Eluvium
(blue) (whirring Marvels In) Consensus Rea
'Ocean Abyss' colored vinyl, edition of 500 copies. '(Whirring Marvels In) Consensus Reality' is the album by Eluvium. the moniker of prolific modern composer Matthew Robert Cooper. The album inherently deals both with humankind's need for meaning, and the emergence of algorithms reflecting the feedback loops of humankind's interactions with machines themselves. This complicated relationship that we have with technology, automations, and algorithms - and the influence they in turn have on shaping our image of the world - is the mechanized heart and soul of an album that almost instantly establishes itself as a peak in Eluvium's inimitable catalog. Featuring members of the American Contemporary Music Ensemble and the Budapest Scoring Orchestra.
