About Scales

Scales is a project born from a dialogue between photographer Nicola Spadafranca and a sound designer Enrico Nicola Cascavilla. Cascavilla interpreted Spadafranca’ photographic project “Squame” making a short moving experimental video art using just the photographs. Cascavilla found a story through the photos that he told just with sound and a cinematic editing with after effects.

The Story

“Scales” is the journey of a man on an unknown planet, He’s looking for the truth, which is now increasingly difficult to find, as everywhere and everyone is being filled with material and spiritual garbage.
He is unable to deal with the “Scales” of his own past and he finds himself deviated from his true nature and true needs.
“Scales” is a journey to the centre of the earth with sounds and pictures. The pictures are recycled in a movie recounted with sounds. It’s a recycling project.

Concept, video, music and sound design by Enrico Nicola Cascavilla (ENC), a sound designer based in London enc-sound.net
Photographs by Nicola Spadafranca, an analogue photographer based in the gargano (south-east of italy) where these pictures were taken. Previous project “alla fine del viaggio.”

Voice by Marta Faustino, arts manager and art lover based in London. Co-founder of the online magazine noveltymag.co.uk/

Eric White, a New York-based painter, and professor at the city’s School of Visual Arts, has been making art since he could hold a crayon. “One of my earliest and most distinct memories,” he said, “is listening to The Beatles’ ‘White Album,’ drawing in the dark, while my parents argued upstairs.” He recalled being specifically influenced by Richard Hamilton’s artwork for the album, as well as the Grammy Award-winning cover for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. “I think seeing that imagery was especially powerful because it was so closely associated with the music, which altered my child-brain forever.”
