About Me

A sound artist and electronic composer and performer originally from California’s noxious Central Valley, Ryan Tallman is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree in Electronic Music at Mills College in Oakland. As a performer, Ryan’s main interests are with the unconventional manipulation of the electric guitar through a metal piping “bow,” various pieces of conduit, and live analog and digital processing of these sounds as well as the digital processing of found sounds from field recordings. Ryan is a diverse artist whose sound has been described as pure visceral noise to ambient washes and drones.
