"Didac P. Lagarriga, a man
capable of atomising and blending a global array of influences without
succumbing to the cloying blandishments of "World Music" or
"fusion", just a series of steadily hypnotic, subtle and deeply
satisfying revolutions." (The Wire, UK)
"He never ceases to amaze us with its musical and minimalist rhymes
full of finesse and cosmopolitan influences. With a little curiosity and
a real desire to be astonished, the listener will undoubtedly be able
to find his place in the singular and attractive universe of Un Caddie
Renversé dans l'Herbe and understand, if need it, that it is possible
to approach music from singular angles without falling into caricature."
(Benzine magazine, France)
"A beautiful, unassuming blanket of multiethnic instrumentation arranged
via the artist's laptop, which acts merely as a locus for connecting the
various parts of this one-man, transcontinental ensemble. […] Un
Caddie escapes easy estimations, harping on his exploratory sound-grabbing
or fusionist approach, by creating songs that arrive with a haphazard
slowness, quietly building around simple, effective figures". (Brainwashed,
USA)

Witteveen+Bos Art+Technology
Award 2014
by Geert-Jan Hobijn
With IlpoVaisanen, John Hegre, Un Caddie Renversé dans l'Herbe,
Muslimgauze, Jim O'Rourke,
Staalplaat soundsystem
This release consists of a book,
a record player, a 7" single and a small electronic sound device.
The 48-page book shows some of Hobijns work through several photos, an
introduction by Douglas Kahn, and an essay by Jorinde Seijdel.
The 7" single contains 20 locked grooves on each side that you can
play manually using the needle attached to the bookcover or using a regular
turntable. The locked grooves on the a-side are taken from the Yokomono
loop records and the locked grooves on the b-side are from Yokomono 02
(empty ) so you can scratch them and creat your own rhythms.
The electronic sound device is an instrument that can be played by moving
your fingers across the light-sensitive sensor.
