Portland, OR resident Matthew Cooper records under the alias Eluvium. His ambient washes and symphonic guitar pieces would feel equally at home on a Brian Eno record or a Fennesz recording. His debut release, Lambent Material, was released on the Temporary Residence imprint in 2003. Cooper recorded five full-lengths for the label over the next three years (An Accidental Memory in the Case of Death, Talk Amongst the Trees, Travels in Constants, Volume 21: The Rescue, and Copia) before taking a short break and returning with Walden, S.: Maquettes / Sh'Mah / 5 Similes / Horn Trio (Spectrum Concerts Berlin) and "The Motion Makes Me Last" EP in 2010. ~ Rob Theakston, Rovi
