His works are published in the USA and Europe.

"Carlos blends the serenity of classic ECM jazz, the Latin influence of his native Argentina, and the Neo-Classical rigor of a Ravel or Debussy to create a stimulating and highly enjoyable album. His pieces for the PUBLIQuartet are fresh and lively, without pretention or fussiness. This is someone who loves music and wants you to love it, too."
