Matthew Cooper

 

 

 

Over  the  course  of  three  albums  Eluvium  (aka  Matthew  Cooper)  has  crawled  from  total  obscurity  to  his 
rightful place as one of American’s premier modern composers. His path to this point would not be so unusual 
were it not for the broad fanbase that counts him among their favorites. Artists as disparate as Death Cab 
For Cutie
Explosions In The Sky and The Album Leaf give their props to him whenever given the chance. 
In  fact,  of  the  nearly  20  new  Temporary  Residence  releases  last  year,  Eluvium’s  Talk  Amongst  the  Trees 
showed up on more Top 10 lists than all others combined. Even more surprising is the fact that his music is 
missing two traditionally crowd-pleasing elements: a beat, and a voice. That said, it’s safe to say that neither 
is missed in his case.

Tying  up  his  career  to  this  point  –  and  acting  as  a  companion  piece  to  Talk  Amongst  the  Trees  –  the  four 
pieces on When I Live by the Garden and the Sea showcase both the neoclassical piano-driven elegance and 
the tidal drones that he has become almost famous for. It takes his explorations in sound and vision to their 
logical  conclusion,  clearing  the  way  for  a  new  phase  to  be  unleashed  on  his  next  album  in  spring  2007. 
Whatever the future holds, we don’t recommend holding your breath for a tour with Death Cab.
