GRUVALDO | ERLEUCHTUNG
GRUVALDO | ALQUIMIA
Many times people ask me, are you an artist? Are you gay? Are you this or that? But honestly I do not like labels. This is why I like to reply, I am Todo (todo means everything in spanish). I just love to do art, music, paintings, sound, visuals, designs photography and others. But most importantly I like to do art naturally, when I feel like doing it. I went to a Waldorf school as a kid and I learned to listen to myself. When art comes naturally the results are fresh and honest. And when I dive into what I’m doing time cease to exist and magic happens in the form of mistakes or new discoveries.
On this new music I am presenting here that was exactly the case. Or you wont be here listening to it. I wont be explaining what was the mistake or the new discovery or the magic on it cause alchemy is a very complex thing to explain with words, so I just invite you to close your eyes listen and discover by yourself.
Album recorded live at the Alquimia Studio in Berlin on February 2023 direct into a DAT recorder. All music was programmed and performed by Javier Zugarramurdi Garcia aka Todo featuring Paulette on the clarinet.

TODO | AMOR
For the first release on the new Contumancia series we bring you this mega special little album by Todo entitled Amor.
The first cut Adentro serves as a intro and is a 10 minute long mantra-melody accompanied by improvised love reflections from the heart of Todo.
The second cut Amor is a 13 minute long jam with the deepest sound as is all mixed into a valve-reverb unit called Space Time Machine and you can hear the filaments from the valves throughout the jam. For the lyrics Todo synthetized everything to the core and just repeats the words Te Quiero, I love you, Love and Amor in order to spread love to the listeners and let them hug each other. The world needs more love.
On the third cut entitled Mi Alma (My Soul) Todo keeps improvising with his soul connected with the good energies from our galaxy and sing ‘Dentro de mi ser, Mi alma’ (Inside my being, My soul). On the superficial society that we are living today Todo expresses the importance of being connected to ones soul and real self with the deepest passion speaking from his heart and soul.
The fourth cut entitled Normal enters more relaxed and is speaks about equality. Normal is no one, we are all normal. On a way to unify the people of our planet that seems to split apart more and more.
Last but not least enters Paz (Peace) to wrap up the thing in a super chilled way with an 808 rhythm and a pad with Todo dropping some relaxed chants in order to say goodbye in harmony.
