Later he was a member of the Portuguese Musical Youth, where he created the Conceptual Music Association who brought together performers and composers such as Carlos Zíngaro and António Pinho Vargas with interested listeners and organized concerts in Porto.

He was a founder of the Anar Band (1972), with Rui Reininho, of Telectu (1981) with Vitor Rua, and the duo Zul Zelub, with Jonas Runa (2007). Throughout his career he also collaborated with artists such as Elliot Sharp, Chris Cutler, Sunny Murray, Jac Berrocal, Louis Sclavis, Daniel Kientzy, Giancarlo Schiaffini, Evan Parker, Gerry Hemingway, Paul Lytton and Eddie Prévost. He held a degree in Art History (1973) and then a doctorate (1993) by the New University in Lisbon, with a thesis entitled "Music and Mass Media". Shortly before his death he returned to that same university to attain a PhD in Communication Sciences (in 2010) with a thesis entitled "Aesthetics of Musical Communication - the Improvisation".
