‘Conversations of Hope’ is now OUT! You can find it on vinyl and CD, or stream it across nearly all digital platforms. (Deliberately not on Spotifak)

I want to take this opportunity to thank Xavi and Naima for the incredible mastery they bring to their instruments. Making this record with you both was a true pleasure, and I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved together. I can’t wait to perform this music live and see where the journey takes us next! Please check my website for upcoming tours in April, July, October and December.

Huge thanks to Shayan for your amazing studio work and Noah for the videos - they look incredible. I doubt it’s the last time I’ll record in the beautiful Camaleón Music Studio.

To August and Sean, thank you for the mixing and mastering. You have, as always, truly enhanced my vision and made this record sound unbelievable.

And finally, thank you to Split for bringing the visual vision to life, and to everyone at Edition Records for getting this music out into the world!

It’s over to you all now. I’d love to hear what you think

Love, Jasper 💚

Hello Everyone,

Let’s get to it! I have finally decided to take my music off Spotify. I have had this thought for a long time but now the reasons for leaving are just too many. For those who are blissfully unaware here’s a few reasons to Boykott Spotify:

Spotify was founded on a false claim that they we an alternative to illegal download platforms like Napster etc. Founder Daniel Eek did countless interviews claiming that they were saving the future of music and that customers would now have a chance to support their favorite artists much more directly and that their money would benefit their favorite artists directly. This is a complete lie and has been debunked countless of times since.

Spotify has recently become so confident in their exploitation of the creators that they have recently introduced a rule which allows them to keep revenue for any track that does less than 1000 streams pr year. That accounts for 86% of all music on their platform. Yes, lets just take moment and let that sink in…. They are again lying through their teeth when they claim that tracks like these are mainly made by amateurs. Most Jazz does not do millions of plays on Spotify unless it gets plugged by the streaming giant on their own playlists which nowadays are more keen to prioritise music made by bots. Even if music doesn’t stream in the millions how can you deny compensating people for the actual thing you are monetising on your platform? WILD!

Spotify has also made special deals with composers hiring some on monthly salaries and making them sign over their royalties (rights) in order to produce as much mundane music as possible for a low pay. That music is now prioritised and pushed on their playlists in order for them to grab the money that would have otherwise gone to real artists and composers.

Spotify’s founder and biggest shareholder Daniel Eek has recently announced that he is investing 600 million dollars in an A.I Weapons company. This is his second investment in this type of company. In 2021 he invested 100 million euros in weapons company Helsing. As everyone else who invests in Weapons they dress it up in lovely buzzwords like ‘defense’ and ‘protecting’.

Taking my music off Spotify will mean that you will no longer be able to listen to it on that particular platform in the future. I will rather miss out on that platform then support crazy warmongering tech billionaires in their rush to destroy everything we hold dear for profit. The best way you can support me going forward is to buy my music directly from the Edition website or Bandcamp and of course, come to my gigs. You can still stream my stuff on Apple, Deezer, Tidal etc. but it goes without saying that buying the music in it’s physical form is by far the best and most direct way to support any independent artist these days. Offering the music in the form of notation is partly motivated by the fact that it’s getting more and more difficult to make any money on music. Next I’ll be selling off my old socks although I doubt anyone’s intersted in those lol. (If you are let me know and I’ll make you a great deal)
