Music

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 nine 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.
