This San Francisco native got his start hanging out and eventually touring with the members of
Group 87, a late-'70s instrumental ensemble that featured
Mark Isham and
Patrick O'Hearn. With
Isham,
Chin attended a seminar conducted by
Brian Eno on applying advanced technology to music. The event was a revelation for the young guitarist, who was motivated to expand his horizons into the field of electronic music. ~ Linda Kohanov
