DER Collective & Owl Service
Roshi has contributed to records as diverse as 'New World Order' by Welsh Hip Hop outfit DER collective, and folk stars The Owl Service on their beautiful EP 'The Burn Comes Down'.
So and So Circus Theatre Company
Roshi was commissioned by award-winning circus theatre company, So & So to create music for Backgammon for Beginners: a multi-disciplinary piece, which was short listed for Jeunnes Talents in Spain, January 2010 

So & So then received Arts Council funding to further develop the piece. This resulted in a deeper collaboration with Roshi leading to her performing the music as a live score and co-devising and delivering dialogue. This acclaimed and unusual piece was first shown in Jacksons Lane in April 2012 before a nation-wide tour throughout 2012 and 2013.
