Melbourne based experimental prog-rockers, Orsome Welles, have today released a brand new music video entitled “Maestro”. Like the previous video before it for “Build A World”, “Maestro” is taken from the band’s forthcoming new EP, Rise (which will be released in early 2017).

Once again directed by Adrian Goleby, the band comment on the track:

“The idea behind the video and the concept of the song is a journey inside the mind of a creative person, specifically a songwriter. 
We love the fact that we can bring our songs to life and explore the darker deeper concepts that are lingering in the lyrics.”
The ‘Maestro’, played by frontman Michael Vincent Stowers is a representation of the struggle to control creativity and the feelings of writers block. There is a dark element represented by the ghosts of TIME, VISION, MIND and CHANGE. (played by the other members of Orsome Welles). Focusing on the two main concepts of the Maestro writing in his lair and being haunted in his mind. Orsome Welles had a greater idea of what the finished product may look like with this clip, in comparison to their first video for Build A World. 
“The scariest moment was destroying a burning 100 year old piano in a single take. We had some Rachmaninov pumping over the stereo and I just had to go for broke. 
It was a great way to visualise the frustration that I feel sometimes when the band have a solid song written and an idea is hard to come by.” Michael Stowers

With makeup from Abbey Askers and Liz Wescott, and filmed on location at Diamond Steel Engineering and Brighton, Victoria, check out the new music video below!

For those in Melbourne, you can catch Orsome Welles this Saturday (December 3) at Progfest at the Corner Hotel.

Tickets are on sale now through Wild Thing Presents.
