In 2007 he released his debut album "ZoiD Vs the Jazz Musicians of Ireland Vol 1" to critical acclaim on Diatribe.

He is a member of the Young Composers' Collective and the Spatial Music Collective, for whom he has composed pieces for Dublin Guitar Quartet (Flocculonodular Lobes of the Cerebellum '07), solo double bass (Universe Blues for Dan Bodwell, '07) and 20 voice choir (Three Meditations for Twenty Voices '07), as well as numerous electronic works for multi-channel audio.

He is currently working on a piece entitled "Chamber of Death, Life and the Flow of Consciousness through Time", for piano, drums, cello and violin, which will be completed in 2009. To develop experiential knowledge of the concepts for which the piece is named, Jacobson will be undergoing a year of meditation, sitting and serving at meditation centres in North America and India, which commenced in February 2008.
