Eluvium |
---|
Eluvium is the moniker of ambient recording artist Matthew Cooper, who currently resides in Portland, Oregon. Cooper, who was born in Tennessee and raised in Louisville, Kentucky before relocating to the Northwest, is known for blending various genres of experimental music including shoegaze, electronic, minimalist and piano. His albums often feature artwork and photographs by Jeannie Paske.
Eluvium is currently signed to record label Temporary Residence Limited.
Matthew Robert Cooper and Miniatures
In April 2008 it was announced that Cooper would release a "solo album" under the name Matthew Robert Cooper. Writing on the Temporary Residence message boards Cooper explained the change "this is not far from something "eluvium" would release—but since i began writing them—i felt that they were somehow disconnected from eluvium—perhaps a different personality took shape—thus, the use of a different name - this work is very dear to me."[1]
Miniatures was slated for a Summer 2008 limited vinyl release on the fledgling Portland label, Gaarden Records. The album was limited to 2,000 copies with the first 1,000 on colored vinyl.[2]
Other projects: Window Exchange, Concert Silence, "Some Days Are Better Than Others"
Cooper has also teamed up with Charles Buckingham, with whom he has worked on the ambient video project titled Window Exchange, to produce the "unedited improvised basement minidisc recordings" of 'Concert Silence'. In the Fall of 2007, Concert Silence made 09.22.07 [2-3pm], a 51-minute, six part instrumental piece, available for free download at concertsilence.net.
In April 2010 Infraction Records will release "09.22.07 [2-3pm]" on limited edition vinyl and compact disc, alongside a new 12" E.P./CD titled "Rain Furniture".
Mr. Cooper is to score fellow Portlander Matt McCormick's feature film debut "Some Days Are Better Than Others". One of Mr. Cooper's original pieces can be heard in the trailer of the film.
