Jessica Rylan

Jessica Rylan (born 1974)[1] is a sound artist, electronic musician and engineer from Boston, Massachusetts. Most of Rylan's work is based on the design and construction of DIY modular synthesizers, which she then uses to create a variety of sounds combined with her own vocal performance. Her work has been described as "a set of weird hybrids - noise pop, folk noise",[2] and "sometimes rough, sometimes playful, sometimes confessional."[3] She describes herself as an "artist turned engineer,"[4] and has cited Merzbow as an influence upon her own work.[5]
