Baumann Bergmann Pokinson

A murmur went through the gaming world when it became public in 2023 that Poki would no longer be making computer games. During his career in the gaming industry, he amassed cultural awards, was discussed in arts sections and academic papers, collaborated with renowned artists such as SMUDO, Götz Otto, Til Schweiger, and Germany's original influencer Gronkh, and wrote his own little chapter in pop culture history with his games.

But what is Poki doing now? The answer is old: what he has been doing for 30 years and now mainly does – music. Together with his favorite people, Anne and Gunnar, the professional frontman of “Baumann Bergmann Pokinsson” has already written 11 years of band history. After performances at the Gamescom exhibition halls and an award-winning tour of sold-out clubs, the three musicians have already achieved top 10 placements in the Amazon indie charts with their first two albums. Their “Safe Space Rock” sparkles with ambiguous wordplay and offers a projection screen and family for their loving, diverse community. In 2024, the restless trio released a mini computer game for their song “Dünnes Eis” (Thin Ice) to mark their 10th anniversary. They are currently working on a new point-and-click adventure, which they will present for the first time at PLAY25.
