Musician, d.i.y. promoter and editor.
Played in a bunch of angular punk bands for 20+ years. 
Solo act since 2015. Transited so far between an industrialesque layering of noise and idiomatic compositions of twilight guitar instrumentals to strict free improvisation with prepared guitar and electro-acoustic music based on the sampling of field recordings.
Some collabs too.
In 2022 composed the soundtrack to the documentary film "Durangas".
Doing the Ritualistic Drone Noise thing lately.
Performed in Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy and Great Britain.
