Among his notable works are the albums Space Is Only Noise (2011), Sirens (2016), and Cenizas (2020). He has also released three albums as one half of his band Darkside (Psychic, 2013, Spiral, 2021 and Nothing, 2025) and two further albums under the alias Against All Logic.
After folding his record label Clown & Sunset in 2013, Jaar founded Other People and has since released many experimental recordings through the imprint, including works by Lydia Lunch, Pierre Bastien, John Wall and Lucrecia Dalt.
