Jeremy Keenan's practice has involved the independent production of music in both live and recorded contexts. His works have utilised methods of live sampling, instrumental electronics, fixed media and interactive performance. Having performed at various festivals and venues in his native California, as well more recently in various locations around the UK, his music and sonic art have seen a variety of exposure.

Some of the various venues, festivals and collaborations he has been involved with as a sound artist and performer include the Bird's Eye View festival at the London ICA (as composer and sound editor), Boston Cyberarts Festival, the 2006 Maker Fair (both in collaboration with Visual Artist Michael Carter), The Rich Mix Cultural Foundation (as a part of Kaffe Matthews' Sonic Bed London project), Sonic Arts Network Festival 2007 (as a part of live electronics improvisation ensemble From Honey to Ashes), The Shunt Lounge (in collaboration with artist and musician Olly Farshi, as well as with From Honey To Ashes), the 2007 Shoreditch Festival as part of Matt Lewis' Mr. Shordy project, and the 2007 Foldback Festival, The Green Room in Manchester (in collaboration with performance artist Maya Zbib), FILE PRIX LUX 2010, the Accidental Festival 2010, the Museo dell'arte Fabbrile e delle Coltellerie 2010, as well as many others.

Jeremy has also provided Technical artistic work for Matt Lewis' Helicopter, as shown at the London Brazilian Embassy, as well as functional installation work for the Tate Britain.

His current line of exploration involves the development of new strategies in the fields of live electronics performance, studio practice, and sound based generative artworks.

He is a current Mphil/Phd candidate at Goldsmiths College, London. He is of no (known) relation to the anthropologist of the same name.
