you should be using bandcamp

I love bandcamp.  Please delete your spotify subscription and buy music from bandcamp.  If you want your favourite musicians to make a living, Bandcamp is the way forward.

Artists there get 85% of what you pay, and you get to own a lossless (FLAC) copy of the amazing music.
Never trust the cloud.  Never trust in Spotify to nurture musicians and communities.

Sometimes it's nice to go to the Bandcamp front page and just watch the infinite scroll of albums being purchased in real-time.

I decided to follow my years-long passion for BC and putting some stuff up there.  It won't be much, but you should still follow me there too because it's just neat.

CPI - dark mix 2003

Here's a special holiday gift for everyone:  I was cleaning up and found an old backup disc that had a WAV file titled "dark mix" from 2003, so here it is for you.  13 years ago I recorded this mishmash of breakbeats and experimental sounds, with dashes of noise and speedcore.

download: CPI - dark mix 2003

It's a bit overblown, it's got a bit of line noise, it's a bit rough, but it's also kind of lovely to discover something I haven't heard in over a decade.


Please note the "unlisted" tag on this post.  I have tagged the random mixes I've put up on the blog that DO NOT APPEAR on http://thetastates.com/
Also there is another technically "unlisted" mix hidden on the page  at

From the performance press release:

“phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid… when the internal energy of the solid increases” A plinth, an ice sculpture, a body and CPI. Two years after a welcomed prophylactic massectomy, Cara Tierney reflects on post-surgical corporeality as sound artist CPI sonically weaves icebergs and high-tension metals. This presentation mimics a gallery sculptural installation and as such people are encouraged to come and go as they please and drop-in at their convenience.

Bonus release circa 2009, just added to the site:
CPI - Three Compositions For Dance 2009-05-14
For the final extended dance work in a performance by Lana Morton and company.
