About

My work is focused on the study of sound within animal communication and natural acoustic environments for the creation of new music. My research is primarily centered on Biomusic, exploring the realms of acoustic ecology and interdisciplinary, intercultural studies of soundscapes. I hold a particular interest in the dynamic interplay between art and science from an ecocritical perspective. I engage in diverse concert formats, ranging from musical theater to immersive multichannel sound installations and hybrid forms, all aimed at fostering a contextualized listening experience that's deeply embedded in the geocultural and biopolitical dimensions of sonic events.

I am founder and director of the Acoustic Ecology Lab in Mexico as a space for epistemic and creative exchange to promote the development of environmental sound art.

He recibido diversos premios y distinciones por mi trabajo, los más recientes son: “IKF Goethe-Institut 2025-2026”, “Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung 2025”, “Sistema Nacional de Creadores en México 2023-2026”; “Sharing Knowledge” by the Danish Composers’ Society and Art Music Denmark in collaboration with Initiative Neue musik, Berlin 2023-2024; “Internationaler Koproduktionsfonds 2022-2023” por el Goethe Institut, “Jóvenes Creadores 2021-2022” por el FONCA; “Composer in Residence 2021” por la fundación Crespo en el programa “Art/Nature Nature/Art”, Glenkeen Garden, Irlanda;  “Composer in Residence 2019” por el Archiv Frau und Musik en colaboración con la Hoschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst en Frankfurt, Alemania. Fui becaria del programa Arte, Ciencia y Tecnología del FONCA-UNAM 2019-2020, con el proyecto “Biomáquinas-Animales del Viento” especializado en estudios de bioacústica, sistemas acústicos precolombinos y mecatrónica. “Ibermemoria Sonora y Audiovisual 2021” en colaboración con Abirds y el Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas de la UAEM, entre otros.

I have premiered more than 50 works in different formats in more than 15 countries between America and Europe, in international festivals such as Time to Listen in Berlin, Leicht Über Linz, Darmstädter Ferienkurse, Festival Internacional Cervantino, Ars Electronica, Forum Wallis, FIMNME, among others, which has been performed by internationally recognized performers and ensembles such as Neue Vocalsolisten, Liminar Ensemble, UMS N JIP, Duplum, Performing Precarity Oslo, Patricia García, Sarah Maria Sun, Johannes Fischer, among others.

Currently, I am pursuing my PhD studies with Carola Bauckholt with the project: "Biomusic: from animal communication to music composition" at the Anton Bruckner Private University.

I studied a Master's Degree in Musical Creation, New Technologies and Traditional Arts at the Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero; and a Specialization in Object Theater, Interactivity and New Media at the Universidad Nacional de las Artes, in Buenos Aires-Argentina, with the support of the program Studies Abroad 2015-2017 of FONCA-CONACYT. I graduated with Honors in 2014 from the Bachelor's Degree at the Faculty of Music of the UNAM.
