Bleep

15 years after their inception with 2009’s Let’s Make A Solar System, UK and Berlin-based trio Twinkle3 round up their trilogy of cerebral electro-acoustic releases with Minor Planets. As well as presenting a set of compositions bordering fourth world sonics and jazz spontaneity, Minor Planets sees Twinkle3 condense over a decade’s worth of pushing the limits of abstraction and form into one disc of uniquely irresistible compositions. Clive Bell’s mastery of the Japanese shakuhachi flute flits between noise and pitch across this release, becoming enmeshed in the extraterrestrial electronic rhythms of seasoned improvisers Richard Scott and David Ross on the likes of ‘Opik 2099’ and ‘Abnoba 456’.
