Matthew Rishaw;temporary terrestrial life form, observer, multi-instrumentalist, and part time recluse, mysteriously appeared at age three from an unknown origin.
Matthew spent his childhood at a very young age. This explains his reckless path towards individuality and eventually to years spent forgetting gravity and reversing probability. Without that compliance to become an indentured member of “ The Great United Industry", Matthew repossessed his soul and became a freelance observer and earthling.
Mr. Rishaw pursues a disciplined life style of complete self indulgence, a method developed by Matthew after years of enduring the claustrophobia of ordinary circumstances. He’s been greatly influenced by the subtle and lurking nature of the dream underworld, when words thoughts and broken images merge into one familiar moment, colliding with the absurdities of logic. His unorthodox approach to altered states of consciousness through audio experimentation could be the very roots of a new and limitless interpretation of artistic paradigms…. Or it could just turn out to be a relic life forms in the future might find repulsive.
Here so far is the “sum of some” of Matt's past achievements/failures:
Matthew experienced the joyful punishment and deeply convoluted world of "musick” through a fusion of Brasilian/jazz/ country western swing/ space rock/electronica…After spending too much time in stinky bars and” taco hell" Matthew then went to work on a diabolical master plan to assemble the monster hybrid self-contained studio unit known as “Total Orchestral Amusement Device” or “TOAD”. This is where Matt can be found, spinning knobs and tapping buttons with a demented laugh and a vacant stare .His obscured vision has been a contributing member of the “official underground “ on such projects as; sound tracks for independent films , some creepy audio files for secret cyber locations, incidental music for audio visual trade shows and numerous soundtracks for insomniacs (see discography) …Matthew is currently working on his “complete dream formula through audio atmospheric components” combining sound and hypnotic images…stay tuned.....
No one has dedicated their lives to peace so uniquely.. You have brought tranquility with your music to a world of Repetitive, predictable, uninspired, angst ridden moronic Factory preset bullshit! Refuse to buy mass marketed corporate fast food top 40 bargain bin designer Formulated Shit Musak or we will be oppressed by it forever… I have nominated you for the Nobel peace Prize… Your pal, Yhandi
Fascinating……. Just breath taking.. Which is not to mean it robbed me of oxygen.. Reminiscent of post-avant-garde abstract impressionist cartoon… I have sent you a check for $150,000 as agreed for the autographed sneaker.. I’ve named all of my children after you and only permit your music to be Played in our house… Your good friend, Paso
HI Matthew Just to send you, all the best wishes for the New Year! We’ve loaded a new song as a token of appreciation for all our friends in myspace. Hope you’ll enjoy it and travel with it as well.
About the song…. Visual music is what we do!!!! …So finish your day, get comfortable and grab a pair of headphones, and listen to “Before the year’s done” Give to yourself 6 minutes, time for you to wonder about in all of your hopes and dreams for the New Year. The future holds for us, as much as we put our minds in to. So let’s create, let’s fly with our minds far beyond our selves, and most of all, keep sharing our thoughts and creations.
The creative team of the Zulik Project wishes you all the best and a grate year. Cheers! ZuLiK
