Transfer/3: Flying Machines

Anne-James Chaton + Andy Moor
Unsounds 24U

"Une histoire de l’aviation" is a stirring piece in which Chaton reads out a list of mysterious dates: only later in the song will it become clear that these are dates of the most fatal plane crashes in world history. The music forms a sound-scape based on fragments of conversation between pilots and air traffic controllers, excerpts from black box recordings found after the accidents.

In "Sul Volo" Chaton recounts the different types of aerodynamic movements as described in Leonardo Da Vincis text "Carnet sul volo". His voice is backed by dense driving rhythmic guitar sounds.

Third installment of the 7 inch single series, comes in a poster sized folded sleeve.

Based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, UNSOUNDS was created in 2001 by guitarist Andy Moor, composer / sound artist Yannis Kyriakides, and designer / photographer Isabelle Vigier. As well as releasing some of their own projects, the output of the label includes contemporary composition, improvisation and sound art by artists such as Robert Ashley, Francisco Lopez, John Butcher, Kaffe Matthews and Anne-James Chaton.
