Editor’s note:

In 2021, I started a series of films for Repeater Books. Entitled “Their Tells”, they used unseen human voices with static images to bring people’s hidden stories to life.

Whilst I elected to write the majority myself, I wanted to also cede the floor to a voice that would speak in a language other than English, and speak to an experience outside my own. My mum’s autobiographical, lyrical and sometimes painfully nostalgic tale of a transient island life was the ideal foil to my own abstracted, city-bound tales of pessimism.

The full text of her script for “A’ Siubhail Gu h-aotrom” is published here, in Gaelic and English, with an introduction she penned for the broadcast; and stills from the film are reproduced, consisting of digitally altered photos of Skye from the lens of my father’s camera. The only prompt I gave her was a phrase that made its way one way or another into every film - “The impossibility of home”- and the words that follow map that restlessness clearly.

As she reaches her 70th year in 2023, it seemed like the perfect time to bring her ‘tells’ into print - allowing readers to share in the original ethos of the film series of bringing out the best and only version of every self.

This is as good as the officially released WRNTDP titles on CIS. Very pleased to pick it up, where the pieces here are longer than most on the records they benefit from the slow unwinding they are afforded. The 18 minute live set excerpt is particularly immersive. Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to release this on vinyl as a companion to the inevitable repressing of This Nation's Most Central Location. Great stuff. Oh and you get a cool magazine to read as well. Awesome. shaun rogan

I'm so happy someone is doing this. Beautifully designed zine. Fascinating articles and writing. CD is all bangers. I look forward to the next issue. Scott Sugiuchi
