I’m Cynthia’s Periscope, a Manchester based experimental electro pop artist.

I’ve been performing since 2014. In that time I’ve supported the likes of Thomas Truax, Bob Log, Kapil Seshasayee, Paddy Steer (808 State), Space Heads and Rodney Cromwell. I’ve also been featured on BBC Introducing and Fresh on the Net. With my single “Broken Window” receiving airplay on BBC Radio 6.

I draw influence from Synth Pop, Post Punk and Electronica. My music tends to consist of beats, basslines and synths overlaid with found sounds and lyrics varying from moments of fragility to complete catharsis. My live show consists of vocal manipulation and live electronics.

“It reminds me of very early new wave electronica. The rhythms are quirky and hook you in.” Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 6

“A wonderful fusion of the melodic and the occasionally macabre, a tricky, trippy sound that nods towards the dancefloor but also has a cerebral, emotive and soul-purging quality to it vocally and lyrically that you don’t often come across in electronica.”
Analogue Trash

“One of Manchester’s finest purveyors of art synth. Mixing punk, electropop and metal bashing among all manner of things, it’s catchy and pleasant one minute and terrifying the next.”
