Ryan Jor­dan (born Ip­swich, 1983) is a UK based elec­tronic artist work­ing with self made in­stru­ments and tools for live in­ter­ac­tive per­for­mance. His work is fo­cused on move­ment and the phys­i­cal­ity in live elec­tronic per­for­mance, noise and un­der­ground music, hyp­notic trance states, and D.i.Y cul­ture. He has per­formed and pre­sented his work in­ter­na­tion­ally in a wide range of venues from art and aca­d­e­mic in­sti­tu­tions to derelict ware­houses and squats.  In 2006 he started noise=noise, a spo­radic ex­per­i­men­tal per­for­mance event, which has show­cased many artists, aca­d­e­mics, hack­ers, dancers, and per­form­ers rang­ing from the in­ter­na­tion­ally ac­claimed to the un­der­ground lurker. He di­rected A10Lab in 2010 which was an ex­per­i­men­tal au­dio­vi­sual per­for­mance lab­o­ra­tory ex­plor­ing free and open-source soft and hard­ware.
