Description
Edge Conditions is the new album by Chicago born and raised, longtime Los Angeles based composer, synthesist, and multi-media artist Jeremiah Chiu. Following three electro-acoustic duo albums with violist Marta Sofia Honer (one in collaboration with late legend of minimalist music Ariel Kalma) and three heavily-fused trance-jazz LPs with his co-led quintet SML, Edge Conditions settles Chiu into a world of densely layered, tightly composed electronic music deviations in the vein of the YMO spinoffs, Arthur Russell 12-inch mixes, Yasuaki Shimizu, classic Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, or Art of Noise. Outsider deconstructions spun through the dance/chill cycle and lovingly rebuilt on California land. There’s an emotional, energetic arc here—a shining display of Chiu’s range and depth as both a composer and producer, in which every facet of his collaborative work and sonic personality feels represented without force.
Edge Conditions features contributions from many of Chiu's most dedicated comrades and collaborators, including violist Marta Sofia Honer, SML percussionist Booker Stardrum, saxophonist Patrick Shiroishi, and drummer Ben Lumsdaine; as well as appearances from trumpeter Marquis Hill, EVI player Will Miller (or Resavoir), and vocals and field recordings from Takako Minekawa.
