kon teifi

kon teifi ~ kon teifi (coracle audio documents, 1974)

"something of a mystery here... a couple of weeks ago a package arrived at Tuluum Shimmering Recordings headquarters, a box of 12 tapes with a brief note asking if our label would be so kind as to distribute these cassettes. the note was unsigned, and there was no return address. the tapes appear to have been made in 1974, and come with a small 4 page foldout booklet. the booklet reveals the story of a journey by coracle from Polynesia to Wales to prove a theory held by the unnamed author/recordist. the recordings on the tape were apparently made on this journey. I've been unable to find out any more about this tape or the voyage it documents, but we here at TSR are honoured to be able to help it finally see the light of day." tsr



"he aquí un misterio... hace un par de semanas llegó un paquete a la sede de Tuluum Shimmering Recordings, una caja con 12 cintas y una breve nota preguntando si nuestro sello sería tan amable de distribuirlas. la nota venía sin firmar y no había ninguna dirección de remitente. las cintas se grabaron en 1974 y vienen con un pequeño folleto despegable de cuatro páginas. el folleto revela la historia de un viaje en barca desde Polinesia a Gales para demostrar una teoría sostenida por el anónimo autor / grabador. las grabaciones de la cinta se hicieron aparentemente durante ese viaje. he sido incapaz de averiguar más acerca de esta cinta o del viaje que documenta, pero en TSR nos sentimos orgullosos de poder ayudar a que finalmente vean la luz." tsr


no hay nada que me haga más feliz que esos discos sorpresa que surgen de la nada y tienen historias románticas detrás, como el de Cap'n Jack, Jürgen Müller, Bobby Brown, Eden Ahbez o Tim Robertson. Bobby, Eden y Cap'n Jack existieron. pero ¿y los demás?. sí. no. me da igual. lo que suena es tan bonito que me gusta pensar que sí. es tan grande el poder de sugestión, y seducción, que para mí Jürgen Müller será siempre aquel oceanógrofo alemán cuyo estudio de grabación flotaba sobre el mar. Kon Teifi tiene algo en común con 'aren't you ashamed' y 'science of the sea': cuando los escucho, y por razones distintas, me producen ternura. algo tiene el universo tuluum que hechiza. y Kon Teife está impregnado de ese universo. en 1974 un antropólogo se embarcó en una expedición arqueológica desde Polinesia hasta Gales para demostrar que había sido colonizada, en la más remota antigüedad, por habitantes de las Islas del Pacífico. durante el viaje hizo algunas grabaciones que años más tarde sintió la necesidad de compartir. en la 'cara a' nuestro antropólogo misterioso hace sonar una guitarra  melancólica y tropical sobre unas grabaciones de campo a las que se le unen cánticos tribales. de fondo, una brisa ligera meciendo las palmeras, puedes oler el océano en el aire. en la 'cara b' suena un logo telie, instrumento de madera típico de Niue, isla de Polinesia. al ritmo de un tambor le acompaña una flautilla, pero lo más bonito es el telyn, arpa en galés, que suena un poco a arpa y un poco a xilófono de bambú. el logo telie y el telyn descienden de la misma raíz, tanto linguística como musicalmente. si la misión de la música es la de mostrar mundos inéditos, más allá de la realidad, Kon Teifi nos lleva definitivamente al otro lado del espejo. gracias a Keefe por ir dejando siempre miguitas en el camino, y a Jake por su generosidad (se agotó en un abrir y cerrar de ojos: un poco más y nos quedamos sin ella!).

I suspect this is really Jake Webster himself pulling off a Damenbart or a Jurgen Muller like one off side project like HNAS & Panabrite did, respectively, with the aforementioned nom-de-plumes.

Thanks for sharing this. I was particularly interested in the tale behind
this tape, as I live in the Cardigan area (on the Teifi!!). I too thought
it was a fairly easily spotted hoax; but just for fun I checked out the
local newspaper archives in the library. Low and behold, there in the
Sept. 21 1972 Cardigan and Tivyside Advertiser, was this: https://archive.org/details/CardiganAndTivysideAdvertiser (sorry it's not
a great scan, had to use the library scanner). In case you can't read it, here's a typescript of the relevant article:
"Cardigan residents received a shock on Thursday, when a coracle
containing a semi-clad man appeared, floating up the Teifi. As a crowd
of bystanders gathered on the shore, the wild eyed, shaggy maned man
emerged from his craft. He began to charge about, yelling and mumbling
in turn. Those present were unable to catch quite what he was saying,
but one observer told us: "He was off his chump, I rightly believe.
Groaning and shouting he was, 'telly, telin, tullo, tilli, tally', he'd
say, then jump up and down whooping."
The police were called at this point, but before they arrived
the mysterious coracle traveller leaped back into his vessel and was away
up river, at a remarkable rate of knots. Enquiries were made further
up river, but it appears that there were no sightings. If you have
any information regarding this strange occurrence, please get in touch
with us."

adrián said...

estas historias y discos son una debilidad, aunque como la jürgen müller sólo sean fruto de la imaginación. yo ya tengo disco favorindo del año :))

la cara 'a' es maravillosa tan sugerente, tropical, minimal pero exotica. llevo una hora levitando, algo así como jccg meets pasaro do pomar meets eden ahbez. si me preguntan a que suena la felicidad, es esto. la cara 'b' con el telyn en bucle y como hacia el minuto 11 entra esa melodía... es pura magia

quiero una copia! :'(
