He also did the music score for the Cannes and Sundance award winning film "Slam" starring critically acclaimed poet Saul Williams.



In 2004 DJ SPooky teamed up with Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo ina project aptly named "Drums of Death". DJ Spooky sort of elaborated on the project, stating:

"The drum is universal-- it doesn't matter if it's hip-hop, drum and bass or thrash metal-- it's all about that beat. Me and Dave Lombardo flip beats to a different drummer-- that's what this project is about: rhythm dialog, building bridges between scenes and styles."
