“Edge Conditions stands apart from anything else Jeremiah Chiu has released.” -AllMusic
“Chiu has spent years as an MVP in the underground niche where post-rock, post-jazz, and pure experimentalism overlap” -Bandcamp
"Chiu charges headlong into his own conceptions of Midwestern house and techno, knotting piquant arpeggios over drum machine loops." -Pitchfork
“Calling it 'electronic music' feels too limiting: Chiu crosses many genre boundaries on Edge Conditions, and each one feels exciting without feeling out of place.” -Paste
“11 adventurous songs feature ambient vistas, dance-floor calamity, full acid-bassline thrusts that sizzle, melodic snapshots heroically diving into smudged ephemera, and weird, half-time, beat-driven concepts.” -Treble
“[Edge Conditions] is a masterful, perpetually shapeshifting flex from a composer in full stride" -New Commute
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 quintet SML (including Spontaneous Music Live, which was named ‘Best New Music’ by Pitchfork just a couple months ago), Edge Conditions settles Jeremiah Chiu into a world of densely layered, tightly composed electronic music deviations in the vein of YMO spinoffs, Arthur Russell 12-inch mixes, Yasuaki Shimizu, classic Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, and Art of Noise. 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.
The album was mostly written and recorded during February and March of this year. Chiu operated both in isolation and with a select team of musical comrades, while also incorporating live collaborations, field recordings, and audio sketches going back years. Collaborators include Honer (viola), Booker Stardrum (drums), Ben Lumsdaine (drums and percussion), Patrick Shiroishi (saxophone and field recordings), Takako Minekawa (vocals and field recordings), Marquis Hill (trumpet), and Will Miller of Resavoir (EVI).
Edge Conditions is the first full-frame look at Chiu as a composer. Here, one of the most exciting artists in Los Angeles and a subtly groundbreaking new voice in contemporary music across the globe, finally steps fully into the spotlight.
