Amongst Myselves has started to combine his own film work with his musical pieces. "Auburn Silhouette" was released with a DVD featuring 3 short films created to accompany tracks from the album. "I've found that the film work I have been doing helps inspire the sound. I suppose it comes back to that sound track idea I've always had in my mind for Amongst Myselves. It allows me to be more literal in the track meaning where necessary" said Roberts.

Amongst Myselves has spent a good part of 2009/2010 working on a 'concert in your living room' performance to be videoed for DVD. “My experience in the film industry has continued with my interest in 3D graphics and timelapse filming. The show is based around a selected range of tracks put together with high definition video projections created by myself and fellow performer / visual artist Bernard Haseloff” says Roberts. “It's taking longer than I'd hoped. I've got two old friends helping me out but it's stretching their concepts of guitar playing and the like.”. The result is to be released as a DVD with surround sound audio track.

During this period Roberts has been released tracks for compilations most notably the track “He Who Bathes in the Black Sun” for the Dark Duck Download Project in the USA. Broadening his area of exposure he submitted the electro-accoustic piece “Humbert-de-Romans” to EuCuE Concert Series XXVII of electro-accoustic concerts at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, supplied field recordings for sound artist, Roger Mills' project “Idea of South”, a sound installation at the Loop Gallery in Newcastle. Finally, a track has been included on Spanish radio station Ultimae Frontier's “Lost Frontier.org sampler no. 11”.

Amongst Myselves latest work “Fragments” is planned for release in November 2010. Roberts says

I’ve taken individual recorded elements from my previous albums - “Still Life”, “Sacred Black” and “Auburn Silhouette” and arranged them to create the new pieces with the result being this album “Fragments”. I liken what I have done to KLF’s “Chill Out” of which I am a great fan.. It’s essentially a remix of my previous three albums, though due to the more ambient nature of my music those individual elements are less recognisable. In many places I’ve just used a single musical sound to sit alongside a field recording. “Fragments” relies quite a bit on field recordings to bring the whole album together into one flowing piece of dreamlike listening.
