BIOGRAPHY Timony attended the Duke Ellington School Of The Arts in Washington, D.C., where she played guitar in the jazz band and also studied Viola . In 1990-91 Timony played guitar and shared lead vocals in the Washington, D.C.-based all-female band Autoclave . She later relocated to Boston , where she graduated from Boston University with a degree in English literature and formed the band Helium in the summer of 1992; the group disbanded in 1997 or 1998, whereupon Timony embarked on her solo career, recording albums in 2000 and 2002 (''Mountains'' and ''The Golden Dove''). In 2005 Timony joined with drummer Devin Ocampo; her 2005 CD ''Ex Hex'', released on the Lookout! Records label, features the two performing together as a duo. In the same year, she contributed vocals to Team Sleep 's premier self-titled album on the tracks "Tomb of Liegia" and "King Diamond." Timony's music is often heavy and dark, frequently using drones, beats, and melodies that are reminiscent of European Medieval Music . She uses a number of alternate guitar tunings, most prominent of which is DADGAE, which allows for the execution of melodic passages. DISCOGRAPHY Mary Timony
