NEW ALBUM (Pre-Order!)
The latest release of Benoit Viellefon & His Orchestra. (22 tracks live double album)
"GOING FULL CIRCLE (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)" is the latest album from Benoit Viellefon & His Orchestra. It will be available in full 90mn version to download, but a lot of people have requested a CD.
I am therefore preparing a limited edition of 300 CDs that will be pressed as soon as 100 pre-sales are recorded (downloads & CDs together). The CD will have a selection of the best numbers with a maximum duration of 74mn. Each CD will be numbered x/300 and signed. You can message me if you want a fancy dedicate. If you buy one, you will not be charged until I officially release the CDs. If I don't reach the 100 minimum sales you will never be charged and no CD will be pressed.

The good, the bad, and the ugly
The good:
Benoit Viellefon has performed, recorded and written for other artists until 2008. Since then, he started a solo career and has so far released 14 albums under his name.
Benoit has also arranged and recorded soundtracks for Netflix, ITV, Channel4, Hollywood films, European films and documentaries. He sometimes appears acting in the said films with his musicians.
The bad: (Bandcamp Always Delivers)
All the recordings are available exclusively on Bandcamp, not on streaming platforms which have too many adverts. People can listen, or download tracks and albums, even burn audio CDs or subscribe for a small fee to get access to the whole discography for a year. (All of this totally advert free!)
The ugly:
Streaming platforms pay hardly anything to independent artists, so Benoit removed 90% of his music from them. There are still a few singles available but limited to two by album. Get the links from the contact page.
