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.

Chiasm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To light that shines against the knowledge that we break
And as you tear it down
I see the truth that binds your answer's frown
What's inside me?
I see what you can't find
I see what's inside me
What you can't find
I see you walk away
I cannot share the fate that I have seen
I know that what's to come is not so far away
And love is seen beyond the answers laid in front of me
Another way to see the path that leads me in my dreams
What's inside me?
I see what you can't find
I see what's inside me
What's inside me?
What you can't find
And here I wake to be embraced by love inside
Now I cannot hide
Now I cannot hide
You've grasped until you breached
All the light is gone
And waked before the night had dawned
Ponder my mind alone
Now I can see beyond your throne
What's inside me?
I see what you can't find
I see what's inside me
What's inside me?
What you can't find
The lyrics of Chiasm's song X-Ray encompass a journey of self-discovery and realization of love. The singer questions what is inside her, a part of her that awakens with the light shining against the knowledge that is being broken down. As someone tears down her defenses, she can see the truth that binds their answers.
The chorus repeats the phrase "what's inside me?" as a reminder of the ongoing pursuit of answers and the immeasurable depths to which we can explore ourselves. The singer knows that she sees things that others cannot find, and that love transcends the answers that lay before her. She cannot share the fate that she has seen, but she knows that what is to come is not so far away. She realizes that there is another way to see the path that leads her in her dreams.
Line by Line Meaning
What's inside me? A part of me awakes
There is something within me that is stirring and coming alive
To light that shines against the knowledge that we break
This awakening is in response to a revelation or truth that challenges what I previously believed
And as you tear it down
As others try to refute or discredit this truth
I see the truth that binds your answer's frown
I can see that their opposition is rooted in their own ignorance or misunderstanding
I see you walk away
I recognize that others may not be receptive to this truth and may distance themselves from me as a result
I cannot share the fate that I have seen
I can't help but be changed by what I have discovered and it sets me apart from others
I know that what's to come is not so far away
I have a sense of anticipation that more revelations or changes are on the horizon
And love is seen beyond the answers laid in front of me
I am realizing that the truth that I am discovering is rooted in love and goes beyond mere intellectual understanding
Another way to see the path that leads me in my dreams
The revelations I am experiencing are leading me down a new path, one that aligns more with my deepest desires and aspirations
And here I wake to be embraced by love inside
I am awakening to the realization that love is the driving force behind all of this
Now I cannot hide
I am unable to ignore or suppress this awakening any longer
You've grasped until you breached
Others may have tried to hold me back or keep me from pursuing this truth, but ultimately I have broken free from their grasp
All the light is gone
The old way of seeing things no longer holds any appeal or validity for me
And waked before the night had dawned
I am discovering things and experiencing a new dawn before others have even realized they are still in the dark
Ponder my mind alone
I am doing much of this introspection and self-discovery by myself
Now I can see beyond your throne
I am realizing that many of the things I had previously taken for granted or believed in without question were mere weapons in someone else's power play

Who Ever Plays Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines I Applaud You Because I Absolutely Love That Game, Even Though Its So Damn Hard I Still Love It. Besides Its Better To Be Hard Because I Love A Good Challenge. My Favorite Characters In VTMB Is Jeanette/Therese Voerman, Beckett, Nines Rodriguez & Velvet Velour. The Characters I Can't Stand Or More Or Less Hate Is Vandal Cleaver, Sebastian LaCroix & Kiki The Daughter Of Wong Ho.
