Jeremiah Chiu is a synthesist in the broadest sense of the word—a craftsperson of the modular synth and other musical instruments and tools, as well as an artist, designer, and educator whose work continually brings disparate forms of knowledge into new relationships. While widely recognized for his versatile electronic music as a solo artist, textured recordings in a duo with violist Marta Sofia Honer, and the experimental quintet he co-leads, SML, Chiu has simultaneously maintained a practice as a graphic designer and visual artist, developing a practice attentive to both the structure of technological systems and the contingencies of liveness and emergence.

For Chiu, visual thinking and musical thinking are not separate disciplines but different expressions of the same innate compositional sensibility. This point of view is born equally from his idiosyncratic sense of aesthetics and his capacity for a warm and porous exchange within a thriving community of creative collaborators that stretches between Chicago and Los Angeles.
