Jeremiah Chiu

Jeremiah Chiu is a multidisciplinary artist whose musical output is deeply informed by his background in graphic design and community organizing. Based in Los Angeles, his sound identity is characterized by a 'geometric' approach to composition, utilizing modular synthesizers to create interlocking patterns that bridge the gap between ambient, minimalism, and fourth-world jazz.

His career reached a critical peak with the 2022 release 'Recordings From the Åland Islands,' a collaboration with Marta Sofia Honer that utilized site-specific field recordings and viola to create a lush, pastoral electronic hybrid. Chiu's work is often associated with the International Anthem label, placing him within a modern scene of artists who blur the lines between improvised jazz and electronic experimentation. Critically, he is praised for his restraint and his ability to make complex synthesis feel warm and accessible. His influence web connects the pioneering minimalism of Terry Riley with the modern modular explorations of artists like Suzanne Ciani and the rhythmic sensibilities of the Chicago post-rock scene.
