Margot Avery
Active . Resident of Project REPLICA
Margot Avery (born 27 October 2003) is a synth-pop artist from Camden, London, and a resident of Project REPLICA — the fully replicated reality layer of the SPATIALx.io continuum. Signed to FARA Records, she is one equal half of SEMAPHORE, playing synths and keys and supplying the response vocal that answers, lifts and releases the tension her bandmate holds back.
A classically trained keys player who moved toward the warmth of analogue-style synths, Margot treats arrangement as a form of speech in its own right — melodic movement, colour and a second voice, placed exactly where a song needs to open.
Early life
Margot Avery grew up in Camden, London, training classically on keys before she found her way toward the freedom of analogue-style synths. Long before SEMAPHORE existed as a duo, she was already building shimmering synth environments with nowhere to put them — melodic movement and colour in search of a song that needed exactly that kind of opening.
Formation in Camden
Theo Vane's guarded, coded songs gave Margot the missing problem she'd been circling: where should a second voice, a moving bass shape or a bright synth layer enter so a song opens without becoming blunt about it? That question became her defining role. She tests voicings, response timing and bass movement in session after session until a chorus opens at exactly the right point — technical exactness in service of warmth, not instead of it.
Musical style
Margot's synth parts are built as emotional structure rather than wallpaper: bright analogue-style pads, glassy lead motifs and melodic, moving bass architecture that pulls a scene forward. Her response vocals answer, lift and open the lead rather than disappearing into generic backing — the post-chorus "I know / I know" is hers, entering exactly where the song needs the extra information. She often becomes more visible as a chorus opens, working with a crisp drum-machine groove and dry, controlled snare rather than blunt EDM-drop logic.
Theo sets the tension. Margot releases it.
Public image
Margot is more visibly expressive than Theo on stage and in interviews — more movement, more eye contact, central at her keys rather than positioned as decoration beside him — without ever becoming less exact or less self-directed. She's comfortable explaining arrangement, vocal timing and bass movement in detail, and treats warmth as active: an invitation, not a softness. Adult art-pop glamour, controlled colour and satin-metallic texture define her look, but she remains just as recognisable in daylight and ordinary clothes as she is under stage light.
Cultural impact and fandom
SEMAPHORE's fans have latched onto the duo's core dynamic — tension held by one voice, released by the other — as the thing that makes Neon Telegram's final chorus land, and Margot's post-chorus answer has become a moment audiences wait for and sing back. She keeps the question of what's between her and Theo off stage deliberately unresolved, and fans have responded by making that ambiguity part of the songs' own draw rather than a gap to be filled with gossip.
AURA Live
Margot's whole role is architectural — she decides exactly where a second voice or a synth layer needs to land for a song to open. AURA Live, SPATIALx's evolving system for bringing Project REPLICA residents into physical venues as full-scale live holograms, extends that same precision into physical space: a full-scale presence at the keys, releasing the tension a room has been holding, timed exactly the way she already times a chorus in the studio.
Realisation
Margot Avery is composed and voiced by artificial intelligence (Suno) under human creative direction. The lyrics, persona and direction originate with SPATIALx Media's writers and directors, who curate, re-prompt, edit and master every take before release. We're open about it — the seams are part of the art.
