Cyrus Pireh is an experimental guitarist born on March 22, 1981, in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. He has studied a variety of instruments, including violin, electric guitar, saxophone, and percussion, as well as composition, music theory, electroacoustic music, and electrical theory. Cyrus holds both bachelor's and graduate degrees in Music Composition from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. As a composer, his works focus on sign manipulation to maintain an open interpretive field. As a guitarist, he explores the limits of the body and self as a means of achieving transcendence alongside everyday life. Anarchist in philosophy, Cyrus is dedicated to dismantling hierarchy and addressing the harm caused by the division of people into performers and audience, producers and consumers. He believes that in music, all sounds combine to create one harmony, and that humans in harmony can liberate one another.
