eNuminous & Archimedes is a musical project by Matthew Chenoweth Wright (ASCAP) with original lyrical and prose poetry woven together with electronic landscapes to achieve an art of sythesis and vision, recorded in 2005 and 2006 in sessions at invisible caterpillar media studios in Sacramento, CA. "Eyelid/Fetish" and "Citi Zen One" are the first two albums from this "virtual group" which consist of nothing more than Matthew, his trusty computer, a Gateway Pentium III monikered Archimedes, and a variety of softwares and microphones and musical instruments. Born on May 28, 1968, Matthew has quickly grown up into a very diverse human being. He has Asperger's Syndrome. He has strange spots on his hands. He likes cosmology and particle physics. He cannot read music. He doesn't like to follow rules. His music is the creation of the moment, a preformance art, mixed down and honed into a refined product. He doesn't keep any of the parts that go into the whole; after the mold is in disuse, it is then smashed. Imagine a mad scientist dabbling in Graphic Design, Magic, Music, Art, and Poetry, and also keeping cats, creating strange and wonderful things in his secret laboratory in Sacramento. At the time of this writing, his album of music, "Eyelid/Fetish" has been on no charts that he is aware of, and his friends ask him to stop playing it. Parts of it are definately not for most human ears, which is the point. Art isn't always nice. Dissonant nontemporality is sometimes the key to the awakening of new ways of looking at sound. His debut book of poetry, entitled "From Under Eyelids" continues on this theme. He has a calendar of CGI landscape art he created, which is also a big non-seller. His nascent publishing empire, invisible caterpillar media, is in fact in the black, having done work for a Yolo County vineyard, a television production company, several fine artists, an artists cooperative, a San Francisco based talent agency, and most if not all of the marketing materials for the campaign to launch Eyelid/Fetish and Citi Zen One for eNuminous & Archimedes. Yes, very soon, Amazon.com might start to sell some eNuminous & Archimedes CDs. One can only hope.

Lyrics
Hunting The Lions I. Summer Needles into the precipice Volcano mighty and wide bellied Swallows the cataclysm's future We cast spears into each other's agonies The ballet spirals over canyon rustic red sun whirls Action weighs actors the hours are long Unreal light sound the viewers catch fire Hollow basements and high offices Images lay siege The terrors of the unfortuned Become the terrors of entranced Free men who sit and wait Tonight the lions hunt anywhere be here we are washed The leap in faith Is the walk with the spear down The foot sure the friends true Balance amid wide open roaring wheatless fields The prowl is dancing might Asserting much destroying more The task is a footstep away And another, another the broiling sun II. Autumn Dreams fall on sleeping war-weary soldiers The hush of the night impales the stillness With memories of dust and the day's hard warring The breeze is colder now The sky freezes the drama pauses the old men look up Asking for a fair week extra the hunt drags The feet drag the snow flurries camoflages Gathering night and silence as a cloak The daggers march wild through silent houses Finding only sleeping men and women Barren fields cradling hushed Dwellings napping In the shelter of the storm the awakening Weapons find the storage shelves Dusty and wait for the felentless Snows the ceaseless howling Sit in the darkness sharpening Their fantasies outside of time Clutter of half-felt dreams Spiral away in a whimsey A flight of forcast startled blackbirds III. Winter Wiretap the sucess Alter bending circles of influence Corrupt the flow of thought Our public massed in search Of butterflies resiliant and deadly With science with a fine net Of explanation of words Deafened to the crackle of Fine leaves and blacked To the angry scent often hanging Shroud over winter white Eternal fields Gaps in sight in the knowing's incredible aeons Where chimeras dandy and entreat Us to the suffocation of chaos The cameras go up the stairs Massed in search for the center Which eludes the tightrope Cantors in circle in darkness Just out of grasp Spears fly into the night IV. Spring Etched in crystal Quanta all these timeless pathways Stand poised to change us Each second we move They multiply us Each look glance thought presence Each pass flash emotion sensation An army of futures The trees grow before our eyes The circles are joined departed rejoined Guns ready slogans armed flags and premanance Waving in a frozen wind We give sex to the sexless we feel the time Sharp cold glass crystal arching arcing illuminated Not blue not black etching sillouette flikker Endless fractal forever green but not green A pause of boundary's edges a look across To see the turtles stacked each with Fine flowers and jasmine incense the Taste of tangerine accompanying them As they pause in passing through the fields © Matthew Wright
