A performing musician since his teens, Oyamada created his creative alter-ego (the name is an homage to the Planet of the Apes), in the early 1990s from the ashes of his previous project, Flipper&#8217;s Guitar.<\/p>\n<p>With the 1997 release of &#8216;Fantasma,&#8217; Cornelius gained international recognition for his cut and paste style reminiscent of American counterparts Beck and The Beastie Boys and was released internationally by Matador Records. Being called a \u201cmodern day Brian Wilson\u201d for his orchestral-style arrangements and production techniques, Cornelius subsequently became one of the most sought after producer\/remixers in the world, working with a wide range of artists including Blur, Beck, Bloc Party, MGMT, and James Brown.<\/p>\n<p>With 2002\u0092s &#8216;Point, Cornelius&#8217; music took a quantum shift, going from sampling \u201cfound sounds\u201d to looping organic elements and creating lush soundscapes. Using water drops as the rhythmic backbone of \u0093<em>Drop\u0094<\/em> on his vocoder-infused cover of \u0093Brazil\u0094, the album dazed and amazed fans and set the path for the next phase of his career.<\/p>\n<p>2007 brought this philosophy to an even higher level with the release of &#8216;Sensuous&#8217;. Cornelius\u0092 live shows are known around the world for spectacular visuals (all perfectly synchronized to the performance), custom lighting that doesn&#8217;t simply augment the performance, but becomes another instrument within it, and a full band of equally talented and diverse players.<\/p>\n<p>The companion piece to the album &#8216;Sensurround + B Sides,&#8217; earned the nomination for \u201cBest Surround Sound Album\u201d at the 2009 GRAMMY Awards.<\/p>\n<p>The summer of 2016 saw the release of &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/2016\/04\/29\/cornelius-announce-reissue-groundbreaking-fantasma-album\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fantasma Remastered<\/a>,&#8217; via Lefse Records. The package, a 2LP reissue of his classic album, also included 4 additional outtakes and earned Pitchfork\u0092s \u201cBest New Reissue\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Cornelius has recorded music for Edgar Wright\u0092s <i>Scott Pilgrim vs. the World<\/i>, scored the anime mega-film <i>Ghost in the Shell Arise, <\/i>performed as the backbone of Yoko Ono\u0092s reformed Plastic Ono Band, played the Hollywood Bowl with Yellow Magic Orchestra, and co-wrote and produced the Japanese artist salyu x salyu.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Cornelius, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/r20.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=0013mUAHCQ5FR9EKLI5tXOAU6bqKfRJnju8HChve67InkE8wJRtHsTnMnaAS0iybsavfHzBtBul-PkzutmboxUOsUrlrMG4FZUC-FVpFEyWkcWu11Zoh3NLiotOBrD3hcjyMpImLSam4X0xQ0htDKT09vrccu-amPhNyTW4myVVmEUDzvV6Y1Show==&amp;c=idKCqdv2450Z9vYPyiMpdegMk8QtVhbI3DbpKXoY_Pc9WME_QHBcjA==&amp;ch=swnDb7aBAAZc9585-3cyyZBDgbkVbeze3JWQ1JsykoW8llODsyw-TA==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">corneliusjapan.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Cornelius has\u00a0announced &#8216;Mellow Waves,&#8217; his\u00a0first new album in over 11 years, which will be out on\u00a0July 21, 2017\u00a0via Rostrum Records.
