She leads the improvising string ensemble VEER Quartet, the avant-jazz Sarah Bernstein Quartet, the poetic minimalist duo Unearthish, and performs solo with heavily-processed voice/violin as Exolinger. Ongoing collaborations include her noise-electronic duo with drummer Kid Millions, the experimental synth-pop band Day So Far, and ensemble work with trumpeter Dave Scott, cellist Tomeka Reid, thereminist Pamelia Stickney and others.
