Subsequent shows added a full band that toured the U.S. numerous times in support of two cassette releases and three full-length CD's [3]. Ray's Vast Basement shared the stage with many of today's leading indie folk figures, including Jolie Holland, Horsefeathers, The Mountain Goats and Thao With The Get Down Stay Down. The band contributed to a variety of compilations, most notably the Verse Press Isn't It Romantic [4] audio book which featured Richard Buckner, Jeff Tweedy, Jason Molina and David Berman. In addition to these recording efforts, Bernson also penned a short book that details a fictional mythology behind his creations [5]. Exray's Without explanation, Bernson abandoned the name Ray's Vast Basement in 2008 and adopted the Exray's moniker in collaboration with Micheal Falsetto-Mapp[6]. Exray's debut performance at SXSW was followed by a national tour and numerous unofficial live recordings. Exray's first studio recording (Ammunition Teeth) was released via cassette on 10.12.10 [7]. The band's first LP is due on 1.25.11 (Howells Transmitter). It features contributions by Nate Query from the Decemberists. Warren Huegel from Citay, Tim Cohen from The Fresh and Onlys, Dominic Cramp from Evangelista and Jason Kick from Maus Haus [8].

Soundtracks Since 2001 Bernson has written numerous soundtracks for theater and film. His most well known score is a cycle of songs written and performed for a staged version of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men in 2005. Two years later, this music was released as a critically acclaimed album called Starvation Under Orange Trees [11]. The Exray's song 'Hesitation'[12] was used in the soundtrack for David Fincher's major motion picture The Social Network, about the controversial founding of Facebook [13]. Vera Freitag's 2006 film In a Steel Box also features a full soundtrack of Bernson's original music [14]. Window Twins Window Twins is a collaborative group with Tim Cohen that led to an LP called I'm This Tall City in 2008 [15]. Window Twins began as a duo, but now includes Kevin E. Taylor, a multi-instrumentalist and prolific visual artist. The collaboration between Bernson and Cohen has taken other forms over a five year period. Bernson was a member of Cohen's Black Fiction and Cohen has contributed to Ray's Vast Basement recordings since 2006. Urban Music Program In 1997 Bernson started the Urban Music Program[16], an audio creation club for youth. Part of the Sunset Neighborhood Beacon Center in San Francisco, UMP has generated hundreds of original pieces music which have been released as a series of twenty CDR's known as 'Beacon Beats' [17]. Bernson's work in the UMP has also led to a series of experimental drone records under THEMAYS moniker. KNOWFI (the debut release) was put out by Gigante Sound in 2009 [18]. The club's dedication to DJ'ing was featured in Doug Pray's Scratch, an award-winning movie about the history of turntablism [19]. 1924 Franklin is a Car Since 2004 Bernson has shared a small recording studio with songwriter Michael Zapruder called 1924 Franklin is a Car. This space has been the main location for many of Bernson's recording projects and the site of many impromptu sessions with Zapruder. Other recording credits include work with Scott Pinkmountain, Black Fiction, The Lovely Public, Gene V. Baker, Anamude, P.A.F. and Raised By Spacemen.
