Juno Daily – In The Mix: Eluvium’s Fear and Loneliness In The Dream of The Universe mix

Matthew Robert Cooper celebrates his new LP with an amazing Juno Daily mix

Eluvium – or Portland, Oregan’s Matthew Robert Cooper – isn’t one to shy away from big concepts.

The ambient/neoclassical composer’s new album (Whirring Marvels In) Consensus Reality is inspired by ontological relativism, a way of thinking said to be behind intelligence-mimicking tech such as AI and psyche-predictive algorithms.

However, the mix he’s put together to celebrate its release, weaving together Aphex Twin, David Byrne, John Cage and many more, has been created using the kind of instinctive genius no machine could, we suspect, ever learn. Eluvium has titled the hour long mix ‘Fear and Loneliness In The Dream of The Universe’, and it’s a sublime session that will transport you to places you’ve nevr been, we can tell you that much. Enjoy it now, before the robots rise, would be our advice.
