Jeremiah Chiu's Solo Debut: Edge Conditions in the Context of Improvisation Jeremiah Chiu, a key figure in the Los Angeles based improvisational quintet SML, has released his solo debut album, Edge Conditions.
This new work marks a significant departure from Chiu's ensemble experience and raises questions about the current state of improvisation. One striking aspect of Edge Conditions is its reliance on field recordings.
The lead single, "Plastic Mind / Elastic Machines," incorporates snippets of sound from Takako Minekawa, while Booker Stardrum provides a driving beat.
