Dube studied symbols and messages. He liked them short. He often wore t-shirts with some sort of message or symbol on them. Some of them would say Ninchi fan le ma ?, I live here, Say good morning to yourself, I'll be honest with you, I'm a liar, or I'm asking for a job, Contact me for my CV, I love my girlfriend, Say No to Cryptonite, Yes! I am a model, It's even better then you remember, Masculism is not antifeminizm, If I don't remember, it didn't happen, or simply: Insecurity. He tried to convey visual symbols to those that were sound related. His play was always a message, even when he was performing along the score of the composition. Once, through his playing, he sent a long message in a Morse code. He spent hours composing the right signs and intervals that would still adhere to the overall climate of the composition. No one really noticed it, but the critique in a local newspaper emphasized the role of a gong player.
