Announcement
From now on, Velladon will not release music on streaming stores.
Also, my very first album forbidden colors and my very first single DEMONS have been withdrawn from Spotify and all the other major platforms.
If youâre about to put out a new record, the ânormalâ thing would be:Â âPlease stream my debut as much as possible!â
But this record was the very first thing I put into the world on my own responsibility, and at the same time, it stands as the origin of my music and a symbol of freedom.
Thatâs exactly why I decided to pull it first.
From here on, all new songs and releases will live on Bandcamp and in physical formats.
In other words: no more dating apps with algorithms.
From the outside, it might look like âa guy unpopular with numbers finally dumped numbers.â
But behind it was a reality that wasnât so funny.
Spotifyâs CEO and his war-industry investments.
Apple Music quietly adjusting to censorship pressures.
Believe (TuneCore) getting caught in sanction-dodging debates.
If you stop right here, it looks like the story of someone who suddenly discovered the Truth online and joined the Illuminati-bashing club.
Relax. Iâm not wearing a tinfoil hat, I havenât fought the Deep State, and I have never been attacked by the Shocker organization or the Baltan aliens.
(Itâs true, though: for years Iâve sent opinions to the Prime Ministerâs Office as a weird hobby. Bureaucrats probably file them under âeccentric uncle.â)
Over years of watching this, I carried a quiet sense of discomfort.
âž»
Different circumstances, different actorsâ
but one pattern keeps showing up:
music getting bound up with war, with control, with systems of extraction.
Rock ânâ roll once promised liberation.
Now it looks like products rolling down a factory checklist.
At some point, âstreamingâ stopped meaning âflowâ and became âshrink-wrapped distribution.â
âž»
And the structure itselfâŠ
Music sliced into plays-per-month, artistsâ labor minced like sausages on a conveyor belt, all feeding the appetite of billionaires.
If streaming is supposed to be âproof of existence,â then Iâm fine with my originâand the music that followsânot existing there.
I donât want my songs turned into sausage meat, nor my name printed on the ingredients list.
So I pulled them out.
This is not a crusade, nor a moral trial. Itâs just deciding where to place my sound.
Not a big deal. Or maybe it is. But certainly not something that belongs next to the name on my bank account or engraved on my tombstone.
âž»
I know: refusing every shady company would be impossible, and absurd.
Take it to the extreme, and Iâd be lecturing the refrigerator and scolding the tap water.
So at least with music, I want some distance from the things that feel wrong.
Of course, this will not change the world.
But in my room, the air feels just a little lighter.
âž»
This decision applies only to what I release under my own name.
Other bands, collaborations, projects will still flow on the platforms, because those bonds of trust matter more than my private discomfort.
That contradiction isnât betrayalâitâs keeping the music open, not shutting it inside one manâs ideology.
âž»
This is my stance.
Not an order. Not a campaign.
I donât want everyone to shout, âQuit Spotify! Quit Apple! Quit Waves!â
Preaching isnât my style. Each artistâs way of survival is valid.
âž»
Perfection is not required.
Isolation is not the goal.
Choosing, by myself, is the point.
That, in the end, is the heart of this decision.
Soâhaving faced the original discomfort, I pulled the sound back.
From now on, Iâll see you on Bandcamp and in physical form.
