Overview

Sound works at the deepest levels of the human system — cellular, emotional, neurological and autonomic.

My work explores how acoustic stimulation can restore rhythm, regulation and communication between the systems that govern how we feel, function and adapt. I do not approach sound as entertainment, nor as symptom-based therapy. I work at the level of the body’s essential regulatory systems — the core physiological structures that shape resilience, coherence and healthspan. These include the nervous system, heart–brain dynamics, respiration, vagal tone, interoception, and the subtle networks through which the body maintains balance.

I call this physiological coherence. And it is where true wellbeing begins.

I studied Electronic Engineering at La Salle Barcelona, completing both my undergraduate and master’s degrees with distinction cum laude, specialising in sound and image technologies. For over twenty years, I have been lecturing in music and sound technology at Imperial College London, working at the intersection of acoustics, digital signal processing, psychoacoustics and creative practice. This scientific foundation, combined with my work as a composer, informs my research into sound, physiology and human wellbeing.


Sound as Systemic Regulation

Most health solutions address problems in isolation. Sound Medicine does not.

Stress, trauma, environmental overload, sensory depletion and emotional dysregulation can disrupt the body’s internal rhythms — fragmenting communication between systems and storing dysfunction in the nervous system.

Through precisely designed acoustic patterns, vibration, rhythm and embodied listening, my work helps the body reorganise its internal timing, restore autonomic balance and re-establish coherence across systems.

Sound becomes not something you hear, but something your body remembers how to follow.


Research Foundations

My work focuses on the intersection between acoustic stimulation, physiological regulation and human longevity, with particular emphasis on:

  • Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and autonomic balance

  • Vagal regulation and baroreflex stimulation

  • Resonant breathing and rhythmic entrainment

  • Psychoacoustics and somatic sound

  • The human exposome and the role of sound in healthspan

This research stems from my PhD in biomedical engineering, where I investigated rhythmic acoustic stimulation and its effects on autonomic nervous system regulation. Today, I collaborate with scientists, clinicians and wellness innovators to develop sound-based interventions for wellbeing, performance and long-term resilience.


An Embodied Approach

My approach combines scientific rigour with artistic sensitivity — bridging the worlds of music, physiology and longevity.

Rather than imposing external solutions, Sound Medicine works by organising the body’s internal rhythms:
supporting nervous system regulation, emotional balance and deep somatic awareness.

It is not about fixing what is broken. It is about helping the body return to coherence.


Strategic Research & Innovation

I am a contributor to The Empathic Machine, a strategic research mission within Imperial College London’s School of Convergence Science in Human & AI, supported by pilot funding from Toyota. The initiative explores the frontier of empathy detection, emotional and intention sensing, and human–AI interaction. My contribution focuses on the intersection of sound, embodied perception, physiological regulation and emotion, informing future research directions and interdisciplinary collaborations.

I am a creative and scientific contributor to the JoyScore Experiment, an international multi-partner research collaboration exploring human joy, emotional synchrony and wellbeing through physiological, behavioural and exposomic data. The project integrates wearable sensing, AI-driven biomarker analytics and sound-based protocols within an open-science framework aligned with the Human Exposome Project. My contribution focuses on the design of reproducible sound and sensory conditions that support measurable emotional and physiological outcomes.
