He obtained the "Premier Prix a l'unanimitè" in composition in 1999. He also studied composition with Paul Méfano, and Electro acoustic music with Luis Naón and Laurent Cuniot. He became a French citizen in 2011.

The same association awarded him with the prize "The best Argentine work premiered in the Season 1994, 2006, 2009, 2017". He has been a fellow of the Interamerican Music Friends of Washington (USA), Mozarteum Argentino, [1] and Academie des Beaux-Arts de l'Institut de France. [2] In 1995 he was invited as Resident Composer at the Yehudi Menuhin Academy (Switzerland).

He has written three symphonies. His first symphony, "El compendio de la vida" (1993) was inspired by four of his own canvases. He has also written other 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 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.[ citation needed ]
