Born in Madrid in 1941. He dropped out of the Engineering and Telecommunications School to attend the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid, where he studied the piano, harmonics, counterpoint and composition. In 1968, he obtained a diploma for teaching composition.

Between 1966 and 1970, he studied instrumentation with Günther Becker during the Darmstadt Summer Courses. In 1969, thanks to a scholarship from the Juan March Foundation, he trained at the Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music Institute at the University of Ghent. The following year one of his first electroacoustic works (Rabelaisiennes, for prepared guitar, magnetic tape and filters) was nominated for the Gaudeamus Festival Award.

He belonged to the Koan group, as both compositor and musician, during its early period (1967-1970). In 1969, he started to work with the Alea laboratory in Madrid. Between 1970 and 1972, he was part of the Alea Música Electrónica Libre group, the first Spanish group playing electroacoustic music live.

In 1976, he moved to Barcelona where he worked closely with the Phonos Laboratory.

In 1983, he founded Obert-Art Actual, in cooperation with Rafael Santamaria. They organized the Sis Dies d'Art Actual, multimedia festivals in Barcelona three years running, from 1983 to 85. In 1985, with Gabriel Brncic and Claudio Zulian, he started Multimusica, a group specializing in live electroacoustic music.

One of the characteristics of his work since 1969 is the almost total abandon of traditional instruments in favor of electroacoustic sources. He generally interprets his own work in concerts, combining magnetic tapes, synthesizers and processors in real time - often accompanied by videos or other elements created by visual artists.

In 1996 he moved to Huelva, where he founded MUSICAL CREATION AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES and the DIÁFANO electroacoustic music studio. In 2000 he created the CONFLUENCES, ART AND TECHNOLOGY AT THE GATEWAY TO THE MILLENNIUM CYCLE, backed by the Junta de Andalucía, which he directed until its disappearance in 2006. In 2003 he created the INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION OF ELECTROACOUSTIC MINIATURES, which has been held seven times under the sponsorship of the Junta de Andalucía.
