Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment bend genre in this remake of Gotye's hit music video 'Somebody that I used to know', with Purcell’s (quite literally) chilling ‘What Power Art Thou’ from King Arthur. The result is an optical illusion where OAE Rising Stars alumni, Dingle Yandell, becomes a part of the frosty background behind him.
