Work Experience

Ryan’s education and work experience have provided transferable skills ideally suited to build a career within the acoustics and noise profession. His artistic work has used electronics, sensors, software, minerals, noise, sound systems, live sound, acoustics and psychoacoustics. His live performances, workshops and exhibitions have been shown on numerous occasions internationally at places such as Subtle Technologies, Canada; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, USA; Sonic Protest Festival, France; Oficinas do Convento, Portugal; and Supersonic Festival, UK.
