'Uncommon Folk', a New York City-based project has been Chatwood's main focus (other than The Tea Party) since 2006. The goal of the project is to raise awareness about misophonia (see also Sensory Processing Disorder). The music has a therapeutic character, in the style of ambient/folk songs, with a focus on down regulation and relaxation. Numerous vocalists have contributed to the recording of about 26 songs over 11 years for this project, including Glen Campbell, Mavis Staples, Jacob Dylan, Robin Zander and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Vocals and strings were recorded for this project in New York City, The Hamptons, Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix, Wales, Toronto and Vancouver. The first single "This Land is Your Land" featuring Glen Campbell was released in August 2017. The Mavis Staples song as well as the full album are being prepared for expected release in 2018.[8]

Completed projects with undetermined release dates
Chatwood was once a contender to replace the bass player of the Smashing Pumpkins early in the temporary post-Tea Party era (2005 - 2011). He was on a list of five or six male bass players being considered[8]
During the hiatus of The Tea Party, Chatwood was in talks with Craig Ross of Lenny Kravitz's band about forming a group with Jeff Burrows on drums and Jimmy Gnecco on vocals. After two to three months of chatting and meeting Craig backstage at an Aerosmith/Lenny Kravitz show there was chemistry, but ultimately there was an incompatibility of scheduling and the project did not move forward[8]
During his childhood, Chatwood was friends with Canadian electronic musician and DJ Richard "Richie" Hawtin. They shared a love of 8-bit computer systems such as Commodore 64 and Atari[8]
