Olan Monk is a musician, performer and writer from Connemara, on the west coast of Ireland. Working with electronic and acoustic instruments and voice, they move between experimental and popular songwriting, performing both solo and in collaboration with others.
Their debut album Love/Dead (2020) and EP Auto Life (2021) paved the way for Songs for Nothing (2026)- a fragmentary, confessional journey where collaged pop, machinic rock and slow airs collide, channelling love, loss and landscape into songs that feel more like rituals than tracks.
Catch them at Synthese this May at @kapitaalutrecht. Tickets via link in bio.

It’s an immense honour to have Olan Monk play at ALTER 2026!

Their practice involves experimental and popular songwriting, performing as a solo act and in collaboration with other musicians, including recordings and performances with Actress, Ashley Paul, Elvin Brandhi, James K, Maria Somerville, Michael Speers, Moin, Princ€ss and Shampain. They co-founded C.A.N.V.A.S. with Lugh O’Neill as an events series and record label, established in 2018 to give collective agency to an increasingly dispersed community of artists.
