2013-14, series of videos made for performances by sound poet Anne-James Chaton and guitarist Andy Moor

Transfer is a collection of poetry guitar music pieces originally released as a series of four seven inch singles based around the themes of transportation and transition; side A constructed from real or factual information and material, side B from fiction and fantasy, and later as a full album on Unsounds records. Themes were taken more or less directly from news items or literature and film his tory, from Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days, the death of princess Diana and Grace Kelly, major plane crashes throughout history, Leonardo da Vinci’s musings on aerodynamics, to Agatha Christies’ Murder on the Orient Express. Andy Moor and Anne-James Chaton have toured widely in Europe, Canada and Japan, always building, reconstructing and adjusting their set and performance using improvisation as a creative source, sometimes with guests such as Yannis Kyriakides and Christine Abdelnour.
They combine guitar riffs and loops, abstact noise, live sampling, dark beats and the unmistakable voice of Chaton, very present and rhythmic. On stage they present the Transfer series with film projections by Iranian filmmaker Bani Khoshnoudi.
