Pablo Todd

Musician, composer and music producer with a career of more than 15 years in the industry, he immerses himself in sound art with a unique and passionate perspective. In his own words, music is much more than a simple artistic expression; It is a link to a past that no longer exists and a glimpse of a future yet to be revealed. For him, music is not created, but simply is, an ethereal force that is shared and that drags him on an emotional swing, from the depths of sadness to ecstasies that he did not even imagine. These sound vibrations heighten his senses and in the silence, he becomes one with them.

His journey in the world of music is quantum, an experience that is constantly undone and remade. Pablo Todd does not “make” music, rather, music is an intrinsic part of him. With a career full of national and international successes, collaborating with renowned artists such as Malú, Pandora, Paulina Goto, Los Polinesios and Jenifer Rojo, and coordinating international productions with musicians from various countries, his passion and dedication for sound art continues to resonate in every note that composes.

Currently, he embarks on a new creative journey alongside Robert Photonic in a new audiovisual adventure within his career. Pablo Todd is a sound artist who does not simply create music, but lives and breathes music in its purest essence.

 

ARTWORK

Espejismos (Mirages)
Performance

“Espejismos” In this live programmed laser beam performance, spatial limits are defied by creating a three-dimensional experience. The room is transformed into a blank canvas, where smoke becomes the propitious medium for the materialization of volumes and ephemeral architecture. Through a careful choreography, air is shaped, drawing structures that float and vanish in a fleeting dance. The laser beams, like light brushes, give shape to an ethereal and tangible space, challenging the conventional notion of reality. The viewer is immersed in a hypnotic environment, where the interaction of light and smoke cause astonishment and wonder. The volumes unfold, creating a fugitive architecture that redefines the frontiers of space. This artwork expands perception, defying preconceived notions and creating a space for aesthetic exploration. It is a three-dimensional journey that invites the audience to submerge itself in the magic of light and smoke, experimenting with a new dimension of reality. The result of this performance is a light sculpture made of laser beams.
