He is the author of three symphonies (his first symphony, “El compendio de la vida” from 1993 is inspired on four of his own canvases) as well as symphonic and chamber works. His most recent works attempt a fusion between rhythms with Latin American roots and the diverse aesthetic currents of European contemporary music creating, thus, a personal language, an imaginary folklore.

"Le Monde de la Musique" has called him a distant heir to Villa Lobos and Ginastera because of his imaginative use of the Latin American musical patrimony.

His works have been played in Europe and the United States.
