Black Emperor and Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra).[5] In 2005 Moumneh began performing live as Jerusalem in My Heart with a number of collaborators, a project with whom he has released two full-length records.[6] Jerusalem In My Heart also released a collaborative album with Suuns - Suuns and Jerusalem in My Heart- (whom Moumneh had previously recorded). As a recording engineer and producer Moumneh has worked with an assortment of acts including Suuns, Mashrou' Leila, ...And the Saga Continues, Matana Roberts, and Ought (band).[7]
In 2011 Ghazi Moumneh collaborated with Alexis O'Hara to create music for Montreal performance art drag duo, 2boys.tv's processional HIV/AIDS memorial Tightrope (2011-2016) which premiered at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto.[8]
