Chiasm is a female solo dark electro project from Detroit created by Emileigh Rohn, on COP International records.
She started the project in 1997 while in graduate school for Biology in Detroit as a creative release from her studies, and has really captured a personal expression of herself in her music. She has been formally trained in piano since the age of five, and performed publicly as a singer since grade school through the present. Chiasm is signed to COP International records (http:/www.copint.com), and you can purchase her music directly through them as well as several mainstream vendors such as amazon.com.Band/artist history
I started the Chiasm project in the winter of 1997 while in grad school for molecular biology in Detroit as a creative outlet for my frustrations. In 1998 I self-released my demo album, "Embryonic", and played a bunch of shows while submitting my music to record labels. I was signed to COP International records in 1999 and debuted on their compilation cd "Diva x Machina vol. 3" in 2000. My debut album on COP, "Disorder", was released in 2001. I've continued to write new material and tour a bit since then, and have had several tracks released on compilation cds in the meantime. In 2003, COP released a remix album I had put together with labelmate TL5 called "Divided We Fall", in which we collaborated and each remixed five of each other's tracks for full-length album. My album "Relapse", was released in 2005 on COP International, and the "Prefrontal" EP on iTunes in 2006. Although sometimes my writing style has been hard to classify, the music I've written has mostly fallen into some aspect of the dark electro/industrial genre. Look forward to the new album, "REFORM", in 2008!Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, I do play live, usually a few times each year, and I highly enjoy the opportunity to share my music with fans in a more personal venue. Some of my favorite experiences have included playing with Assemblage 23 in Detroit, as well as headlining a solo act in Montreal. I've always felt that the numbers are less significant than the intensity in spirit of the people that share the music with you.
Your musical influences
In the early 90's I really enjoyed listening to Einsturzende Neubauten and Skinny Puppy as well as some Nine Inch Nails. I also really enjoyed the Japanese noise/art film, Tetsuo:The Ironman, which had some influence on me. I like the band Merzbow, and Kraftwerk, and then I like more mainstream artists such as Bjork and Kate Bush as well.What equipment do you use?
As far as electronica goes, I'm still a big fan of hardware as opposed to software. I use mainly Korg, Roland, Novation, and EMU boards and modules.Anything else?

And I can't believe you don't have 'Disorder' uploaded yet, I've listened to that song almost religiously, or 'Milkshake,' I'd love to see that climb the industrial charts to #1. Anyway, keep brappin', but without the drugs of course, because we all know they rape the mind.Love the music! Been following you guys since I accidently ran into your music on MP3.com! Even though the song is not available here, Chiasm 5.0 is my fav!All comments (7)

Ironic I come across someone who also shares delight in Frankenmuth! My wife and I are getting away in 2 weeks...love your music - I haven't done any really since the world welcomed our lovely kids, but I am slowly getting back into it. My brother turned me on to this site - he too has posted songs and collab'd with his fellow Project 5 artists. He goes by the name :10: (or ten). Enjoy the weather - hopefully winter is gone...
