What a great time we had last weekend with extraordinary musicians at Studio PM during the recording of the soundtrack of the film RU, directed by Charles-Olivier Michaud and based on the novel by Kim Thuy. What a privilege to work on such a creative and human project.

Mémoire liquide signe l’identité visuelle et le générique d’ouverture de Hidden Assets, une nouvelle série européenne de RTÉ One, Irlande et de AMC Networks Acorn, Royaume-Uni.
L’imagerie télé et la séquence d’ouverture développées ici, sont une évocation de ce marché noir de diamant: illégal, impropre, brut, violent et tranchant. Une illustration d’une réalité parallèle, imperceptible, tapie dans le noir, ne se montrant jamais à la lumière du jour, le côté obscur et brutal du monde des bien nantis. Créé et réalisé par Christian Langlois, créateur de multiples génériques d’ouverture : Versailles, Acceptable Risk, Nouvelle Adresse… ce projet est une belle collaboration avec le designer et l’artiste numérique Jan Verburg. L’excellente trame musicale est l’oeuvre du compositeur Michel Corriveau. Ce projet est une seconde collaboration entre Mémoire liquide et Saffron Moon (Dublin), Facet 4 (Montréal). Le dernier projet était l’identité visuelle et le générique d’Acceptable Risk, une série à succès distribuée dans plus de 50 pays par SundanceTV Global et sur RTÉ One.
En ondes depuis la mi-novembre, cette série sombre est une coproduction internationale de Saffron Moon, Irlande, de Potemkino, Belgique et de Facet 4 Canada. Le contexte est une vaste enquête policière mettant en scène l’univers du trafic de diamants en Flandre en Belgique et en Irlande: meurtres, disparition, terrorisme international. La série développée par l’auteur et le showrunner à succès Peter McKenna (Kin, Red Rock) a été tournée en Europe avec une impressionante distribution internationale : Angeline Ball (The Commitments, Bloom, Acceptable Risk…), Wouter Hendrickx (Bergman Island, Blackout), Simone Kirby (His Dark Materials, Jimmy’s Hall ), Peter Coonan (Peaky Blinders, Love/Hate), le Canadien Michael Ironside (The Alienist, Angel of Darkness). La série sera distribuée sur plusieurs marchés internationaux et sera diffusée au Canada en 2022.
Michel Corriveau has selected, in collaboration with Jérémie Corriveau (Producer, co-imaginator of the OST and son of the composer), the 23 best tracks from the 6 seasons. They made this selection in order to offer all music lovers as well as fans of the show, which was broadcast on Radio-Canada TV, a unique experience that will plunge them directly into the heart of this magnificent television series.
We are very proud to announce that Michel was awarded the Best Original Score Gémeaux award for True North season 5.
Speaking of which, Season 6 has begun post-production and the team is back to work!
My new recording studio in the heart of the city, injected a renewed energy to my work and the completion of several wonderful projects including the score composition for Just A Breath Away (winner of best film at Fantasia festival) and a second album, Omnitudes, with the precious help of my valuable co-producer Jérémie Corriveau. I also completed the new tv seasons of Boomerang, True North and the movie soundtrack of Radio Silence a movie produced by Incendo Productions, as well as the Air Canada Foundation ad directed by Olivier Staub. The year was capped off by a film nomination for True North at the Gémeaux Awards !
Watch out 2019… I’m already en route towards great new musical adventures!

Almost exactly four years after his highly personal debut album, OMNI, Michel Corriveau is back with nine new instrumental tracks on OMNITUDES.
OMNITUDES is Michel Corriveau’s second album, as deeply personal as his debut. The master of electro-acoustic ambient soundscapes combines a wide variety of sounds and instruments into atmospheric music at the intersection of emotion and high technology. As he puts it, “Omnitudes is an innocent look at our connected solitudes.”

Michel Corriveau composed the score for this co-production.
Offering an extremely literal translation of the term “high-concept,” Daniel Roby’s apocalyptic thriller Just a Breath Away (Dans la brume) heads to the rooftops of Paris, following a family of three escaping a deadly gas cloud that’s overcome the city below. -THR
