Spring hailings

Leave a comment

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…

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…

Back home finally & Space of Joy 2007

So the planned three day trip was extended into two weeks, and I ended up on the 6th Sun festival for the summer solstice. It was a really magical and beautiful gathering, and I can just say thank you to the organisers who made it all possible and did such a lot of work to make it all happen.
The solstice night with all the fires, mist and just fantastic people was really special!

I hope to have pix soon online from both the parties…

!Israel date updated again!

I am playing at the Space of Joy festival in Ukraine, happening between 25.7. and 6.8.! Wow, cool, I love the Ukrainan partypeople, and the Crimean peninsula is sure beautifu 🙂

There is also an outdoor party in Israel near Jerusalem on 17.8. It probably won’t be publicly widely announced, so ask around, as usual 😉 I’m also staying for a few weeks, so if somebody wants to book me for another party, now is a prime time to save a lot on the flight prices 😉 (I think it would be fair to share them between organisers?)

The BK Family party was great, now staying here for a while…

Thanks for everybody involved in last weekends’s festival for the BK Family’s 6 years celebration. I have some fantastic photographs from there, I’ll have to see when I can upload them.The thing is, I’m now staying for a while in Moscow, and I would be happy to play in some parties. So if somebody wants get a genuine Aavepyora live, it’s now possible and also quite cheap since I’m already here and don’t need a visa or train ticket 😉 Contact me at my email for discussions about the details…

Also, there has now been talks about a party in Israel in August, and some parties in Ukraine later this summer: keep tuned…

Ukraine was great, coming up Russia again.

The party near Kiev with Eraser & Yöjalka (& of course all the Ukrainian artists!) was fabulous, the morning was some of the best ever for me, especially the second set in the chill-out…
A million thanks to all the people who took care of me & travelled with me, it was such a great time 🙂 Pictures from the party are here. I have also some video, which I hope to upload next week. But first…

There is a party near Moscow this weekend, but since it’s not publicly announced, I can’t tell the details. But ask around, I’m sure it will be fantastic 😉

There has also been talks about a party near Moscow in the end of June, and a few parties in Ukraine and maybe Israel later this summer… But we will see.

And what else is going on? I just moved back to the capital from the countryside because my school ended, I’m a bit paralyzed by all the “civilization”… This is not the life I want to live anymore… Anyway, I made a nice gallery of my artwork and the things I’ve been working on at Deviantart, check it out!

All the music projects are frozen since my headphones are broken, and there is not really space to set up the speakers and not really even the computer in my small room where I’m staying for the summer. So, heh, please some big organiser book me and pay me a lot of money so I can buy new headphones and monitor speakers 😀 Because otherwise I have no idea when I can next continue with my music. And I want to.

Goddess Guerrilla is almost sold out, there’s only a few copies left so if you want it, you’d better hurry…

But anyway there will be a compilation this summer with some tracks from me from the last year, and also some other people I’m now talking about it with. Target release schedule is sometime in July.

I also still want to put up all my Psycle & Dreamstation project files, but me & the webmaster are so busy that I don’t know when I can do it…

Anyway, it’s silly to sit at the computer when it’s such a perfect summer weather out there! Go and enjoy it! 😉

Party near Kiev, Systo, future plans…

Hi, there is a great party coming up in Kiev on the 19th. Eraser vs Yöjalka is also coming, so if you miss this you’ll be sorry for the rest of the month 😉

Also sorry for not showing up at Systo, I had some serious confusion with some practical issues, and after talks with thte organiser, had to cancel the party at a last moment. BUT there might be some other parties coming up in Russia very soon, so stay tuned!

Also considering my previous post about piracy… What the hell. I decided that closing up is not the way to go, and I decided to create the world’s first open source music project. So as soon as we can fix them up, I’ll have ALL my previous music (except for the remixes which are negotiated by me with the bands and contain copyrighted material that I can’t obviously offer publicly) up for download in the sequencers’ formats…

So except a healthy dose of FT2, IT2, Dreamstation and Psycle files very soon here 🙂 There will be also some old tunes that I never got up to releasing, maybe somebody will find them interesting, or remix them, or

Butterfly Effect party went great & a word about piracy…

Leave a comment

Thanks for all the wonderful people at Australian Vibes, the place was just surreal, and I had a really good time there. Special thanks to everybody who took care of me, kept me fed, supplied with tea & so on, you know who you are!

Also some words about piracy:
I love when people copy my tracks around, that’s why we have this site, first of all! But what I do NOT respect is, when people ask money for it. There’s a lot of Russian MP3 shops selling my albums, which is first of all absurd because here the music is free, and secondly, commercial use of these tracks is forbidden by the license. Too bad that it’s practically impossible to take legal action against this kind of activity in Russia :/
Also, I heard of a record shop that is selling my CDs in Moscow for a pretty expensive price. The idea of somebody profiting from my 10 years of free voluntary work makes me quite sad and angry.

So what this means is, that my next album will not probably be available for free. I will manufacture a normal CD, and people have to pay to get the music. I’m a little bothered by this idea, but I just can’t allow some dishonest people profiting from work made by the goodwill of others… I’m working on the details now, but probably it will be self-published, unless I get a sensible offer from some label. (wink, wink…)

Also, we’re working on free full quality WAV versions of at least the latest albums. I hope this would cut the market from the pirate releases… We’ll just have to see if the server can handle it. I also probably will put up all my Psycle, Dreamstation and Impulse Tracker files at some point, for people to take a look at the tracks, make remixes and so on.

Stay tuned!

& See you everybody at Systo-palty gathering in two weeks! It will be fantastic!! (mm bringing my new tracks with me this time to try them out a bit<g>)

Phew, what a trip! Thank you for everybody who made it worth it and such a great experience 🙂

Photos from the party are UP!

Also as an afterthought, some reading about the inhumane situation in the Israeli occupied territories, courtesy of Amnesty International: Israel and The Occupied Territories – Road to Nowhere
Worth reading even if you are a resident, remember that the IDF and your goverment are constantly LYING about the situation to you, and the rest of the world!

I will be playing near Moscow on the 14th & also 30th of April. Ask around 🙂 It will be fantastic!

That’s all. I want some cake & tea now 😛 CYA!

Yo!

The Amanita party was fantastic, thanks for all the beautiful people who made the party so good! Pictures will be up after I’ll get back to Finland… Meanwhile, check out the afterglow on Isratrance.

There’s an one hour show of music & talk about AVP on 106FM next sunday, 20:00 (Israeli time). Also available on cable on channels 71 (Yes) and 321 (Hot). Foreiginers can catch the show on Internet here, I believe.

So, until next time (which might come sooner than you think!): rokk on & keep it pure!

(Oh, and upcoming parties: Russia, Sweden, Belgium… Keep tunered!)
