Gamelan Bintang Wahyu: Jeremy Grimshaw
Dr. Grimshaw is the founding director of Gamelan Bintang Wahyu, which he established in 2008. He has studied and collaborated with some of Bali’s most esteemed musicians, including I Nyoman Suadin, I Ketut Gde Asnawa, Ida Bagus Mas, I Dewa Berata, and I Made Lasmawan. Most recently he organized an artistic residency at BYU with Bali’s best-known living composer, I Nyoman Windha, and his wife, the renowned dancer I Gusti Agung Ayu Warsiki. This residency led to an ongoing collaborative relationship between BYU and Institute Seni Indonesia–Denpasar, the national arts conservatory in Bali, which invited Dr. Grimshaw to speak to their faculty this past summer about the intercultural and interreligious experience creating a gamelan ensemble at BYU. Dr. Grimshaw has performed with gamelan ensembles for festivals, civic events, and private ceremonies throughout Bali, and was invited to perform with I Made Lasmawan’s “all-star” ensemble at the 2018 International Gamelan Festival in Solo, Indonesia. In addition to his work with gamelan, Dr. Grimshaw studies and performs contemporary experimental music. He is the author of three books: Draw A Straight Line and Follow It: The Music and Mysticism of La Monte Young (Oxford University Press); The Island of Bali is Littered with Prayers (Mormon Artists Group); and The Dream Mine (forthcoming). He currently serves as an associate dean in the BYU College of Fine Arts and Communications.
