Based on a site-specific performance given at the Music Box Village in 2022, Dreaming of Yurumein weaves together music, dance, and oral histories that tell the story of the Garifuna people’s exile from their ancestral home of Yurumein, and their centuries-long struggle against colonization and erasure. This project was co-directed by Pedro Guity, Rü Sanchas, and Jeremy Thal.

Our first album, recorded in post-crisis Beirut, reflects the country’s struggle during a time of economic collapse, scarce electricity, and power outages.&nbsp; Our self-titled album was produced in collaboration with Lebanese musician Etyen, and released on the Beirut-based Thawra label. It grew out of recorded improvisations, with Samah on a 1986 Alpha Juno II synth, Dylan on drums and percussion, and Jeremy on French horn, melodica, and a worn-out OP-1. In 2025, a live recording of Ishtirak was featured as part of Fake Lines: Sono Levant,&nbsp; a compilation album featuring artists from across the MENA region. The majority of the revenue generated from this project will directly support grassroots organizations in Palestine.

We sometimes refer to our genre as “post-americana” because it reflects a desire to return to a life of simplicity, a way to reorganize human relations outside the context of apocalyptic capitalism, an affirmation of one of our mentor’s sayings: “Simplicity is the new wealth.” Formed in Brooklyn, NY in 2008, the Briars is the brainchild of second cousins Jeremy Thal and Gideon Crevoshay, and quickly grew to include bassist Greg Chudzik. Over the years the Briars have also included guitarist Simon Jermyn and drummers Tommy Crane and Chuck Staab. website→ bandcamp→ Instagram→ <img width="500" height="500" width_o="500" height_o="500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5a8f7ec0f3cdf4574fbaec96c5ee3af3b26571332728fbcb654547ba06a26d55/a1239855448_16.jpg" data-mid="244773682" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/500/i/5a8f7ec0f3cdf4574fbaec96c5ee3af3b26571332728fbcb654547ba06a26d55/a1239855448_16.jpg" /> In Death or Dreaming (2025) <img width="500" height="500" width_o="500" height_o="500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a68e696e564e49ff4e27f1cb0a2178d22741c51b0d6023858a9e877f1ff22c1b/artworks-000459441294-x85992-t500x500.jpg" data-mid="96003477" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/500/i/a68e696e564e49ff4e27f1cb0a2178d22741c51b0d6023858a9e877f1ff22c1b/artworks-000459441294-x85992-t500x500.jpg" /> Supermoon (2021) <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a9125e964a4981ab77560d5dd0ed126dd6514dd109dfcc3f90f0a4beea3cdf40/a1611500612_10.jpg" data-mid="96003017" border="0" data-scale="96" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a9125e964a4981ab77560d5dd0ed126dd6514dd109dfcc3f90f0a4beea3cdf40/a1611500612_10.jpg" /> Veins + Arteries (2015) <img width="700" height="700" width_o="700" height_o="700" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/96bd9a927bf0cbea04513a70808f3c384d579805cbc2ef7ef203ef44174dfd69/a2886179714_16.jpg" data-mid="135127430" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/700/i/96bd9a927bf0cbea04513a70808f3c384d579805cbc2ef7ef203ef44174dfd69/a2886179714_16.jpg" />Jonah “Live” (2020) <img width="399" height="400" width_o="399" height_o="400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/971e6e32c7055d06a41b5a49c4c89399d194d1b98a2aaf2658d67cf793353be7/orisis-cropped.jpg" data-mid="244773666" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/399/i/971e6e32c7055d06a41b5a49c4c89399d194d1b98a2aaf2658d67cf793353be7/orisis-cropped.jpg" /> Orisis (2011) https://jeremythal.com/Podcasts Wed, 31 Mar 2021 00:21:49 +0000 Jeremy Thal https://jeremythal.com/Podcasts Black Cowboys and other PodcastsMusic, EDITING, and sound design In the podcast world, I’ve been involved in production, mixing, editing, sound design, and music scoring.

Then passersby are invited to contribute any sound they want: to play a beat on a bad, to record a traditional song, to freestyle a verse, to talk about a dream they had recently, etc. Then those songs are remixed in real time, and more passersby are encouraged to add their sounds, creating a sound-stew that is impossible to recreate, as it’s the record of the creative energies coalescing at a particular place and time. Jeremy developed the Street Studio technique along with Chris Marianetti and Elena Moon Park in the summer of 2011. Here are link to a few memorable Street Studio projects: LUCERNE 2011istanbul 2016 ATHENS 2016QUERÉTaro 2022 <img width="500" height="500" width_o="500" height_o="500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8912b06908c4d5012bda83723067feb4c2980dad3df3a56d40f05836198618bc/artworks-000189515883-eo1eg8-t500x500.jpg" data-mid="97384012" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/500/i/8912b06908c4d5012bda83723067feb4c2980dad3df3a56d40f05836198618bc/artworks-000189515883-eo1eg8-t500x500.jpg" /> <img width="640" height="427" width_o="640" height_o="427" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/83a0c351d222b4f70c2315a59e2e5b7b6b44f573df185cbd765c178e4bf6c8ce/harlem-1.jpg" data-mid="220511112" border="0" data-scale="84" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/640/i/83a0c351d222b4f70c2315a59e2e5b7b6b44f573df185cbd765c178e4bf6c8ce/harlem-1.jpg" /><img width="1500" height="1000" width_o="1500" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84a35b358274270cbda73e024f54a5004c6bd2a48d3a99733ea81b86736c61d8/jt-smaller.jpg" data-mid="220513672" border="0" data-scale="76" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84a35b358274270cbda73e024f54a5004c6bd2a48d3a99733ea81b86736c61d8/jt-smaller.jpg" /> https://jeremythal.com/Unknown Mon, 01 Feb 2021 22:08:05 +0000 Jeremy Thal https://jeremythal.com/Unknown UnkownCollaboration with MITYA This is a song I wrote with my dear friend Mitya Burmistov aka MITYA. We produced this together in the depths of the pandemic. I wrote and sang/improvised this tune on one night in Mexico City and then sent it to Mitya in Kazan, Russia, and then in 24 hours he remixed it and made it ready for the big stage. It was then mastered by the masterful Chris Botta in Brooklyn, NY. https://jeremythal.com/Initiatives-Index Tue, 25 Aug 2020 17:34:33 +0000 Jeremy Thal https://jeremythal.com/Initiatives-Index Initiatives https://jeremythal.com/OneBeat Tue, 25 Aug 2020 00:54:56 +0000 Jeremy Thal https://jeremythal.com/OneBeat OneBeat OneBeat brings together emerging musical leaders from around the world to collaboratively create original work and to develop a global network of civically engaged music initiatives. Founded in 2012, OneBeat brings musicians (ages 19-35) from around the world to the U.S. for one month each fall to collaboratively write, produce, and perform original music, and develop strategies for arts-based social engagement. OneBeat begins with an opening residency, when Fellows collaborate to create original material, record new musical ideas, and incubate their projects. OneBeat fellows then go on tour, performing for a wide array of American audiences, collaborating with local musicians, and leading workshops with youth. During the month, each OneBeat musician also sets out their plans for the future, developing projects in their home countries linked to a mutually-reinforcing network of music-driven social enterprises. Jeremy co-founder OneBeat along with Chris Marianetti and Elena Moon Park. He worked as co-director of the program from 2012-2022. website→ <img width="1900" height="1267" width_o="1900" height_o="1267" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab8847ef82b795d0f82a16800544753b6b37eb1e6c20a33eb6e7da9771bc6810/1Beat_2019_Week_2_Tour-62-1900x1267.jpg" data-mid="96118683" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab8847ef82b795d0f82a16800544753b6b37eb1e6c20a33eb6e7da9771bc6810/1Beat_2019_Week_2_Tour-62-1900x1267.jpg" /><img width="1900" height="1267" width_o="1900" height_o="1267" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/749b430d78b0499b064e03927ecd20f9db8023bca5596b146a13152119977774/1Beat_2019_Residency_Week_2-151-1900x1267.jpg" data-mid="96118678" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/749b430d78b0499b064e03927ecd20f9db8023bca5596b146a13152119977774/1Beat_2019_Residency_Week_2-151-1900x1267.jpg" /> <img width="1400" height="700" width_o="1400" height_o="700" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5281e8405116a60ae9858672fd42a43e787bf404a8632b1c0f6dbbbc2ee9723b/1Beat_2019_Week_2_Tour-95-1400x700.jpg" data-mid="96118662" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5281e8405116a60ae9858672fd42a43e787bf404a8632b1c0f6dbbbc2ee9723b/1Beat_2019_Week_2_Tour-95-1400x700.jpg" />
