Jeremiah Chiu 'Edge Conditions' Album Release w/ Maral

Jeremiah Chiu brings a solo album-release set to Zebulon for Edge Conditions. The bill also names Maral, though the available lineup identifies Chiu as the performer and does not specify Maral’s role or whether they will perform. Presented by International Anthem and Zebulon, the night focuses on Chiu’s newly released work, a record the label describes as densely layered, tightly composed electronic music. Its contributors include Marta Sofia Honer, Booker Stardrum, Ben Lumsdaine, Patrick Shiroishi, Marquis Hill and Will Miller, but the advertised performance is Chiu solo.

Chicago born and raised and long based in Los Angeles, Chiu is a composer, synthesist and multimedia artist. He is known both for his electronic work under his own name and for recordings with violist Marta Sofia Honer, as well as co-leading the experimental quintet SML. He has worked with Ariel Kalma and moves within a musical community that includes Jeff Parker, Sam Prekop, Makaya McCraven, Josh Johnson, Celia Hollander and Takako Minekawa. International Anthem calls Edge Conditions “the first full-frame look at Chiu as a composer.” Pitchfork found it “most transfixing” when he leans into house and techno, while Treble called it a “wildly adventurous rollercoaster ride in synth.”
