Composing music has always been my greatest ambition since I was a child in Patagonia, Argentina. I spent my entire childhood and adolescence composing unfinished works on paper and in midi format. Initially, I attempted unsuccessfully to focus on Economics in Buenos Aires.  This failure encouraged me to  devote to my private compsition studies with Daniel Montes and later with Lucas Fagin. The audible results of these endeavours are the pieces 'Requiem para Albertine' and 'Faster Than the Speed of Love'. In 2011, having become deeply frustrated by the amount of unperformed scores I had composed, I decided to further my studies at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, where I joined the Bachelor Composition programme. I studied there with Cornelis de Bondt, Peter Adriaansz and Calliope Tsoupaki.  I followed afterwards a Master in Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, studying with Wim Henderickx and Luc van Hove. Since I began my studies in the Netherlands my focus as a composer has shifted towards tonal music. It is my goal to now create a personal language, deeply influenced not only by the composers I admire but also through my own musical memory.

I have had the opportunity to perform my music with professional ensembles such as Modelo62 and Slagwerk Den Haag as well as having worked with a group of highly talented students. Since June 2012 I have also been working as composer for the Netherlands-based theater and performance company "Medea73".
My ultimate goal in terms of my musical compositions is to create something so powerful that I am able to elicit similar feelings of enthrallment and love that I experience when listening to late Beethoven's and Bruckner's music, within myself, and hopefully, within members of my audience.
