Jeremiah Chiu and Marta Sofia Honer at the Falcon Bowl in Milwaukee on October 3, 2025

Jeremiah Chiu and Marta Sofia Honer came to town last October on a short tour opening for the wonderful Bitchin Bahas. They played in the performance room at Falcon Bowl, which is located in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood. The alley first opened in the late 1800s and is one of the oldest continually operating bowling alleys in the country.

They presented a stunning 40-minute continuous set which combined Chiu's suitcase full of analog synthesizers with Honer's viola and percussion, along with field recordings. The music was drawn from their amazing new album on International Anthem, Different Rooms. It was evocative and hypnotic, and I can't wait to see this duo again.

Jeremiah Chiu at Acme Records and Music Emporium in Milwaukee on October 26, 2023

 Jeremiah Chiu is an electronic composer currently living in Los Angeles. He recently appeared at Acme records as opening support for Mary Lattimore. For this concert he performed with several synthesizers and also the slightly battered spinet piano which lives on stage at the record store.

This show took place less than a month after the release after the release of "In Electric Time," his most recent album on the wonderful Chicago-based label International Anthem recorded at the Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Los Angeles.

I was absolutely captivated by Jeremiah's improvised performance and I am so grateful that he allowed me to share it here.
