Album chapter / Ostberlin 1980-1994

Plattenbau

Plattenbau is an album chapter inside A.N.K.A.: concrete, window light, tape noise and Ostberlin 1994 as the first released song from that world. It is one chapter, not the whole identity.

A Name Kept Alive

A.N.K.A. stands for a name that keeps living through songs, figures and media. The avatar is part of the system, not proof of a single real-life artist persona.
