Hey mates!

Greetings from the other side of the pond. I hope that everything is well with you guys. I'm posting here to update you on next year's little adventure of mine. I'm crossing the pond in February to do a tour in the US and Mexico for some six weeks before heading off back to Europe. I'm taking a sabbatical year to live and work on music in Barcelona.

The confirmed dates are as follows:

Feb 28: Austin, TX
Mar 7: Toluca, Mexico
Mar 14: Sonora, Mexico
Mar 21: Cleveland, OH
Mar 28: Asheville, NC
Apr 4: New York City, NY (!!) :)

As I am entering the US on the Waivers Programme, I'm allowed to stay for 90 days without having to apply for a visa. Hence, if someone is interested in taking the opportunity to have me over for a party after April 4, we could work something out, perhaps. Just let me know sometime during the next two weeks and I'll look into it.

At any rate, I can't wait to go back to the US!

Here's an extract from my MySpace:
After having moved to the city of Oerebro, Alex discovered his predilection for synthesisers as a result of Weirdo Beardo having introduced him to the world of sequencers in the Little Blue Men studio. Years have passed and today Alex a k a Kiriyama is one of the co-founders of the Swedish power house Devils Mind Records and the studio group Checkpoint Music. He's frequently collaborating with French producer Hishiryo which has resulted in a number of co-produced tunes having been released, all of them comprising Japanese themes and East Asian influences.
Although it's common that people categorise Kiriyama as nocturnal music, Kiriyama's sound has a goaish slant today since goa trance was the music with which he fell in love during the mid 90s. With some ten tracks already out and more in the pipeline, he's currently working on his debut album which is planned for the first half of 2009. Moreover, he's currently compiling a CD of Scandinavian forest music for the Italian label Inpsyde Media.

See you next year!
