Born in Geneva, his better known compositions include:

- Concerto for seven wind instruments, timpani and strings
He also wrote a full scale symphony, a Requiem, two piano concertos, a harpsichord concerto, a violin concerto and a cello concerto.
He developed a style based on Arnold Schoenberg's twelve tone method, having become interested in this around 1932, but did not abandon tonality[?].
