Matthew Cooper(Eluvium)是一位Experimental Ambient音樂家，其音樂帶著Minimal(簡約主義)的意念及手法。Minimal音樂強調以重復的段落，利用音樂中的微細變動，呈現出音樂的層次感，令聽者置身于意識流之中；這種表達方式近似于Post-Rock，而Eluvium的音樂就經常被拿來跟冰島后搖滾樂隊Sigur Ros比較，但顯而易見的是，Minimal派系的電子音樂不如Post-Rock般，不會出現樂器暴發的搖滾張力，亦因而顯得更游離虛幻。 Eluvium is the moniker of ambient recording artist Matthew Cooper. Cooper is known for blending various genres of experimental music including ambient, electronica and minimalism. With a depth ranging from fragile to glacial, he takes dense layers of guitars and pianos and builds them into a fortress around himself. Resting comfortably and confidently in the spirits of Brian Eno’s most accomplished ambient pieces, Eluvium is a freakishly beautiful affair. Cooper’s latest album ‘Copia’ is considered to be his best work to date, and has been hailed most notably by the influential Drowned in Sound website. Eluvium is currently signed to record label Temporary Residence Limited. 更多>>
