History of Jeremy C. Baguyos
Baguyos's interests in music can be traced to the early Apple computers, a Fostex multitrack recorder, and consumer-level Yamaha and Casio synths, a time when his peer group consisted of friends who played Atari 2600, watched original Battlestar Galactica, and played Dungeons & Dragons with dice and books. After graduating with a BM from Indiana University (Bloomington), 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 performances with the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra, the National Symphony, and the Milwaukee Symphony. He has performed under the batons of Leonard Slatkin, Mstislav Rostropovich, James Levine, Andre Previn, Placido Domingo, and Valery Gergiev. While gigging in Washington, DC, he performed with experimental electronic groups like the Peabody Computer Music Consort and the 21st Century Ensemble. Baguyos holds a Masters Degree in computer music from the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University.
