He was also was a student of Boris Blacher in Berlin, Josef Rufer, Fritz Winckel, and Oskar Sala. In 1960 he was awarded the "Rompreis", after that he lived in Rome & Venice.

Besides composing for instruments (mainly the organ and the piano), he worked mostly on electronic and tape music, which he called "cybernetic music", based on programming long format compositions on early computer systems.
