SoundClick artist: Benalu - Eclectic keyboard based sequenced and layered music

My band is a solo band with only one member playing one or more instruments simultaneously or sequentially. My other Band is 'Benalu B-3' devoted solely to the sound of and playing the B-3 organ.

Why this name?

It is a composite of several names

Do you play live?

Rarely, but I do play and demonstrate the different organ models, occassionally.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It is a format that gives reasonably good sound at one-tenth the size of the wav file of a CD. The internet allows people all over the world to access various types of music digitally and to view the sites of others at javascript:MakeCode().

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Yes but major labels are not really interested in
signing one-man bands.
