Bio / Background

When you listen to beat mining in dark places, you are really listening to Pi. Every sound, nuance, and word on this cd was born of her own creation. After working in several collaborative situations, Pi finally felt ready to tackle the whole enchilada - and with her usual 'can do' gusto set out to tackle protools and multi-instrumentalism with gusto. It was an unusually difficult birth- not only was Pi learning recording and production, but in the middle of the record she got blindsided by a serious illness called ITP. (See below for more information on ITP).

Most of 2004, Pi spent in and out of the hospital, and when she felt well, working on this record. As a result, beat mining in dark places, juxtaposes serious life questions, and a 'girls just gotta have fun' attitude, with Pi's trademark urban -pop -folk-hop sound. The result is perhaps best summed up by one of Pi's fans:

"Thanks for the performance and great lyrics. I read about your ITP.
