Recently O.R.k took us back to the beginning, releasing the video for their first ever song Pyre. Now, just as they are about to kick off their European & UK dates ,they bring us screaming back into the present with a new video for Consequence (featuring Elisa), taken from their latest album Screamnasium.
Opening with a beguiling acoustic guitar figure, the track surges into an emotional dark rock ballad as we’re transported inside the consciousness of the troubled protagonist (Martina Sacchetti).
Chiara Orsi, who previously created videos for As I Leave and Don’t Call Me A Joke, returns to direct the beautifully shot cinematic video, which acts as a fitting companion to the song. Moving deeper and deeper into the characters psyche, the layers of imagery match the music in their depth to create an evocative dreamlike environment.
Consequence is also part of yet to be announced feature film scored by O.R.k. vocalist LEF: “When the main character of this feature film gets sick and seems to become mentally ill, she seems to develop what looks like an incredible (almost mystic) new ability. While the connection between our piece Consequence and this sort of truth/illusion dualism seemed to be quite obvious, I found the additional strings layers as the missing flavour to make it sound consistent with the rest of my orchestral score too.”
