Hello everybody, This is a re-post for all my new and not so new followers on Fandalism. I've composed this piece in 1982. It stayed in a demo form until 2008... That's when I did a remake of the piece for a music contest which I didn't win of course !

Thanks for listening folks.

I wrote this song in 1981. It had laid on the shelf for 20 years before I decided to revisit it and bring in a friend to re-write the words and add a bridge to the song.

Remonter En Amour - Richard Trudeau, Denis Rivard 2001

Here is a piece that has undergone major changes since its creation in 1988. The initial recording of this piece had remained in a demo form until I've decided to make a fully produced version with it.  Back then, these were times of great changes in my life... at all levels. With lots of hindsight, I later realized that those times had been more revealing and more beneficial for me that I've initially thought.

«Rupture» was the very first piece I had chosen to start with the "Kinetic Guitars Project"_unit # 1, in early 2013. You can find that "special version" of the piece right here on this page also...

Thanks for listening folks ! Peace and love to all of you guys !

Rupture (full production version) - Richard Trudeau (1988)2008

Sacred Fire - Richard Trudeau 2008

This piece came out of nowhere. I was fooling around on my keyboard when some interesting stuff came up... and from there the ideas were flowing and building up fast ! As it was growing, I thought it sounded like some kind of a ritual thing... so I called the piece, "Sacred Fire". This one is also featured in my 2011 album "Corps Et Âme".

Play the music loud, it sounds better that way !

Thanks for listening folks... Peace and love to all of you guys "

I'm Carrying | Let Me Roll It (P. McCartney) - RT's Vault Of Eras Band, 27 Décembre 2015

Hello folks !

Here we are again with another double feature of Paul McCartney’s music. These two songs had been hanging around for about a year before I was able to produce them in full. “Let Me Roll It” was initiated by Mark Taylor and myself as the last song of a McCartney trilogy we wanted to present. The first two songs are “Every Night” and “Dance Tonight” which were both previously posted here on my Fandalism page. As for “I’m Carrying”, I wanted to do that one for quite a long time too. I asked my friend Fred White if he would help me by putting his keyboard magic in the song… Fred is truly a magician in reproducing almost the exact keyboard sounds of any original song he puts his hands on. I’m so glad I was introduced to this great guy and musician earlier in 2015. We've played together in many other cool projects since we met. Projects that are still in preparation as I'm writing this text.

Bill Watkins is such an inspiring bass player, this man could write a book on all the great meetings he had in is life so far… He’s a fascinating character and I truly like the way he plays on his instrument. So inventive, I dig the way he expresses his musical phrases… Never will you hear Bill play the same passage two times in a song unless it’s necessary... A great quality in a musician. His kindness is certainly one of his main quality as well. He had stayed quiet for a long time before I approached him for some of these projects I had in mind.

RT’s Vault Of Eras Band always has a moving lineup, but as far as any beatles' music is concerned, my buddy Mark Taylor is certainly considered being a regular member of the band. His passion for The Beatles is very similar to mine, so… we’re stuck with each other for a long time, LOL !

I’m very happy to welcome my dear wife Isabelle as our backing singer. She loves it when I ask her to join me for some singing parts in a music project. She’s good and certainly can deliver the merchandise. I want to thank her for her great implication as well as my three other partners for their hard work and commitment ! 

You guys are beautiful !
Richard
