Cloud Rider, the first video for Paul Kalkbrenner&#39;s forthcoming seventh album, suitably entitled 7, is the opening salvo&nbsp;of a music video trilogy directed by Björn Rühmann&nbsp;called FLORIAN, which focusses on the increasingly painful adventures of a true innocent abroad.Florian, with ill-advised open-heartedness,&nbsp;attempts to share the music he loves with strangers via his headphones, only to receive continual rejection, and increasingly, aggression.&nbsp;It is meant to parallel the peculiar outsider role of the electronic dance music genre in the US. Despite its origins in Chicago and Detroit, the electronic style to this day hasn&rsquo;t arrived in mainstream America and is paradoxically considered &lsquo;foreign.&rsquo;The trilogy was written by Alexander Nowak and Felix Richter,&nbsp;two creative directors at ad agency Droga5. It&#39;s the first time the agency has been involved in making a music video, and at the moment there is no visible involvement of another brand.And If this is being produced under a more advertising type of model, its a fascinating first step - both funny and harrowing - and shows that Björn Rühmann is a talent to be reckoned with.&nbsp;&nbsp;
