He has created several motion picture and short film scores, including the features "The Blue Eyes" and "Chuy" for Mexican director Eva Aridjis. He also created the score to Tony Oursler's new film "Imponderable", which showed as an installation at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

He has released over thirty albums. If there is a common thread to his varied musical styles, it is a dramatic intensity and an evocative, cinematic quality. Thirlwell has also featured as producer, remixer, collaborator or arranger for a wide variety of artists including Karen O, Noveller, Excepter, Zola Jesus, Melvins, Swans, Nine Inch Nails, Lydia Lunch, Coil, Z's, Nick Cave and many more.
