Dive into the enchanting musical world of Ruben Gerards, where every note tells a story of introspection and wonder at the awe-inspiring beauty of the world around us. At 32, Ruben has already left an indelible mark on the music scene, with his previous EPs Fractal, Manifold, and Archipelago achieving great success on streaming platforms and earning acclaim on national radio.

Last summer, Ruben embarked on a musical retreat in the English countryside, renting a small cottage with a grand piano for a week of solitude, songwriting, and exploration. It was an experiment—his first time dedicating an entire journey solely to composing music.

This retreat took place during a highly transformative period in Ruben’s life, where the isolation and focus proved invaluable, resulting in some of his most delicate and personal music yet. By the end of the week, he had written five new tracks, which were later re-recorded at Moon Music Studios and compiled into the England EP, set for release in the spring of 2025.
