Recordings from the Åland Islands

by

Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer

Chicago musicians Jeremiah Chiu and Marta Sofia Honer traveled to the Åland Islands, in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland, in 2017. Taken by the landscape, they returned two years later to perform a concert in a medieval church, and the recording of that session became the basis for this album, which mixes field recordings, that live performance, plus improvisations on viola, organs, synthesizers, and more. More meditative than the other albums on this list, Recordings from … is nonetheless just as evocative of a particular place.
