Manon McCoy
Collaboration between vocalist/composer Alice Brookes and composer/electronics artist Manon McCoy. Together they work on immersive performance art using the voice, live processing, found sounds and objects. Their performances draw from research into alternate performance practices as a way of exploring relationships with self and spaces. They create vast improvisations for voice and objects using live signal processing as an extended instrument. With DIY values at the core of this project, the duo have self built a rig for their performances, a combined instrument of electronics and objects, which constantly evolves with their work.
In 2025 they will be releasing a debut album, self recorded and produced, and mastered by Emmy Lambert. The album, ‘objects aligned out of time’ will tour as a live performance-installation in collaboration with sound artist Emmy Lambert.

Explores the dissonance between image and self and the challenge of questioning identity within ones practice. With field recordings of outdoor spaces
