The Splice Girls

The Splice Girls are Manuella Blackburn and Diana Simpson, both Manchester-based electroacoustic composers. In live laptop performances they use the Max/MSP environment to sculpt sound into messed-up loops and shimmering soundscapes. They have performed in a number of venues across the North of England, as well as being featured at the Sonic Arts Expo 2007 in Plymouth. In 2007 they were artists in residence at Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida. They are both members of MANTIS (Manchester Theatre in Sound) and are currently studying at the Novars Research Centre at the University of Manchester.
