Featured composer: REUBEN ESTERHUIZEN 👻

Reuben Esterhuizen is a composer and performer hailing from Guernsey, Channel Islands, currently based in London. Reuben’s work utilises minimal materials and intuitive systems, exploring both standard practices which focus on reiteration and sound, and the effects of layering and ambiguity; his work has been performed by ensembles such as Plus-Minus Ensemble, EXAUDI, Musarc, IKLECTIK, and more. Reuben is currently a Junior Fellow at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and he also enjoys working with choreographers and involving himself as a mover in collaborations.

"We’ve talked about decolonisation and native species going hand-in-hand. Decolonisation isn’t just a human thing, but also a question going back to the original language of the land, ecologically; the original rhythms, cycles, and species, which human colonial actions have often disrupted, or eradicated. That’s another way in which they all are so entwined."
