Rudy Trouvé

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudy Trouvé (born January 28, 1967 in Wilrijk) is a Belgian musician from Antwerp. In the early nineties he founded the Heavenhotel label and released dozens of records since. Between 1993 and 1995 he was part of dEUS, quitting the band in favour of focussing on his own, more obscure music groups and temporary collaborations.

Since 1995, he scored most success with Kiss My Jazz and Dead Man Ray, and recorded a split album with Lou Barlow on the Sub Rosa label.

Rudy Trouvé is regarded highly as an improvisor; in jam sessions and experimental concerts he has shared the stage with Mauro Pawlowski, Zeitkratzer Ensemble (Germany), Marc Ribot (USA), Pierre Bastien, Pierre Berthet, members of DAAU, Zita Swoon,...

Being a former student at St-Lukas in Ghent, Rudy Trouvé is also famous for his artwork; figurative paintings and blow-ups which can be found on the record sleeves of most of his self-produced records.
