Cosmogramma is the third studio album by American music producer Steven Ellison as Flying Lotus, released by Warp Records on May 3, 2010. The album's recording sessions began in October 2008 in Ellison's apartment in Los Angeles, immediately following his previous album and the death of his mother. Besides using a laptop, a sampler and a drum machine, the album also incorporates live instruments. Cosmogramma is an electronica, experimental, IDM and nu jazz record. It features contributions from Laura Darlington, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Niki Randa, Thom Yorke, Ravi Coltrane, Rebekah Raff and Thundercat.
Cosmogramma was advertised with an "augmented reality" application called Cosmogramma Fieldlines, released for free. Though Ellison released no singles, he went on a tour through Canada, Europe, and United States in promotion of the album. The album entered and peaked at number 60 on the UK Albums Chart, and at number 88 on the US Billboard 200 chart. Upon release, it received widespread critical acclaim, with critics noting the eclectic, maximalist and Afrofuturist style of Ellison's production. In 2011, Ellison released the album's B-side EP, Cosmogramma Alt Takes.
