Benjamin ("Ben") Hajioff (born October 23, 1980) is a British artist and composer of electronic music, under the pseudonym and0rod. He is not well-known, but has published several tunes on the Internet, and has had one ("Piss House") published by TEFOSAV records in a compilation album. He does not use his real name in his artistic life.

He was born in London into a middle-class Jewish family which according to his own account once lived in exile in the former USSR or possibly Persia, and he is a cousin of Dr. Steve Hajioff, a public health doctor who has broadcast regularly on a London radio station about medical matters.

He was a regular contributor to the Channel 4 forum devoted to discussion of the comedy duo Adam and Joe for about four years, where he was known for his surreal style of writing, until the forum was replaced early in 2003.
