At 17 and up to his 23, he followed the improvisation workshops of the one he still considers today as his music master, Patricio Villarroel. From his brief visit to the Sorbonne, he studied musicology, he could hardly remember anything except during the lessons of acoustics, listening of recordings of songs of Amazonian Indians or Vatican bells.

He went on to the scenes, then decided that all the same, it would be good for him to do the Concervatoire (sic), since this is where you learn to do concerts: he studied classical guitar for six years , Until the national competition in 2000. There are then twenty recordings and hundreds of concerts, solo or in various formations, stamped with free improvisation, free rock, even free jazz or noise, whose always Hubbub (since 1999, quintet with F.

That is to say, with authority, to make chaos emerge a matter, whatever it may be to accept it, to accept it even, then conscientiously to work it, to polish it or to fissile it no matter but always to the maximum, and then suddenly make him gorge. Leave the earth. Tear time.
