cornish and/or gibberish "beskhu3epnm" doesn't sound like any old english/celtic language, does it? |
||||||||

i think it's actually welsh...the "3" is used to represent a character |

By the way, "gaelic" is a bit confusing, there are three "gaelic" languages, Irish, Manx and Scottish, so you could be talking about any of them. Welsh and Cornish are from a different Celtic language branch. |

Welsh and Cornish (and Breton) are all pretty similar, if you speak one, you can make out the jist of what people are saying in the others... |

Sand - here... this is from the drukqs faq on joyrex. Some have questioned it's accuracy, but have a look anyway. 04. What do the odd tracknames mean? When the tracklisting for drukqs was first revealed, many people were puzzled at the seemingly gibberish tracknames and feared Richard became like Autechre in making up words to describe his songs. However, thanks to Centurix, a joyrex.com messageboard regular and his Cornish Father-In-Law, John. The language they seem to be written in is Kernawek, which is a derivative of gaelic typically used in Cornwall. Richard is Cornish, and comes from Cornwall, so this is a reasonable assumption. Below are the tracknames and their translations (note: not all of them have been deciphered or reasonably figured out yet.) Jynweythek Ylow: Jynweythek = Electronic machine Ylow = Music Vordhosbn: a vor = Launch or sail hos = a coarse noise John reckons its a noisey boat, like a tugboat. Kladfvbung Micshk: This is old cornish scripture, we're not sure what it means yet. Omgyjya Switch7: Again, old scripture. To cope for some scriptures, modern character sets tend to use numbers to replace things, like a long "z" is spelt with a "3" and pronounced "th", same with the "7" it's like a "t". Strotha Tynhe: Strotha = Squeeze Tynhe = Tight/Tighten Gwely Mernans: Gwely = Bed Mernans = Death Death bed Cock/ver10: well.. a cock is a cock really, although a cok is a boat |

Avril 14th: Kernow festival Mt Saint Michel + St Michaels Mount: Very pretty place... Gwarek2: Gwarek = Arch Orban Eq Trx4: John reckons Orban is a kind of rising mound or edge Aussois: We had no idea. Possibly something south of somewhere. Hy A Scullyas Lyf A Dhagrow: Ok, "A" can mean either "A" or "Goes" Hy = Her/She Scullyas = Wastes/Spills Lyf = Deluge Dhagrow (or possibly just grow) = dreg John reckons this relates to the spillage of liquid, kind of like "She spilled/wasted my pint" Kesson Daslef: Kesson = Harmonious Daslef = We had no idea Cymru Beats: Cymru = Wales Btoum Roumada: Old scripture, very difficult to decipher Lornaderek: Possibly a small place in Cornwall Penty Harmonium: Penty = Paint Harmonium = Harmony/music Meltphace 6: well... Bit4: hmmm.... Prep Gwarlek 3b: Old scripture again, with an elongated "z" where the "3" is. Father: Father... Taking Control: yep... Petiatil Cx Htdui: Old scripture again. Ruglan Holon: Holon = salt AFX237 v7: *cough* Ziggomatic v17: yeah baby! Beskhu3epnm: Old scripture again. Nanou2: Now he's playing with us... |

actually i think making up words or word combinations (like autechre does) is better than this cornish bullshit: it's still gibgerish to me! |

Actually, if you listen to the Repsect List on the Ventolin EP, you'll hear Richard shouting out to "Lornaderek," whoever that is. Bit4 is probably just a short noise track that Richard couldn't find a name for -- just like the BIT on the Hangable Auto Bulb EP.1 I at first believed they were anagrams, but they (the letters) can't possibly stand for any English words. The gaelic language thing though seems reasonable. For some odd reason, the Vordhosbn=tugboat seems to make sense. |
