About ÄTNA & ensemble reflektor

It's been hard to ignore ÄTNA in German pop in recent years: singer and multi-instrumentalist Inéz Schaefer and drummer Demian Kappenstein draw their inspiration from electronic music, arena pop, jazz and daring forays into the experimental. Their debut album "Made by Desire", released in 2020 on Humming Records, combined catchy hooks with driving beats, well-dosed theatricality and a visual aesthetic that hovers somewhere between performance art and science fiction. Three albums and various features later - including with artists as diverse as Solomun, MEUTE and Peter Fox - ÄTNA are now coming to the Pop-Kultur Festival.

They will be accompanied by the North German chamber orchestra ensemble reflektor, which is also known for its cross-genre escapades. A match that more than just harmonizes. For this special collaboration, ÄTNA have rearranged their songs - more orchestral, edgier, perhaps even more cinematic - and are now bringing them to the stage together with ensemble reflektor for the first time. A real pop culture premiere!
