TWINKLE3 FEAT. DAVID SYLVIAN & KAZUKO HOHKI – Upon This Floating Dream – LP – Vinyl

LP – Black Vinyl.With double printed inlay and extra insert with poems on which the album is based on.

On Upon This Fleeting Dream Clive Bells Twinkle3 embraces medieval and 16th century Japanese poems and haiku about death and saying farewell. Twinkle3, consisting of Dave Ross and Richard Scott besides Clive Bell, 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 Hohkis (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 Scotts sampler and analogue electronics, unravel and unfold a mesmerizing universe with unknown dimensions and frequencies of a fleeting dream.

For fans of David Sylvian, Japanese poems, Jon Hassell, Pan Sonic, Laraaji, Brian Eno, electronic, organic and excellent music.
