🎬 Tapspace takes on Turkish Rambo!

The crew hit the historic —just across the street from HQ—for a one-of-a-kind night of cinema chaos. We watched the cult gem "Turkish Rambo," hilariously reimagined live by with a full original score, foley, and voice cast. Think ultra-low budget action + live performance = absolute magic.
10/10 would do again. 💥🎭💣🎻

Robert Oetomo’s marimba arrangement of "Pining for the Spring Breeze" (望春風) beautifully blends jazz harmonies, romantic-era flourishes, and expressive freedom—all while honoring the Taiwanese original by Yu-hsien Teng. A lyrical, heartfelt solo that invites interpretation and emotion. 🌸
