Marco Benevento Releases His Invisible Baby

Marco Benevento

Keyboardist Marco Benevento's solo debut studio album Invisible Baby, on the late Joel Dorn's Hyena Records. Invisible Baby was recorded in a trio configuration. Benevento, who usually plays in the Benevento/Russo Duo, utilizes acoustic piano as his main voice, but Benevento runs his piano through projector amps and Leslie speakers, coloring the tracks with Mellotron, Speak N Spell, banjo, a vintage church pump organ and all sorts of circuit bent toys which have become his trademark. Benevento's career as a solo artist began almost unintentionally when he set up a residency at the now closed improvisational music venue Tonic in New York City. Highlights from the residency were featured on the 3-CD set Live At Tonic, which won Best Album-Live Performance at the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards.
