something in
something from within
the inside of the din
on the outside

calls again
ah but only when
the workhorse stops to listen
in mid stride

remember him
as if he’s always been
nearer than
the masters around

far away, hear the day
when work is play
and ennui gives way 
to a silent sound

“i did not mean to interrupt
as you drink from your broken cup
of me”

after many stormy years
i’m the only one who hears
the grinding of the gears
and the coming of worlds unclear
or a reason to paint my tears
in a portrait of my fears
lovingly

alone as i’ve ever been,
i am seen as i’m yet unseen
by the eye

he looks like me
one hundred planets wide
eye stretches on
across the great divide

and if someone who understands
gently lets go of my hands
i’ll grow wings

and as time does its work on me
i transcribe its melody
as it rings

and until i remember how
to say “can you hear me now?”
i will sing

Amos Fisher’s creative identities are many. 

His composition moniker Anomylos (pronounced "anomalous") tells stories within stories, shape-shifting between dialects of prog, punk, jazz, classical, and all kinds of folk music, in a basic language of artsong.  Self-described as "anti-chamber music", the journey is wrought with colorful reflection, angst, lyricism, contrapuntal word-painting, and arc.  Listen on (m)any levels as you wish- When the words and and even the music fade, the story continues...

The debut album "Anomalies" by the Anomylos Ensemble is now available on CDbaby, featuring 15 diverse NYC musicians playing Amos's own accompanying orchestrations of his songs.

Other projects involving or led by Amos are listed below.  Stay tuned for his new original edgy prog/avant-rock vehicle "Continue" featuring members of Big Figment and Th!ck.
