SKALA

Searching in the dark; reinventing beauty; pure rage; dissolving into defeat. Through five chapters alternating between dark and light this video investigates how human emotions change over time – how it is the inevitable succesion of anxiety and well-being that becomes a reliable constant in life.

The video is the visual accompaniment for the instrumental music album SKALA by Ghost Flute & Dice. Written specifically to be performed in a disused water tower the music combines piano, electronic effects and surround sound. The title is the danish word for "scale" referring both to musical scales but also the shear enormity of the venue itself. With a reverb time of 20 seconds the watertower would make every sound a world unto its own.

Both music and pictures are influenced by this reverb time in that they move very slowly – mirroring the ebb and flow of contrasting mental states. Starting off in the water tower – where the music was originally premiered - the video moves outdoors combining different unnatural performers with unnerving nature settings.
