豪華アーティストのサポートを受けた待望の4thアルバム!!2015年に英Cuspeditionsより出版された2ndアルバム[Debris In Lower Earth Orbit]が当店にてかなりの人気を博した、尺八プレイヤーClive Bell率いるエクスペリメンタルトリオTwinkle³。本作[Upon This Fleeting Dream]は"死と別れ"をコンセプトに、中世及び16世紀の日本の詩/俳句を取り入れたという不思議な感触のエレクトロアコースティック。なんとDavid Sylvianと英在住の日本人アーティストKazuko Hohkiが詩を読み上げており、それに合わせフィールドレコーディングや電子音、尺八の浮遊音響を投下する摩訶不思議な先鋭スポークンワード。凄い世界観です。









Vinyl edition of 'Upon This Fleeting Dream': lp with double printed inlay and extra insert with poems on which the album is based on.

On ‘Upon This Fleeting Dream’ Clive Bell’s Twinkle3 embraces medieval and 16th century Japanese poems and haiku about death and saying farewell. Bell and Twnkle3, consisting of Dave Ross and Richard Scott, expand their sonic borders to unknown territory: bringing these pithy epigrams to a new Fourth World where electro-acoustic sounds glitches into an hypnagogic, if not unconscious level of fragile beauty.

The distinctive voice of David Sylvian, who reads the English version of the poems and created field recordings and the artwork for this album blends in the most organic way with the shakuhachi,Thai reed flutes and mouth organs played by Clive Bell.

The narrative voices of David Sylvian and Kazuko Hohki’s (Frank Chickens, Kahondo Style…) velvet timbre are the cornerstones of this compelling journey while the tangling and abstract rhythms transcending from Dave Ross’ modular synths and Richard Scott’s sampler and analogue electronics, unravel and unfold a mesmerizing universe with unknown dimensions and frequencies of a fleeting dream.
