahle was responsible for mixing the tracks and they may yet emerge. • 'Art Decay' with Toronto vocalist Kent Leggatt and Jeff Burrows, reportedly influenced by the sounds of both Nick Cave and Echo and the Bunnymen. An EP may be released in 2018.
Other information
Other information
• Chatwood was once a contender to replace the bass player of the Smashing Pumpkins early in the temporary post-Tea Party era (2005 - 2011). He was on a list of five or six male bass players being considered • During the hiatus of The Tea Party, Chatwood was in talks with Craig Ross of Lenny Kravitz's band about forming a group with Jeff Burrows on drums and Jimmy Gnecco on vocals. After two to three months of chatting and meeting Craig backstage at an Aerosmith/Lenny Kravitz show there was chemistry, but ultimately there was an incompatibility of scheduling and the project did not move forward • During his childhood, Chatwood was friends with Canadian electronic musician and DJ Richard "Richie" Hawtin. They shared a love of 8-bit computer systems such as Commodore 64 and Atari

Recordings and discography
The discography assembled here shows how Chatwood's work has been published in sound, not what Chatwood made. 11 sound issues are catalogued, carrying dates from 2003 to 2025. An issue is a published recording, distinct from the composition it carries, from a printed score of that composition and from any single performance of it; none of the entries below is counted in the catalogue of compositions above, and several of them carry the same work in different readings. The 2000s are the densest decade of publication, with 5 issues. The performers and issuing labels are as the discographic register states them; where it names no performer the article names none.
