Chiasm (musical Project)

Emileigh Rohn is a solo artist who produces the electronic music project ''Chiasm'' sold by COP International records. She has released five albums; ''Disorder'', ''Relapse'', ''Reform,'' ''11:11, and Reset''. Her music has been featured on many compilation CDs, in the PC video game '' Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines'' by Troika Games, on the CBS television series ''NCIS'' and in the independent film ''Extinguish'' released by Outsider Filmworks. The name ''Chiasm'' ( Greek χίασμα, "crossing") comes from the biology term of the crossing of optic neurons in the brain that allow people to have continuous and peripheral vision (see Optic chiasm). ''Chiasm'' is produced in Detroit, MI United States.

Origin

At the age of five, Emileigh Rohn began taking piano lessons from her church organist, Mildred Benson, and eventually began singing solos in church. By the age of 13 she received a Casiotone keyboard and began experimenting with electronic music. In her final year of high school she joined an experimental/industrial performance art group called ''Inter Animi''.

In the fall of 1997, while studying molecular biology in Detroit, Rohn joined Calvin P. Simmons in his project Dragon Tears Descending (DTD) as a keyboardist doing performances and supporting other bands. Rohn then left DTD and formed her own project ''Electrophoretic Transfer'' with sampling from Shane Terpening by 1998.

Chiasm began in 1998 when Rohn began to entirely produce her own music with her first demo CD named "Embryonic" completed in October. Her song "Bouncing Baby Clones" featured on a Detroit Electronica compilation CD, ''D lEcTROnIc'', in the spring of 1999. Later that year, she signed to COP International records, and her first officially released track, "Chiasm" was soon featured on their compilation, "Diva X Machina vol. 3".
