Mary Timony Information

|
'Mary Timony' (born in Washington, D.C., 1970) is an American indie rock singer, guitarist, violist, and keyboardist.
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 the early 1990s 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 joined the band Helium.
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.
