Keinemusik (&ME, Rampa, Adam Port) ft Bell Towers 'Pay To Play' by Max Siedentopf
Rob Ulitski - 22nd Dec 2021
Max Siedentopf's new music video for Keinemusik takes the German pun of the 'ear worm' to a whole new level.
Director and artist Max Siedentopf is known for his conceptual, whimsical and refreshingly humorous work, and this video delivers the same idiosyncratic energy we have grown to love. Whilst the lyrics are about love, Siedentopf spins the concept in a completely different direction, and what seems to be taken out of context remains in the memory like a good catchy tune.
We open on a bald, middle-aged man ready to feed his pet gecko, before a worm squirms its way into his ear. The man immediately loses his mind, smashing through the wall to the next apartment and flopping over the balcony, falling and bouncing off of a car.
As he swivels and gyrates down the street - much like a worm would - passers by also start to lose their minds, as their bodies distort, crush and amalagamate.
Shot in Berlin on 16mm, the scenes look weird but cinematic, and build to an absolutely oddball climax.
