Jeremy Pagirsky is a New York based electroacoustic composer, multi-instrumentalist, and audio engineer. He is currently finishing his MFA in Sonic Arts at Brooklyn College. He creates music that prioritizes the physical and perceptual properties of sound by employing the harmonic series and various principles of psychoacoustics. His thesis will demonstrate this, sonically, through durational pieces that utilize bowed guitar ensembles and computers in multichannel audio settings.

As a performer, Jeremy was one of the bassists in Reg Bloor's ensemble that performed Glenn Branca's "Symphony No. 13 (Hallucination City) for 100 Guitars" at Lincoln Center's David Geffen Hall. He performed his original piece, Temporal Lobe at the Leonard and Claire Tow Performing Arts Center in Brooklyn. His piece, Trilogy//Trilogies, has been recorded and performed by the ETHEL Quartet, the Brooklyn College Contemporary Ensemble, and the Brooklyn College Orchestra.

Additionally, Jeremy earned an MA in Behavioral Neuroscience from Queens College. During his time there, he pursued research in pharmacology with Dr. Richard Bodnar and with Dr. Gavril Pasternak at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Afterwards, he worked at the Center for HIV Educational Studies and Training and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He continued his research endeavors in data science at the Flatiron School. For his capstone, he designed a convolutional neural network capable of predicting 27 species of birds from audio recordings.

Jeremy looks forward to implementing his experiences in research and technology into future compositions. Additionally, he hopes to bring his perspective from systems-based music into machine learning to help advance research in sound perception.
