Description

(CD + DVD)

Using the evacuation of St Kilda as a starting point, and with St Kilda evacuee Norman Gillies acting as narrator, the project takes the listener/viewer on an emotional and thought provoking journey from the lonely Atlantic island to Glasgow, New York and Canada, before a triumphant and poignant return to St Kilda.

The St Kilda Tapes features two Scottish Screen Archive films (St. Kilda – Britain’s Loneliest Island and A New Way To A New World), as well as some new specially created video, and a few other multimedia surprises. The combination of original film from the nineteen twenties and thirties with contemporary material creates a musical and visual time machine with a universal message.
