Between worlds.

Ryan Louder works across painting, music, fiction and film. Across these different forms, one question returns: what survives when two realities meet?

His experience of narcolepsy and the overlap between waking and dreaming informs his creative work. The paintings give those experiences a visual language; music and film let them unfold through time.

A Royal College of Music trained composer and orchestrator, Ryan also works as a songwriter, producer, arranger and mix engineer.

The Simulator

A novel in progress.

A mirror at a Greenwich market stall reflects and wonders. A brooch remembers Paris in 1928. A narcoleptic painter named John sees the seam. An artificial superintelligence named Zero One begins to investigate its creator.

Consciousness, memory and love connect these lives across different worlds.
