About Reuben

Interested in sound at an early age, Reuben began his journey into audio engineering by cutting and splicing cassette tapes together. This later turned into recording with multiple tape decks until the purchase of a four-track recorder got him started in real multi-track recording. Reuben has consistently been interested in music, and as such at the age of 11 he took up the drums. As the need to play with other musicians grew he moved to the bass, and then eventually he resided on the guitar.

Reuben completed a diploma in audio engineering in 2001 and since then has been involved with many productions of various kinds. Working for The Inside Track post production facility Reuben edited sound effects, atmosphere, dialogue and performed foley for many films. Some of his credits include the Academy Award nominated Whale Rider, The Vector File, This is Not a Love Story, Cupid's Prey and others including many short films. Most recently Reuben finished work engineering music for the film Rain of the Children (2008) which won the New Zealand Film Award in the category of "Achievement in Original Music in Film".

Reuben is a specialist in the area of computer based music production using tools such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Reason, Cubase/Nuendo and many other Digital Audio Workstations to produce music in a wide range of styles. He is currently a course coordinator and lecturer at SAE Auckland and actively records and mixes music when possible.
