Born into a family of musicians, he grew up surrounded by the music of Piazzolla, Bill Evans, Bach, Leguizamón and Queen — an early opening to musical diversity. That diversity fed an insatiable curiosity that led him to wonder how music is made. From early childhood, he answered that question by composing his own music.

Formal training followed, in both composition and orchestral conducting — the latter born of a double necessity: to work live with sound material and shape it, and to learn from the great masters of music history, always in a practical, hands-on way. He began studying composition at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, before moving to Europe to train with teachers such as Martin Matalon, Michael Jarrell and Hèctor Parra, and at institutions including the Haute École de Musique de Genève (Switzerland) and IRCAM (Paris). His music sits within a particular genealogy that crosses academic and popular traditions: the minimalism and depth of Steve Reich and Arvo Pärt, the structure of Ligeti, the lyricism of Berio, the alchemy of Bach, the drama of Purcell — and, running beneath all of it, Latin American music.

After teaching composition and conducting for several years at the CRR (Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional) of Rennes, he now channels that same pedagogical drive into talks and events — in theatres, public venues and companies — on music, contemporary music and the place of orchestral conducting in society. That inclination toward outreach runs through all of his projects, as both composer and conductor.

That same commitment to passing things on has also led him to creative residencies at the conservatories of Aurillac, Brest, Vannes and Rennes, from which more than 40 pedagogical works were born — part of a catalogue that today spans more than 100 works.

Today, that same drive to work live with sound, in real halls, with real musicians, has carried him into institutional leadership: he has been Artistic Director of Ensemble Sillages and of Festival Electrocution since 2020, and of the Orchestre de Brest Métropole since the 2025/26 season — three platforms where his work as composer, conductor and educator now converge.

Born into a family of musicians, he grows up surrounded by tango, jazz, classical music, folklore, and rock — an early opening to musical diversity. That diversity feeds an insatiable curiosity, and together they lead him to wonder how music is made, beyond simply performing it. From early childhood, he answers that question by composing his own music.
