Jeremy Wexler is a musician from Long Island, NY. Studying the drum set from a very young age, Jeremy cites his deep immersion in rhythm, gesture, and timbres of non-pitched percussion instruments in his formative years as a strong influence on his current musical explorations. This has been the central basis of Jeremy’s compositions lately, which feature complex timbres, computer-based sonic analyses, microtonality, and the derivation of musical content based on various aspects of the drum set. He aims to create music that sounds naturally visceral and gestural, rigorously structured, and encompasses a wide emotional landscape.
Research interests:
