LA-based modular synthesist Jeremiah Chiu has teamed up with violinist Marta Sofia Honer for the release of ‘Mean Solar Time’, the opening track from their second collaborative album. The track brings together repeating minimalist piano loops and the tender soaring of strings and synths. The end result is a truly immersive feeling of introspection represented through atmospheric music. The album, Different Rooms, lands on June 20th, 2025, via International Anthem. They say: “This record marks an evolution in our approach to studio production. Our studios are side-by-side. When we were writing this album, you might have found us tracking viola stacks in one studio while, in the other, we were writing through-composed themes and rearranging the material. Granular synthesis and tape manipulation are key tools we use to create variation and movement in a composition. This process often yields surprising results, capturing the emotion but expressing it in unexpected ways. It feels essential that we embrace a bit of chance.” -Dan Peeke
