Love this guy. Awesomely authentic artist. Talks with such honesty and ease.

Excellent interview. Ruban's approach to creating music from the muse, or subconscious, whatever you'd like to call it is inspiring..

[@spk8489]

Thanks to him for sharing his thoughts. I appreciate that he's willing to talk about the song-composition process. Interesting bits :)

Hurdy Gurdy! Class!

[@KayDuBrall]

wonderful interview.

[@bransonchase6249]

I wondered if he used the hurdy gurdy in extreme wealth and casual cruelty. Sounds like it, maybe at the beginning and the end mixed with the guitar solo.

[@mot00rzysta]

I'd just ask "why not use sth like mellotron [even a midi one or vst] in place of hurdy gurdy instead, if you wanted some strings" but hey that's just me. The interviewer could do better.

[@mot00rzysta]

sounds like Ruban being interviewed by Bullwinkle The Moose, I just can't.

[@MattieCooper10000]

Ruban talking about Lynch. Could it get more perfect?!!?

[@JasonSanders]

Ruban is Jesus

The way he talks and answers questions reminds me of Elon Musk.
