about the record

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 Twinkle³, 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 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.
