Early years

Meg Lee Chin was born in Taipei, Taiwan, to a US Air Force electronics engineer and mother who was Taiwanese.[4] After building a radio at age ten, she worked as a sound engineer while studying experimental art and video production at San Francisco State University, forming her first band, Felix Natural, during the early 1980s. Chin went on to co-found the short-lived Teknofear with Lunachicks drummer Becky Wreck and Swans guitarist Joe Goldring; frustrated with American life, she spent the late 1980s living in London, and eventually formed the all-female band Crunch.[3]

Meg went to San Francisco State University where she recorded Faith No More's first ever demo [3] with Courtney Love briefly on vocals (It was later erased).

Debut album

Her debut album Piece and Love was recorded in her London flat.[2] Released in September 1999,[5] the album achieved critical acclaim on the darkwave, industrial underground scene and was hot-tipped in Billboard magazine.

Other recordings

Other works include a remix album Junkies and Snakes,[5] also released on Invisible, along with some remixed covers of Ministry, David Bowie and Dead Kennedys tracks. A notable track, "Nutopia", paints an apocalyptic vision of the future as a twist on Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl". Tracks have appeared on Showtime's "Queer as Folk",[6][7] Warner Bros. Records "Witchblade" [8] and "Sleeper Cell".[9]

Chin worked as an engineer for Underground, Inc. releases such as the 2004 release of What's the Word, Volume One, featuring Jello Biafra, Mike Ladd, among others.[10]

Personal life

Meg lives in London, England[3] where she has developed and co-founded a website, Gearslutz.com,[11] which is a pro-audio producer and sound engineer's forum.

gollark: What? We obviously doubled (and still double) the performance every 62 minutes, not 18 months.
gollark: Not contemporary GTech™ 512-bit quaternary-quaternionic-posit processors?
gollark: And they will never have more than 48 bits used for addressing.
gollark: This is valid as all devices have x86_64 CPUs, yes.
gollark: You should use 16 HIGH bits as a flag, as my x86 CPUs all appear to only have 48-bit virtual addressing.
