His compositions are featured in four albums dedicated entirely to his music (Sonora, SensibileModelagens, and S’io Esca Vivo), as well as in twenty additional albums released by various record labels. His catalog includes over 100 works for orchestra, symphonic band, opera, choir, ballet, theater, sound installation, electroacoustic music, sound art, chamber music, performance, and film.
