SANCTUM | alice brookes, manon mccoy and emma lambert + aellin
Join us on Saturday 4th April for a night of sonic explorations!
We’re excited to welcome sound artist and electronic musician Manon McCoy and vocalist and composer Alice Brookes to Sanctum. Together they work on immersive performance art using the voice, electronics, found sounds and objects. Their performance draw from research into alternative performance practices as a way of exploring the relationship between self and space. 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 due have self built a rig for their performances, combined instrument of electronics and objects, which constantly evolves with their work. The duo released their debut album April 2025 with Elektramusic Berlin in April 2025.
They are joined by sound engineer and composer Emmy Lambert for this site-responsive installation, exploring the acoustics of the space through live spatialisation during the performance.

Weaving together the acoustic instrumentation of a folk upbringing, synthetic granular textures and captured sound; Âellin forges new auditory worlds that embrace nonlinearity and experimentalism through narrative song and bold improvisation. The project evokes themes of collective memory, dream states, and the unconscious realm. Built around a dynamic four-piece lineup, Âellin’s sonic environment traverses genres with a deeply textural sensibility. Expect an intricate blend of fingerstyle and jazz guitar, cello and violin strings grounded in the UK/Celtic folk and Hardanger traditions, double bass, deep sub-bass, beat-driven percussion, and an ever-shifting tapestry of augmented vocals and granular synthesis.
‘Âellin is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the UK experimental folk scene' - James Threlfall, BBC Introducing
