Jessica Rylan (born 1974) 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", 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.
