Bio
Jeremy Grimshaw is a writer, scholar, teacher, musician, interdisciplinary collaborator, and arts
administrator. Also a lapsed percussionist, aspiring humorist, pretend acoustician, wannabe visual artist, occasional trail runner, semi-satirical motivational speaker, and hapless gardener.
He works in experimental music, Balinese gamelan, and interdisciplinary sound studies. As associate dean in the College of Fine Arts and Communications from 2015-2025, he was part of the team that proposed and designed the new BYU music building and concert hall. Dr. Grimshaw is the author of two books, The Island of Bali Is Littered With Prayers, published by the Center for Latter-day Saint Arts, and Draw a Straight Line and Follow It: The Music and Mysticism of La Monte Young, published by Oxford University Press. An adapted excerpt of his historical novel-in-progress, THE DREAM MINE, was recently published in the literary journal At Length.
