One of Muhs’ notable projects is his collaboration with Myles Boiden, titled “Notochord.” This album showcases Muhs’ innovative four-track tape loop system, which is complemented by the contributions of guest artists such as Gino Robair and Fred Lonberg-Holm. The result is a highly experimental and improvisational work that demonstrates Muhs’ willingness to push musical boundaries.

Another notable collaboration is “Truth & Lies/Lies & Truth,” which features a broad spectrum of musical styles. Muhs’ experimental and electronic leanings are evident alongside more traditional rock and folk influences. The album’s diverse track list reflects Muhs’ eclectic tastes and his ability to seamlessly blend genres.
