In this spirit, Reus’s music and performance draw equally from vernacular folk music traditions as from live-coding and computational data. He uses recombination, intervention, and modification of tools and technologies to uncover new narratives and imagine techno-musical futures.

A recipient of the W. J. Fulbright Fellowship for his work in research and development of electronic music instruments and sonic interaction design, Reus is also a founder of the non-profit cultural initiative iii in the Hague, and co-founder of The Platform for Thought in Motion. He was awarded the prize for cross-disciplinary education at the Leuphana University in Lüneburg, Germany in 2016, where he was associate lecturer of Computing and Coded Culture and helped design the Digital Media Bachelors program.

He has received multiple commissions as a composer and artist from Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Slagwerk Den Haag, and Asko-Schönberg Ensemble, including composing original music and devising a complex theatrical instrument of reel-to-reel tape machines and audio routing system performed by live coding for Brave New World 2.0, a nationally-touring ensemble production.
