Jeremiah Chiu's "Rococco Rondo"

In Session at VSM Los Angeles
short film by Burkie

On June 29th, 2023, Chiu walked into the Vintage Synthesizer Museum (VSM) in Highland Park, Los Angeles, with no plan more specific than “let’s fire this stuff up and see what happens.” After just two days of tracking and two days of editing, Chiu emerged with In Electric Time, an album of intuitive organic electronic music released by IARC (cassette/digital) on September 29th, 2023.

One of the things Chiu decided to do on day 1 of the In Electric Time session was deconstruct and recreate a version of The Ghostwriters' 1986 tune "Rococo Rondo."

This short film by Burkie gives a candid glimpse into that session, where Chiu (alongside VSM founder Lance Hill and engineer Ben Lumsdaine) listens, deciphers, and goes into a deep gear zone to program "Rococco Rondo" for performance on the museum/studio's extensive collection of vintage synths.
