Red Carousel (née Stringbeans) is Emma’s string quartet with whom she collaboratively composes all sorts of neo-classical loveliness.
Waitress for the Bees is Emma’s solo project using viola, electronics and vocals to write and perform songs about dinosaurs and insects that will make your heart hurt.
The Swing Vote is her mid-century Euro-swing party band. United under the banner of swing, this six-piece have banded together to uplift the jiving masses and spread the spirit of solidarity through toe-tapping tunes.
Snow Runners is her electro-pop duo.
