“In a sea of pedestrians, Reuben stands out as an intrepid explorer.” – Julien Wilson

Reuben Lewis’s practice is both singular and eclectic. As an active performer, composer and bandleader, he has refined a unique electro-acoustic language, devised through trumpet with extended techniques and preparations alongside live analogue processing with pedals and amplifiers, that is as much at home in a beer-stained nightclub or contemporary theatre space as it is on a hilltop in Malaysia surrounded by dancers and bull-trance shamans. Reuben considers improvisation to be at the core of his artistic practice, both as a vehicle for meaningful collaboration that transcends stylistic or disciplinary boundaries as well as a fundamental philosophy behind making new work.

His latest album of composed work, titled ‘Abstract Playgrounds’, was released in 2018 through the Australian independent label, Earshift Music. The album features his psychedelic jazz collective I Hold the Lion’s Paw and has been described by Andy Hamilton in The Wire: Adventures in Modern Music as “a beguiling stew of afro-beat, jazz-rock-inflected postbop, and electro-acoustic noise – and on a deeper level, one of the richest, most insightful examinations of Miles Davis’s early 1970s work that I know.”

Reuben was nominated for a Freedman Jazz Fellowship in 2018 and 2019 and was a participant in The Australian Art Orchestra’s Creative Music Intensive in both 2015, 2016 and 2019 as well as the inaugural MAP Delhi residency in 2015 with the Tony Yap Dance Company. Over the course of 2019/2020, Reuben has been appointed to the role of Associate Artist, as part of the Australian Art Orchestra’s Pathfinders – Music Leadership Program.

Contrabajista, improvisador y compositor de Valparaíso, Chile.

Brazilian born composer, producer and performer based in Berlin. My work has roots in soundscape and musical narrative, and currently my research is focused on silence. I hold a Masters degree in Music Analysis from the São Paulo State University, and have been a fellow at the 2017 Delian Academy for New Music. 
​
A composer awarded at the 3rd Gilberto Mendes composition contest (Festival Música Nova, Brazil 2008), my works have been performed by the Alter Ego Ensemble, Bera Romairone, Grupo PIAP, Orquestra Sinfônica de Santos, Leonardo Labrada, and Augusto Moralez, among others.  I write music for concert performance, site-specific sound installations, theater and audiovisual media, also having collaborated with artists Juliana Notari, Carol Neumann, and Flavia Mielnik, among others. 

I'm a co-founder of the sonic art collective invisibili(cidades), and frequently collaborate with the NME (Nova Música Eletroacústica). As a performer – electric bass, computer processing, and a variety of instruments from piano to percussion – I've played with Mauricio Takara (Hurtmold, M. Takara), Gregor Siedl and Lan Cao (Parallel Asteroid), Richard Ribeiro (Porto), Bruno Gold (Baoba Stereo Club), Felinto (Afro Hooligans, Noala), Beto Mejía (Móveis Coloniais de Acaju), Eddu Ferreira (Cosmogum), Tiago de Mello, and Julia Teles among others.
