Matthew Cooper(Eluvium)是一位Experimental Ambient音乐家，其音乐带着Minimal(简约主义)的意念及手法。Minimal音乐强调以重复的段落，利用音乐中的微细变动，呈现出音乐的层次感，令听者置身于意识流之中；这种表达方式近似于Post-Rock，而Eluvium的音乐就经常被拿来跟冰岛后摇滚乐队Sigur Ros比较，但显而易见的是，Minimal派系的电子音乐不如Post-Rock般，不会出现乐器暴发的摇滚张力，亦因而显得更游离虚幻。   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.
