Pictures section updated

OK, I spent an utterly boring afternoon and uploaded hudreds of pictures from all the parties in the recent years. Still need to do a few, but they’re almost all there! Enjoy and try to find yourself in as many pix as possible!

What else? All the planned parties for this summer have been cancelled, which is a shame, especially since I have been on counting on getting that money and spending accordingly. And I want to travel! So all prospective party organisers make note 😉

I finally also have more time now that I’ve graduated, so I’ve been thinking of releasing all my Psycle files for people who are interested in remixes and such. I don’t know though how much of use those files are, since the songs use a lot VSTs that people probably don’t have, and the worst of all because of the way Psycle handles automation, replacing the missing ones with something else will lead into the old automation still being redirected to the new machines, which gives for some interesting random effects… And since the automation data is interspersed with the note data in the patterns, removing the automation takes a lot of time too.

Still, I want to do that! I’ve also made new versions of some of my old tracks that I thought need reworking… I’ll think of how to release them, maybe make an own Bandcamp page just for the new versions so they’re easy to find and I’ll keep the old albums as a kind of snapshots of the time when I released them…

That’s all, have a nice day and remember to love your garden! And if you don’t have one, get one, it’s great 🙂

Site problems

Hi people!

I know many people have been wondering what is up with the site and the malware that many virus scanners report.

Well, that’s something I haven’t had any time to research because of other stuff in life, but now I’m graduated and unemployed so hopefully I can try to sort the site out.

What’s up otherwise? I’ve got something over 300€ as donations from the latest album, so it’s possible I might be able to do the CD this year. Also I will touch up some of the tracks now that I’ve had time to test them on dancefloors. Yes this all might seem like a slow process in the world of today, but hey, that’s my way. Speed and efficiency is overrated these days…

About next summer I still don’t know, there has been talk about Belgium, Russia and maybe Turkey, but we will see. I’m very open to all ideas! Especially I would like to come over to Macedonia, Slovenia and that general direction, so if somebody over there is reading this, drop a few tracks to your favourite party organiser and give a hint about me 😉

Also, I’ve begun working on some new tracks, and also making some music for a computer game, more on that later I hope.

Peace & take care!

Aavepyora saves the world!

I have been long concerned about the negative environmental impacts of my travelling, especially flying in cases when it’s nearly impossible to do the trip otherwise, like when going to Israel.

Starting from this moment, I will now give abut 10% of my each fee for environmental conservation projects.

The first organisation to benefit with a donation of 75$ is the Altai Project , who do important work in protecting the vulnerable Altai region in Siberia. Thank you Amanita Productions & all party people for making this possible!

The reason for this choice is my travels in that area last year. I was at once awestruck by the nature, and made very sad by thinking that in the future big challenges will be met it in this area to keep the place in it’s magical condition.

The Altai Project is a part of the Earth Island institute.

Respect the source!

Unemployed in Summertime

Me sends a hies to you all.

What’s up? Where’s Aavepyörä?

The answer lies thus: camping in ye olde woods, staying out, avoiding the internets and travellings. I want to experience the Finnish summer this year, so no gigs for now.

But between staying out and being lazy, I’m doing 18 hour days with my new album, “Kotiin haltiakansan luo” (that’s “Back home to the elven people” for the linguistically challenged You there). It will be very good. I’m also looking for a publisher for that, beacause I’m too poor and busy to do self-publishing anymore. So, label people: contact me with insance offers of money. I might even write you back if there’s enough zeros at the end of the deal.

I’m really excited about the sound, it’s SOOO good to work on a computer again, after doing tracks on the GP2X for the whole last summer 😀

Because, really, with all the travelling in the last few years, there has been zero time for musicmaking :/ And I just need to take that chance this summer.

Where do you want to go this summer?

Ok, the latest parties in Belgium & Russia have been fantastic, even if the police ruined the one in Moscow, we managed to have a really nice gathering on the first of May, with special guest: Perun! 😉

Next up is Kiev in just a few days with Puoskari, Lemon Slide & the local ppl, and after that, Samara on the 13th on June…

So, it all looks like this for now:
23.-25.5. Kaleidoscope – (Kiev)
13.6. Mars Attacks! – (Samara)
25.7.-2.8. Khan Altay – (Gorno Altaysk)

And as usual, I’m talking with several people about more parties in different countries, so except updates soon!

I’ve also had problems with our server, so I can’t update the gallery. Well, maybe later…

Spring hailings

OK, the long winter is now starting to be behind us, and it’s time again to shake away the crust of dust gathered in the dark times, and fix our gaze to the future, shining bright (oh, so bright!) in before of us.

What this means, of course, is that the party season has started! These are the currently (more or less) confirmed shows coming up. If you’re local, you’ll find them, no need to put more info here 😉

4.4. Antwerpen
25.4. Moscow
3.5. Izhevsk
8.5. St. Petersburg
23.5. Kiyev
25.7.  Gorno-Altaysk

And I’m sure, there will be some more coming up as we go on with the ride 😉

I would ask people to pay special attention to that last one, I believe it will be a very special occasion, since already the nature alone is a reason to consider the trip. I invite everybody to come there and share in the moment of the full solar eclipse, on the point of the Earth that is the furthest removed from the sea, in the ancient and magical lands of the Altai mountains…

Pictures from this summer’s parties!

OK, Space of Joy went fine, the set was one of my best, at 11 am with at least 30 degrees in the shadow, and people just still going wild!

So thank you for the organisers, all the party people, and especially all who took care of me when the sickness hit  me 😛 Phew, that was rough, but then again, I think almost everybody were sick at one point or another…

I have uploaded the pictures, and also the pix from the BK Family 6 years festival and the 6th Sun festival… In the usual place!

Next coming up the Moondrops party near Jerusalem, with Afgin, whee 😀 So all oldschool lovers, be there!

There might be a festival in Russia in the beginning of September, I saw myself already on the lineup, but the organisers haven’t really contacted me yet. I’ll try to be there, but it’s going to be tricky for several practical reasons… :/

Other than that, I finally seem to have some money saved up so I might be able to buy headphones and continue writing music 🙂 Yai! I’m continuing in my school for the next year, but I hope to do more music this coming winter… And also there is coming up the comp with some exciting tracks from me  & several friends around the globe 😉 Stay tuned, I’ll try to fix that one up after I come from Israel and get the moving to my new apartment (again….) done.

Oh and I put up some video at Youtube too… Looks crappy, I’m adding the original one to my gallery soon…
