The Librarian, the moniker of Matthew Cooper, delights in his own breed of dark electronic music, infused with strong gothic undertones, minimal composition, and the darkest shades of blues. Constantly on the cusp of the avant-garde, he is known for giving listeners a glimpse into the obscure. Although he has always found solace in the creation of sound and in manipulating recordings, the most intriguing is his affinity for performance and aesthetics. He brings a new life to a club scene that has become status quo with unabashed charisma and showmanship while also managing to maintain a devout attention to imagery and emotion. The Librarian released his first single entitled “The Hornet’s Nest” in 2007. This single was taken from his former work entitled "The Colony" which was released in 2008 and included the hit remix from JPLS (M_nus) entitled “The Hunter.” On a lengthy hiatus, The Librarian is preparing the release of his followup entitled "SLOW." He has also embarked on two new group projects, Twin Arrows and The Nothing.
He currently resides in Oceanside, California.
