===Other music work=== In 2006, she contributed two covers ("Us and Them" and "Comfortably Numb") to ''[[Pink Floyd Redux]]'', a modern 12-track tribute to Pink Floyd.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://canada.mymusic.com/product.asp?curr=1&myptr=canada&muzenbr=100276016 |title=CD Details |work=canada.mymusic.com |access-date=23 May 2008}}</ref> Another notable cover in Slean's repertoire is her down-tempo rendition of [[Our Lady Peace]]'s guitar-driven song "Julia". Our Lady Peace has performed Slean's "piano" version of their song in their own concerts. Vocalist [[Raine Maida]] explained the origins of the piano version: "Weβre gonna do a song from our first record now, that was given to us on a cassette tape, a very different version, from a girl named Sarah Slean from Toronto..."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Sarah-Slean-Biography/F3D5383DF190C64C48256E5C002AF1D6 |title=Sarah Slean Biography |work=Sing365.com |access-date=23 May 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080531014041/http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Sarah-Slean-Biography/F3D5383DF190C64C48256E5C002AF1D6 |archive-date=31 May 2008 |url-status=live }}</ref> Slean was also featured on the [[Fox TV]] network as the pianist in Sunrise, the fictional town where bodies started piling up in ''[[Murder in Small Town X]]'', a short-lived reality TV series.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Murder In Small Town X (TV Mini Series 2001) - Cast Credits |url=https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0288379/fullcredits/cast?ref_=m_ttfc_3 |access-date=2023-03-28 |website=IMDB}}</ref> In October 2008, Slean performed at the first annual [[Canwest Cabaret Festival]] in Toronto. Slean performed sets of her own music accompanied by bassist [[Joe Phillips (musician)|Joe Phillips]] and drummer [[Mark Mariash]], and also contributed to multi-artist "songbook" performances of the songs of [[Leonard Cohen]] and [[Kurt Weill]]. In March 2009, Slean took part in the [[Juno Award|Juno]] Songwriter's Circle in Vancouver, alongside fellow songwriters [[Jim Cuddy]], Jacob Hoggard (of [[Hedley (band)|Hedley]]), [[Doc Walker]], [[Buffy Saint-Marie]], Vancouver upstart [[Ndidi Onukwulu]], and [[Hawksley Workman]], who hosted. She played two songs from ''The Baroness'', "Notes from the Underground" and "Looking for Someone". In 2009 she took part in an interactive documentary series called [[City Sonic]]. The series, which featured 20 Toronto artists, had her talk about performing at [[the Rivoli]] while attending the [[University of Toronto]]. On 18 April 2011, Slean chose a song called "New Pair of Eyes" from ''Land'', to be included on the compilation album ''Songs of Love for Japan''. She described the song as an "ode to the shocking wonder of existence". ''Songs of Love for Japan'' was available for only 3 days, with all proceeds going toward relief efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan on 11 March 2011.
