Armen Nalbandian

happy it reached you this way, thank you Dan

your kind words mean so much. thank you Dan

This is my favourite record that I think basically nobody has heard. Never seen it written up. 12 owners on bandcamp.
Corsano's spattery hardcore-tinged playing meshes with Nalbandian's more jazz, Monk-ish mannerisms in a really satisfying way.

The Root of My Name and Why I Bend Pitches — Mangal Media I taught myself to play the piano at twelve… to impress my father, whose approval I’ve always chased.

On Resonance The wind has no sound

exceptional writing on sound by @jingyiteo.bsky.social 🧡

a special mention; this tour is independently managed, which means that for most of the tour, any support i receive is due to independent venues, promoters and other workers whose fervor for the music has blown me away. i’m thankful to be witnessing this exciting time in China’s creative music scene

i am beyond thrilled to share that i will be in China this December, taking Studies on Resonance and Dissonance on a solo piano tour.

A change of mind; a matter of sound Memo on this Substack’s refresh

no words can convey the impact @jingyiteo.bsky.social has had on my work

@bandcamp.com hey there friends, can we get some support to geoblock Israel from digital downloads?

Thank you!

They still ask for documentation of marketing campaigns deployed during said period, while also acknowledging there were none on my part.

Updates to follow.

Update re: Spotify/CD Baby “artificial streaming penalty” - After multiple emails, CD Baby has offered to submit an appeal on my behalf to have the penalty charged reverted by Spotify.

Thank you so much! I will be sure to share all updates

Yes!

Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you Jos! The positive is that I’m more invigorated than ever to challenge the way things are

Thank you so much for pointing me the right direction! I really appreciate your support 🧡

Thank you for sharing this! It’s quite concerning to see the brazenness of these platforms in how they exploit artists

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. 🍉 ✊

nomusicforgenocide.org

within the next 30 days, all my music will be removed from spotify. most of it can be streamed on alternative platforms and my full discography is available through bandcamp — all of which are far from perfect, but incomplete choice should not keel us into relinquishing any remnant of agency.
