Anache's work integrates Ambisonics and digital synthesis with generative compositional methods. His research explores the relationships between sound, space, and perception, often employing real-time processing techniques. He has presented his music and research in academic and artistic contexts, collaborating with institutions such as the Mexican Center for Music and Sonic Arts ( CMMAS ) and the National University of Quilmes (UNQ).

As a professor, he teaches at the National University of Tres de Febrero (UNTREF) and the National University of Quilmes (UNQ), where he also participates in the research area. Additionally, he has worked at the Universidad Nacional de las Artes and the Universidad del Cine.

He was a performer for the ensembles ''Buenos Aires Sonora'' and '' ENS − Ensamble Nacional del Sur'' (conducted by Oscar Edelstein). During his participation in the latter, he designed and built their own version of a Lithophone together with Axel Lastra.

As a producer he worked on several projects such as ''Brahman Cero'' and '' Excursiones Polares'', including the participation of both bands on the album '' Los Ellos '' inspired by El Eternauta, the classic science fiction comic created by Argentine writer Héctor Germán Oesterheld with artwork by Francisco Solano López (the edition of the album was supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Nation).

His debut solo album, '' Capturas del Único Camino'' (2014), was composed using algorithmic techniques and processed field recordings. His second album, '' Lento, en un jardín reticular'' (2024), continues his exploration of live electronic performance, using real-time digital synthesis and Ambisonics encoding.
