---- About our partners //

NIGHT SCHOOL is an event series based on discourse, live performance and networking. Our mission is to support marginalized female-identfying, trans and non-binary artists and activists in Berlin’s independent music scene. Using an Intersectional feminist perspective, we invite innovators and artists to explore relevant topics - peer to peer, connect musicians to industry experts, offer collaboration opportunities, and elevate visibility with live shows. Our goal is to bring the music community closer towards equality and diversity, therefore establishing a platform that brings continuity and a Do-it-Together ethic in one space where we can strengthen the next generation. supported by the Musicboard Berlin GmbH

musicBwomen - art.business.media. - is part of the nationwide Music Women Germany initiative, for the promotion, networking and visualisation of women* in the music (-business) industry. No matter if artist, business, media or tech - from conductor, manager, entrepreneur, musician, producer to technician, all women in the music industry are offered qualification, networking, presence, participation and empowerment.

We network music women* through meet-ups and networking events with partner initiatives and activists*. Thanks to the support of Musicboard Berlin, we were able to create the foundation of our network in 2019. The resulting #musicbwomen advisory centre gives the music women* space for thinking, exchange and design and supports further education and workshops that promote the future of pop culture. In addition, our website musicBwomen Berliner Musik gives Berlin music initiatives a networked platform and offers a visible springboard through a database of Music Women Germany.

Andrea Rothaug (Bundesverband Popularmusik e.V.) founded these initiatives in cooperation with RockCity Hamburg and musicHHwomen with the aim of installing networks (on board - musicBwomen, musicBWwomen, musicBYwomen, musicHHwomen, musicNDSwomen, musicNRWwomen) in all 16 federal states.

Music Women Germany is the independent umbrella organisation of the regional 16 state networks (partly in the process of being founded) for the promotion, networking and visualisation of women* in the music industry, but also existing networks in Germany, Music Women Germany was founded on 19.09.2019 at the Reeperbahnfestival. Also on board is the first nationwide database of all music women*.

The aim of the new platform www.musicwomengermany.de with its integrated database is to promote gender equality and the participation of music women, sustainably through all levels of professionalism, age and regardless of origin. Our motivation is to make the local music culture and economy diverse, diverse, digital and networked in order to achieve professional equality of access for women to the music business.

Music Industry Women is a network within the German Association of Independent Musicians and Music Companies (VUT) for women working in the music industry in Germany. Ziel des Netzwerks ist neben des Austauschs, eine Plattform zur Weiterbildung zu schaffen, inspirierende Menschen zu treffen und verstärkt für die Wahrnehmung von womxn innerhalb und außerhalb der Musikbranche zu sorgen. Langfristiges Ziel ist, dass zukünftig vermehrt Womxn – und zwar auch in Führungspositionen und als Gründerinnen – die Branche mitgestalten. supported by the Musicboard Berlin GmbH

Gizem Adiyaman, aka Meg10 is an activist, political educator, and DJ. In 2017 she co-founded Hoe__mies, with Lucia Luciano. It is a Hip Hop party series and community space centering around women*, non-binary, and trans people. In 2019 they hit the road and DJ‘d as opening act before live touring shows and on the stages of larger festivals (Melt/Juicy). In November 2019, they participated in a two week residency called Night Embassy _ and created Sweetest Taboo where they created workshops, panels and a poppin’ party program.

Hoe__mies is a DJ Duo consisting of Lúcia Lu & Meg10 as well as a Hip Hop party series that quickly garnered popularity and became one of Berlin’s favorite nights. What sets us apart is our political approach to make the Hip Hop scene more inclusive for womxn, non binary and trans people. We serve as a platform for DJs and performers often overlooked by the mainstream, and challenge male dominance in Hip Hop and other urban genres.

Sanni Est was born and raised in the North-East of Brazil, where she absorbed strong influences from euphoric heated beats as well as melancholy romantic lyrics. After 5 years of studying classical music and music theory at the Conservatory, she moved to Berlin where she played Afro-Brazilian drums in a percussion group for a couple of years whilst falling in love with the underground electronic scene. As an attempt to put together melodic needs with thirst for bass and beats expressed through audio-visual experiments, this project was born. https://www.facebook.com/sanniest/

Empower is an afro-futurist and queer-feminist festival made out of Sanni Est's own dream of an event where her music and community had the platform that was missing in the city. Featuring some of the most important music, audiovisual and visual art being made by queers and people of color. They seek alliances between marginalized groups - between various gender, racial and sexual identities.

Music Pool x Music Tech Meetup

Music Pool x Music Tech Meetup

For this community evening we join Music Tech Germany for a meetup, for musicians and people working in music tech to get to know each other, and for everyone to learn more about current music tech developments with relevance for musicians.

What to expect: Four presentations on current topics in the field of music technologies, a Q+A with the presenters to ask your questions, an exhibition of installation and prototypes, a board to post a note what you are looking for or what you want to offer, a DJ set, and time to meet each other over a drink.

PRESENTATIONS:

KNOW YOUR GAME - ARTIST EMPOWERMENT THROUGH ACCESS TO DATA ANALYTICS
Florian Richling, founder ForTunes
With the increasing number of opportunities that digitalization has created, music creators often struggle to take on the responsibilities of this newly given freedom. After working in the music industry for 20 years, Florian Richling has co-founded ForTunes.io, the first artist-centric music data analytics service. Florian will tell you why artists used to wish their records could talk to them and about his team's journey to level the playing field for the independent music industry.

AI TOOLS & MUSIC CREATION: SHOULD I CARE ABOUT IT AS A MUSICIAN?
Dr. rer. nat. at Stephan Baumann, Senior Researcher AI for Music at Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz
AI is on everyone's lips. Especially in the field of creativity, many questions are posed that alternate between utopia and dystopia. In this talk Stephan Baumann wants to give background knowledge, insights and present some examples. Since Stephan is working as a musician & AI researcher (since 1992) a little bit of introduction to the methods and algorithms will be sketched on a level for a non-technical audience.
What's going on? What is not working? Where are we heading to?
What does this mean for me as a composer, sound designer, artist or music producer?
Will AI Tools not simply be part of a long tradition of music technology (Mellotron, Moog Synthesizer, TR808, Fairlight Sampler, DAW, … ) that has always produced something new in the hands of the best artists instead of replacing the musicians?!

HOW MUSIC GETS BACK ITS VALUE BY GETTING A PHYSICAL MEDIUM AGAIN
Peter Rullmann, Founder MusiCards
Peter is a computer scientist interested in what's beyond touch screen interfaces.Having grown up with vinyl, compact cassettes and CDs, Peter jumped on the MP3 trend very early and was impressed by the easy access to the vast world of music. But soon he realized that easy digital access went hand in hand with a loss of visibility of those pieces that were dear to him. By bringing back the physical medium, music is getting back its multi-sensory experience, it's presence and in the end also its value.

EXPLORING THE POSSIBILITIES OF AI AS A MUSICIAN
Rania Kim, musician - Portrait XO
Portrait XO is a music artist exploring all the possibilities of where we can go with AI, sound, and new media. Heavily influenced by emerging technology, her most recent project is a collaboration with CJ Carr from Dadabots using machine learning to inspire creativity in music making. Learn about her story, creative process, how she collaborates with technologists and scientists, and her latest single AIV1 from her debut AI music album '_____ __ _ WIRE'.

Beer will be sponsored by BRLO who will provide us with their DOWN beer which they have created in collaboration with Run The Jewels.

IMI Winery will provide us with a selection of their super delicious wine.

DJ: Freak A. Della
