Anyone know where in Cornwall he's from? Cornwall has certainly influenced his work. Take a look at the track list from Drukqs: A1 Jynweythek A2 Vordhosbn A3 Kladfvgbung Micshk A4 Strotha Tynhe B1 Omgyjya Switch7 B2 Gwely Mernans C1 *****/Ver10 C2 Bbydhyonchord C3 Orban Eq Trx4 D1 Mt Saint Michel Mix+St Michaels Mount D2 Beskhu3epnm E1 Aussois E2 Hy A Scullyas Lyf A Dhagrow E3 Kesson Daslef E4 Avril 14Th E5 Gwarek2 F1 54 Cymru Beats F2 Btoum-Roumada F3 Lornaderek F4 Penty Harmonium F5 Prep Gwarlek 36 F6 Father F7 Petiatil Cx Htdui G1 Meltphace 6 G2 Bit4 G3 Taking Control G4 Ruglen Holon H1 Afx237 V7 H2 Ziggomatic V17 H3 Nanou2 Here is a quote from wikipedia: QuoteVarious titles are in Cornish, a Celtic language related to Gaelic Welsh and Breton spoken in Cornwall, James' home. James said he "went back to his roots" in Cornwall, or "Kernow" as it is known in Cornish. Translations include "Jynweythek [Ylow]" for "Electronic Machine [Music]", "Vordhosbn" would mean "Sailboat", and "Cymru" would mean "Wales". Comically, "hy a Scullyas lyf a dhagrow" would roughly translate as "She wasted my pint". Various numbers found in words may actually represent archaic letters. Several tracks do not relate to Cornish but have their own individual meanings: "Lornaderek" combines the names of James' mother and father, respectively, whereas "Father" is named so because his father enjoyed the piece. "Mt Saint Michel [3], [4] + Saint Michaels mount [5], [6]" is named after two actual places, Mont Saint Michel and Saint Michael's Mount, which are related to each other, the latter being a famous tourist attraction in Cornwall.

QuoteRichard David James was born to Welsh parents Lorna and Derek James in 1971 in Limerick, Ireland. He had a "very happy" childhood where "(we were) pretty much left to do what we wanted." [1] He started producing music at the age of 12 according to Benjamin Middleton, and as a teenager he DJ'ed at the Shire Horse, St Ives, Cornwall, with Tom Middleton at the Bowgie Inn, Crantock, Newquay, Cornwall, and also along the numerous beaches around Cornwall. His first record was the 12" EP Analogue Bubblebath, the last two tracks made with Tom Middleton.
