Rubén Turba
Artist, Music
Spain
He began his musical practice in 2006, participating in the performance of a house full of music by John Cage in Madrid. In 2011, he co-founded the collective Madam, through which he has collaborated with musicians from the Wandelweiser collective (Antoine Beuger, Radu Malfatti, Michael Pisaro) as well as with others connected to that circle (Taku Sugimoto, Minami Saeki, Johnny Chang, Diatribes, etc.). With Madam he has released two albums on Edition Wandelweiser Records (sometimes by Michael Pisaro, 2017, and … of being numerous by Antoine Beuger, 2019).
A contributor to several specialized media outlets (Oro Molido, Ars Sonora on RNE-Clásica), he finds in collective improvisation certain ways of understanding composition, the relationship between music and stage, and ultimately musical practice itself as a political and communal expression—his main areas of interest.
