Four pieces to get to know Ruben.

Inspired by the ever increasing interest we have gained in ourselves, about the love we share online, with text literally taken from Facebook.

Dialogue for piano, vibraphone and tape
Inspired by a night long discussion on economics, life and art on a music loving festival. (More information.)
