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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChiu’s previous solo album, 2023’s 'In Electric Time', was a first-thought-best-thought album recorded at the Vintage Synthesizer Museum in LA, and offered a narrower glimpse into his solo process and sound, essentially acting as a collection of studies \u0026amp; experiments à la Raymond Scott's essential 'Manhattan Research Inc'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e. The goal was for the work to be immediate, improvisational, and born of quick decision making. The operation was ultimately simple: Jeremiah Chiu, synth practitioner, finding his way around a very impressive collection of analog synthesizers, recording said findings to 8-track tape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Edge Conditions' expanded the aim of that approach to make room for a larger scope of vision, developing under a more nuanced series of self-imposed boundaries, limitations, and clarifying frameworks meant to help connect the threads of the disparate artistic worlds Chiu inhabits in a more patiently-considered way. The music was mostly written and recorded during February and March of 2026, with the composer operating both in isolation and with a select team of musical comrades, while also incorporating live collaborations, field recordings, and audio sketches going back years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e'Edge Conditions' is that full reflection and most definitely the first full-frame look at Jeremiah Chiu as a composer. Here, one of the most exciting artists in Los Angeles, a subtly ground-breaking new voice in contemporary music across the globe, finally flashes his badge and steps fully into the spotlight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Redeye","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":68047809085753,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0060\/2744\/4291\/files\/a3951378974_10_1.jpg?v=1794351634","url":"https:\/\/www.goingundergroundrecords.com\/products\/jeremiah-chiu-edge-conditions","provider":"Going Underground Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
