I build and invent objects where the handmade and the digital meet. Code, painting, music, sound and visuals.
CuerpoSonoro
What if your body were the one generating sound as it moves, rather than reacting to it? CuerpoSonoro turns movement into sound in real time: no score, no pre-recorded sequences, no sensors. Just you, moving.

Public data → Sound → Sound installation
What if the story of a place could be heard? Estratos turns public data — the kind that's out there, available, but that nobody ever looks at — into a sound installation that tells you what it's hiding.

Punzadas Sonoras is my favourite podcast: I'm fascinated by how Inés and Paula choose their subjects and the way they get into them. I always wanted a library of the works, authors and references from their 100-plus episodes, so I built one.
View project →Art + Curiosity + Creativity
I'm happy when I imagine something and manage to make it real. Whether it ends up being software, a song, a watercolour or a workshop, the impulse is the same.
I come from software engineering, but curiosity takes me a long way from it. I compose and produce music, I paint, I do macro photography and I design installations that turn data into sound. Mixing art and code doesn't strike me as odd — to me it's the most natural thing there is.
Lately I'm fascinated by what happens when data stops being a table or a chart and becomes something you can hear or touch.
I believe in technology that serves people. It's an incredible set of tools, but it only makes sense when it's used to improve the lives of people and of every living thing.
When I'm not making something, I'm with my dog Otto, exploring rivers and reservoirs in our kayak, swimming, or on the road in our camper van looking for the next adventure.
