Looking to learn a new piano piece?
Michel Corriveau and The Agogolab have just made the piano sheet for the musical piece “RU” available to all. The easy to learn melody is downloadable for free on the label’s website.
Enjoy!
We’re not saying it, they are!
After a very warm welcome across Quebec in December, with a near 2 millions dollars in box-office, the film RU crossed the language frontier, was released in the rest of Canada, and was equally well received. To quote the Toronto CityNews, “It’s an incredibly beautiful film about resilience and survival and a truly uplifting watch.”
“Alongside a beautifully minimalist score by Michel Corriveau that highlights the emotion underneath the surface, this film is simultaneously a painful and hopeful watch.”

On the occasion of the film’s release, Michel Corriveau and his label, The Agogolab, have decided to make available on all music platforms a musical piece from the original soundtrack. « RU » (single) is available everywhere, starting now. The rest of the soundtrack, which has received nothing but positive feedback since the film’s release, will follow in December.
It is with great pride that Michel Corriveau accompanies his son and daughter in a new adventure : The Agogolab. A composition, production and label company, the new brand aims the new generation : pluri-disciplinary projects, immersive experiences, experimental LPs, Jérémie and Florence Corriveau are all in to offer a new approach to the music-to-image industry. Michel will work with them as a senior composer and advisor.
One of The Agogolab’s first mission is to help democratize original soundtracks, by releasing, among others, Michel Corriveau’s music.

The moving trailer for the film RU has been unveiled to the public.
“Written by Jacques Davidts and directed by Charles-Olivier Michaud, Ru is inspired by the story of the author Kim Thuy. After a perilous crossing at sea, the young Vietnamese Tinh (Chloé Djandji) begins, with her family, a new life in Quebec where she will overcome the hardships, such as learning a new language and discovering a new culture. Karine Vanasse and Patrice Robitaille play two of the members of the host family who are sponsoring them. Ru will be in theaters on November 24th. – La Presse

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.
