is Spotify (and its distribution partners) retaliating against artists who boycott?

this video is about what happened after I removed my music from Spotify.

please reach out if you’ve experienced something similar

a few months ago i thought to put this up on the website. if you have an opportunity to host a workshop on any of these topics please write to me.

if anyone reading this is also thinking about these topics, please reach out! there's so much more that can be explored.

I have geo-blocked my music from Isr*el together with hundreds of other artists and music workers. 🍉 ✊

@eikoishibashi.bsky.social #tatsuhisayamamoto

thrilled to update this tour's schedule with an additional show - so excited to perform with Riki Hidaka again. the last time was with poketto, this time as a duo at Polaris on April 1.

to perform piano duets with a pianist of such brilliance and sensitivity as Fumi Endo makes the format a different premise altogether. Fumi Endo is an exceptional musician and I thank @point-ten-ten.bsky.social for organizing this duet with her at Koen-Dori Classics this week.

two shows this weekend at Ftarri with pioneer of the no-input mixing-board Toshimaru Nakamura. we are joined by Sachiko M generating sine-wave signals on Saturday 3/15 and guitarist Kyosuke Terada on Sunday 3/16.

no words to describe the honor that it was to play with the masters Otomo Yoshihide (@otomoyoshihide.bsky.social) and Hiroshi Yamazaki.

thank you to the wonderful audience, @point-ten-ten.bsky.social for organizing and Yokota-san for having us at Classics
