Status update & New single

 I have a problem... Especially when it comes to memories, I'm a hoarder! I keep my musings, journals, pictures...and this blog! Then I revisit them...and get sucked in only to re-emerge hours later (slightly exagerated for effect hehe). I stopped writing on this platform because about this time last year, I started to use a new one. But per chance, I accidently on purpose came back to this blog...for old time's sake haha! Thank you reader. You reading this fulfills a need of mine. That of significance. Feeling that what I contribute is valued by someone else. I didn't...

Beatbox journey to the Caribbean - Part 2

As promised, this is PART DEUX. Here you can catch a glimpse of what a beach is supposed to look like. And as a bonus, my old school then my dubstep beatboxing. Apologies for the camera shakiness, it was amplified by Youtube (I used a "fix it" feature that was supposed to minimise it but in the end it made matters worse) A little digression. I'm reconnecting with my INFP self and researching about it the modern way: via Youtube. My first reaction is one of wonder - not surprising for an INFP. It's amazing how, no matter how different we...

Beatbox journey to the Caribbean - Part 1

Well, it's been a while but I'm back! I've been to the Caribbean. That's always a time of introspection. I guess that's what happens when you go back to where you grew up after along while. I've got a few videos documenting my trip in a very light fashion (beat boxing all throughout pretty much). Just uploaded the first one. I might upload the deep soul searching monologue ones too....MIGHT!...

New single out " Greater things"

What are you doing this glorious day? I've just done some jogging. Crazy huh? First time in absolute ages. No wonder I'm aching. But you know, today reminds me of the day we recorded "Greater things". It was as hot and sunny as today, and I was as much of a nutter as I am today. here's proof: here's a video and here's the song :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIo-CyDagDw :P ...

Rudiano is now on Soundcloud!

You can check my cinematic tunes here, my proper Caribbean oldies there or my top 5 tunes over here. At the moment of re-editing this, there's a bug on Soundcloud. If all easle fails, enter this address in your browser: http://soundcloud.com/rudiano Yes, I composed and performed them all (sometimes with fellow artists). Sit back (preferably in a hammock), relax (with glass of wine, liqueur...or rum - even better) and enjoy! :P...

Everyday I'm DA-BUH-LING, dabbling, dabbling

It's been a while, life has been rather tumultuous and exciting at the same time. Lots of opportunities, choices to make...I need to be more than one Rudiano to do all I wanna do! So for that reason I have no other choice than working on my writing projects unconsciously (by this I mean they are on the back burner) for now! Just an update on the Summer hit in the making: it's going to be recorded at the end of this month, all being well. I will post more about this later. Why not listen to some music while you...

Quick update

I've been working on an album for two years. But the amount of time I could devote to the project was reduced because of my addiction to doing many things at the same time! But here it is. This saturday, I'm recording my single.... A bit nervous!!!Why? Cause firstly I haven't exactly rehearsed as much as I would like - I'm leaving some room for inspiration that the studio may trigger - and secondly, I'm not sure yet how I will get there as my car's fan belt has decided to snap yesterday...Oh that brings a third worry:...

Nothing new under the sun….

When I was young, it was all about the Benjamins… Sorry, wrong “B”. It was all about B Boys… throwing windmills, beatboxing and rapping. Then that went out of fashion but now it’s back. Some other versions of break dance have emerged too (Boogaloo, popping, C walk, Krump)…but it’s pretty much the same family. Nothing groundbreakingly new… Then music-wise, I grew up with Ragga, Dancehall, Rap, Zouk and Zouk love… Now it’s Reggaeton, Garage, Hip Hop, Kizomba, Cabo, Candy Zouk… But I do struggle to see any striking difference in the genres of yesteryear and today. And of...
