Jansen contributed to albums by Annie Lennox, Perry Blake, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Anja Garbarek, and numerous other artists. In 2005, Jansen, Sylvian, and Burnt Friedman formed a collaborative project called Nine Horses, which released two albums and an EP on Sylvian's Samadhisound label between 2005 and 2007. The same label also released Jansen's debut solo album, Slope, in 2007. Jansen collaborated with Steve D'Agostino and John Foxx for an ambient album called A Secret Life, released by Foxx's Metamatic label in 2009. Jansen has released several instrumental pieces (often composed as soundtracks to visual exhibitions and installations) as digital singles, with plans for a second solo album. In 2015, Kscope Records began reissuing long out of print Jansen/Barbieri titles, starting with Lumen (a recording of the duo's only live performance, from 1996) and the 1995 studio album Stone to Flesh. In 2016, Jansen released his second solo LP, Tender Extinction, followed in 2017 by an ambient and orchestral reinterpretation of the release, titled Extinct Suite.
