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…

Leave a comment

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…

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!)

Hiyai all!

Just some short update on what’s going on:

There’s going to be a party on the 9th of March near Jerusalem, so ask around & be there 😉 It’s great to meet everybody again.

Also sorry for all those who I have had to turn back about gigs lately, I am really elbow deep with all my craft projects, so there’s not so much time to travel. I really want to all these things now that I have the perfect chance 🙂
But hopefully in the summer I have more time, and I’m able to do all the proposed gigs! Plans include already Sweden, Russia, Belgium… Keep tuned!
Also because of these other things, there has not been so much time to do music… But there’s things cooking. There might be some small EP in the spring, and a proper album in one year or so. But have no fear, I’m very motivated, there’s just not time for everything at once.

There’s also a new Myspace page, it’s another easy way to contact me, or just listen to some tunes at your working place  with that cool flash player 🙂 And also links to some other great artists on Myspace…

Suomen väelle tiedoksi, että soittelen 28.2. ystävieni vaalibileissä Wäiskissä. Tervetuloa sinne vain kaikki!

Autumn 2006 AVP party extragavanza

Leave a comment

Hmm sorry this is very late again, but I had some problems updating the site. Anyway:

The party Kellokoneisto organised in Gent  last friday went great, and I hope to have a few pictures up maybe next week. A big thank you to all the Belgian trance people and all who took care of me during the trip, and of course Max & co who made it possible in the first place 🙂

I am also playing with Celluloid Dmage in Moscow on Saturday 30.09., that is, the day after tomorrow. Ask around for more info, can’t give any info here now since I don’t have any 😛 Goddess Guerrilla CDs will be available so pack some extra doubloons with you to partake in the booty 😀

Love & light (as all ways), Kim <3

Shirts almost sold out + gig in Israel!

Ok, the tees are going fast, so if you want to have one for yourself, better drop the order soon! Goddess Guerrilla CD is still delayed, the summer is just _too_ busy…

Something very special is happening in Israel in the beginning of August, locals should keep their ears open 😉 It’s all arranged and happening unless the current political situation turns too bad… Let’s all hope for some peaceful solution soon, there has already been too many deaths on both sides! Anyway, the party is held in a very peaceful part of the country so there should be no problems 🙂

Also thanks to everybody who was present at Reclaim The Streets Turku! Here’s some pix.

OK, I’m moving to a craft school to study historic crafts for next year so I’m not sure what will happen to AVP meanwhile, I’m sure I have my hands full of projects there, but I hope to keep writing music and have another album ready for 2007… OTOH, one certain old AVP member has become more active again, and is showing some very nice new material, keep tuned 😉
