Influenced by literature and the visual arts, his music often explores intertextual processes and counterpoint techniques, as well as researching and reflecting on timbre in constant dialogue with electronics. Adhering to the concept of the 'Musée sonore imaginaire', his compositions seek different sound morphologies to create forms that are open to the genealogies, history, and temporal horizons of each element and gesture.
