DIGITAL ONLY - 24/48khz file only - not a CD.

"Standing up to the visuals with equal muscle is a tremendous, Zimmer-esque score by Ruben Feffer and Gustavo Kurlat — also vital contributors to “Boy and the World” — whose clattering, dissonant merging of orchestral and rumbling synthetic elements ensures that fear will not be defeated quietly." - Variety

"The score by Gustavo Kurlat and Ruben Feffer goes beautifully hand-in-hand with the brushstrokes of the oil paintings to create an overall feeling of wonder and dread" - AZCentral.com

"“Tito and the Birds,” powered by an excellent score from Ruben Feffer and Gustavo Kurlat, is especially good at conveying the spread of mass hysteria." - L.A. Times
