What happens when two or more talented and resourceful artists collaborate? Is it possible that such restless and glowing people can even interact and cooperate? Can they create something new together, something different, something that transcends the current artistic and cultural paronama? In the case of visual artist Jorge Sellés and the electronic duo Cachopou, the answer is yes.
Juanma Lodo and David Quiles Guilló make up the Cachopou duo boy band playing sound collages, composed with a random mix of bedroom electronics, noise, out of tune pseudo-jazz, and non-scholarly classical studio improvisations, resulting in a kind of world music. experimental povera. For their latest studio album "Stakes Are High" they have had the collaboration of the artist Jorge Sellés to give shape and content, through a set of sound and visual gibberish from the new digital age, to the musical theme "Unexpected Reminder".
David Quiles Guilló, cultural manager, researcher, critic, curator and internationally recognized artist is also founder and director of the distinguished International Biennial of Digital Art "The Wrong", a global digital art project that aims to nurture the digital culture of the present being its mission to create, promote and drive forward-thinking positive contemporary digital art for a wider audience through an event that brings together a wide selection of works of digital art that includes notable artists, accredited curators and institutions from today's exciting digital culture scene, in which Jorge Sellés has been part since its birth, as a prominent member of the new creative digital media, supported by the artist and international curator Santiago Delgado-Escribano.
Juanma Lodo, renowned multimedia artist and industrial and graphic designer, has been in charge of the Na Rua Fashion section since the end of 2007, a concept that was born within the Proxecto-Ds creative collective during his student years in Ferrol and whose work continues until today at the Dot. In addition to being an essential part of the Dot:Tv team, today, we can find him making audiovisual creations for various entities and festivals, and even sound creations with fruits and vegetables.
Jorge Sellés, versatile new digital media artist, has to his credit collaborative creative interventions for musical creators of the stature of Wooky (spa.RK), Niet! and Hypersunday (Hypersunday Records), Yelle (Recreation Center & Delaf), online marketing agencies such as Ok-Otto Barcelona, coworking and training spaces such as Innova Espai Valencia and event producers such as Sunset OrangeLand Entertainment, among others.
Cachopou’s third and definitive studio album “Stakes Are High” delivers an inflexion in the band’s sound, thrusting a powerful new mix of fresh organic electronica and post-everything routines featuring lots of randomness, freedom and a bit of jazz.
Is this art music? We like to think it is.
"An unnerving deconstruction of punk-jazz-minimal-glitch music that seems to be infinitely played by a musical AI set free to explore the realm and boundaries of music : rhythms, melodies, sounds." Antoine Schmitt
"The idea of expressing emotion using synthetic music is such a basic one but still so few bands do it as well as Cachopou. It is just the right balance of chaos and order. Lovely.” Isan
