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 in 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" was featured on a Detroit Electronica compilation CD, D[elEcTROnIc]T, in the spring of 1999. By March 2001, Rohn released her debut album, Disorder on COP International.
Following Disorder, the track "Isolated" was released on the PC Game, "Vampire-The Masqurerade-Bloodlines" as well as used in an episode of the CBS series "Navy:NCIS" in 2003 coinciding with the release of the remix album with labelmate Threat Level 5 titled "Divided We Fall: The Remix Collection". The second full-length solo album, "Relapse" was released in 2005, also on COP.
Chiasm released a virtual single, "Prefrontal EP", exclusively on iTunes in 2006 through COP International. Her new full-length album, titled "REFORM", was released in September 2008! "REFORM" CDs are now available! Be sure to check out the new Facebook page, and keep in touch with her on Myspace where new remixes and random older tracks are also posted for streaming!
Emileigh is currently working on new material, an album called "11:11" and remixes/collaborations with other artists.

Fight
Chiasm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do you plan tonight
Can you see what I can't see
Will you put up with the fight
I will remain alone this time
Until I know for sure what's mine
Why can't you face the truth
Your ego's killing you
I hate your stupid lies
I can't believe what you've done now
The faith we had can't explain how
Your selfish games and cruelty
Somehow always comeback to me
I will remain alone this time until I know for sure what's mine
The lyrics of Chiasm's song "Fight" come across as a conversation that is taking place inside the singer's mind as she is reflecting on the difficulties that come along with a relationship. The lyrics are filled with raw emotions of confusion, uncertainty, distrust, and pain. The singer is asking her partner what they want from her, and whether they are willing to stick around for the fight. Her partner seems to be running away from the truth, not willing to face it and instead hiding behind ego and lies. The singer knows that she cannot be with someone like that and decides to remain alone until she knows what belongs to her.
The overall mood of the song is dark, haunting, and melancholic. The way the lyrics are sung, with a slow and steady beat, adds to the ominous atmosphere, creating an intense feeling of longing, pain, and the struggle that comes with relationships. The song's themes deal with the pain and difficulties of relationships, emotional dishonesty, and a sense of self-discovery, with the singer trying to figure out what she wants and who belongs to her.
