‘Heretics’ is a series of portraits of radical figures foundthroughout the history of schismatic thinking.Heretics like Caravaggio, William Burroughs, Jose Mujica,Marquis de Sade and Johnny Rotten, fascinated the artists.These influential figures are presented here in the form ofpoetic texts and catchy melodies combined with experimentalnoise.With the addition of ex-Sonic Youth guitarist, singer andsongwriter Thurston Moore – Anne-James Chaton and AndyMoor’s more than a decade long collaboration becomes anexciting trio. They researched and created the material forHeretics during a residency in the French port of St Nazaire, inJuly 2014. They used voice, guitars and electronics in solo, duoor trio, to collaboratively explore their ideas and co-write textsand music.Moore and Moor both emerged from the punk/post-punk scene– albeit on different continents. This familiarity with eachother’s background and music meant they were able to workat an intuitive fast pace during the making of these pieces,and subsequent recordings. Chaton’s powerful delivery andhypnotic style holds it’s own amidst the two guitarists buildinga rich wall of sound, melody and noise around him. Chaton andMoore’s contrasting voices and choice of words ring out in thetradition of non-conformist poetry. Shaped by jagged distortedguitars and penetrating chords, the trio’s combination of guitarand poetry evokes a new genre.‘Heretics’ was recorded at La Muse en Circuit (Paris), and firstperformed live at the Theatre de Saint Nazaire, in 2015. Themaking of Heretics is documented in a film made by BenoîtBourreau.
