BIO
Mr. Baguyos is Principal Bass of the Des Moines Metro Opera Orchestra and is a tenured full Professor of Music in double bass & music technology, at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
After graduating with a BM from Indiana University (Bloomington) as a double bass student of Bruce Bransby, Jeremy Baguyos began an orchestral career that included full-time appointments with the Orquesta Filarmonica de GC (Spain) and the Shreveport Symphony as well as freelance engagements that included, among many other groups, performances with the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra, the National Symphony, the Milwaukee Symphony, the Kansas City Symphony, and the Spoleto Festival Orchestras. He has performed under the batons of Leonard Slatkin, Mstislav Rostropovich, James Levine, Andre Previn, Placido Domingo, Valery Gergiev, and Michael Stern. Highlights of his solo and chamber music engagements include appearing as soloist with the Columbus Philharmonic (Indiana), as soloist with the Heartland Philharmonic, in multiple appearances at the International Society of Bassists Convention, and performing the solo double bass with the Orquesta Filarmonica de Gran Canaria on the Fourteenth Symphony of Dimitry Shostakovich.
His academic cognate is computer music, which he applies broadly, from "artificially intelligent" musical improvisation to S.T.E.A.M to audio forensics. He holds a Master’s Degree in Computer Music-Performance Track from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University and is active nationally and internationally as a composer, performer, and researcher in the field of academic computer music, with notable presentations and performances at the ICMA International Computer Music Conferences and publications with the MIT Press, University of London's SEMPRE, and University of Michigan/ICMA's ICMC Proceedings.
----------------------------------
Artist-Teacher Statement:
"On on my primary performance medium, the double bass, I endeavor to acquire and impart in my students, a technique that implements an eloquent and refined musical expression that is consistent, unencumbered, and pure, informed by formidable intellectual rigor and curiosity, grounded at the intersection of tradition and innovation, and often times mediated through digital representation/transformation and cogent interdisciplinary sensibilities."
----------------------------------
For orchestral contexts, he plays on a modified 7/8 Kolstein original series Grand Panormo model made by Barrie & Sam Kolstein in 1978, labeled #9. For solo playing he performs on a late 1800s double bass of Saxony and/or Czech origin, previously owned by bass legend Don Coffman. His primary creative research and teaching space in music tech is the Strauss Performing Arts Center's Studio381, which was featured in Audient's industry/trade magazine.
