Entre los años 2012-2103 escribí mi primer obra musical basada “conceptual y temáticamente” sobre el poema circular-cíclico de 584 endecasílabos “Piedra de Sol”, perteneciente al escritor mexicano Octavio Paz.

Mi obra musical, es un “trance”, basado en la arborescencia gigante que personifica dicho poema, lleno de: signos, objetos, instancias, tiempo, historias, personajes, espirales, generaciones, obsesiones y órdenes para referirse y nombrar al mundo moderno.

A mi ciclo de obras, pertenece:

1-Piedra de Sol ( un sauce de cristal ). /Orquesta
2- Rostro de llamas, rostro devorado. /Obra de sonidos electroacústicos (2013). ( en revisión).
3- Agamenón y su mugido inmenso… /Ensamble de cámara/ Cuarteto Mixto (2013-2014)
4- Rumor de luz. / Orquesta de Cámara.
(aún en proceso).

Interpretación por la Filarmónica 5 de Mayo​  , con la dirección de David Hernandez Breton​.
