After concluding his studies at the Center of Research and Musical Studies (CIEM) in Mexico City, he moved to the Netherlands to continue his postgraduate studies with the support of institutions such as the Netherlands Organisation for International Cooperation in Higher Education and the Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes. He holds a degree in music composition from the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, a degree in sonology from the Institute of Sonology, and a PhD from the Centre of Contemporary Music Practice at Brunel University in London. Rediscovering the boundaries of traditional instruments, the utilisation of found objects, the exploration of technology and performance techniques, and the development of alternative forms of sound generation for music composition are essential elements of Morales’s works. 

Interested in approaching traditional instruments as cultural artifacts and inventing instrumental implementations of rudimentary objects, many of his works intend to explore the figure of the instrumentalist as a versatile music performer, a musician that beyond mastering their instrument is capable of transforming any object into a musical instrument. His works develop from physical exploration in which instrumental architecture, acoustics and technique relate to each other, generating musical structure as the piece unfolds. 

He currently teaches electronic music composition at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.
