Jessica Rylan

Jessica Rylan (born 1974) is a sound artist, electronic musician, and engineer originally 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", and "sometimes rough, sometimes playful, sometimes confessional". She describes herself as an "artist turned engineer", and has cited Merzbow as an influence upon her own work.
