About me
Born to vagabond stocking menders, Melissa grew up in abject poverty in the hold of a Spanish galleon, where her family made ends meet by tying them together. As soon as she was able, she hitched a ride on a tramp steamer and made her way to Hong Kong, where she fell in with a troupe of radiation sensors and learned the ways of nuclear fission. From there it was a simple step to becoming one of the world's foremost nano pianists, learning to perform on a piano .000000000001 mm wide, using an arcane technique known to the nano piano world as 'pinstabbing'. Currently, Melissa is on a virtual tour of the inside of her head.My work
