Berlin Music Tech Meetup

Can you believe the year is already almost over? And yes, it’s been way too long since we last gathered as a community.

The good news is: The wait is over. The final Berlin Music Tech Meetup of 2025 is just around the corner and it is shaping up to be an absolute highlight.

For this special Meetup, we’re joining forces with the Berlin Design Network and partnering with Berlin Partner to close the year with a bang.
As it has become a tradition for our winter edition: a wonderfully diverse lineup of innovators will step on stage to showcase the brilliant, unexpected and unheard of, future-shaping ideas brewing in our community.

Get ready to have your mind blown!

This time, we’ll dive into how sound influences our state of mind – and how to actually use that knowledge. You’ll see one of the most stunning ways to explore music visually, you get to be amongst the first who will discover a new platform that finally gives independent artists real access to professionals, and more surprises you’ll want to witness firsthand.
Plus, we’ll reveal a new project where your input will play a decisive role.

Do not sleep on this. (Re)connect with the Berlin Music Tech community. It’s going to be one for the books.

FREE ENTRY. FREE DRINKS!

PRESENTATIONS

1st Presenter – Tobenna Emekwuru (Music Minds)
As a musician turned founder, Tobenna will share the story behind Music Minds — a marketplace built to solve the overwhelming fragmentation artists face today. The platform brings together producers, engineers, studios, educators, and marketing experts in a single trusted ecosystem, giving creators one home for every step of their journey. His talk will explore how Music Minds was born from personal challenges and how it aims to reshape the future of music creation.

2nd Presenter – Dani Valkova (GOGIA)
Dani will introduce GOGIA. A neurotech gaming platform using sound and light to calibrate emotional states and cognitive performance. Sitting at the intersection of neuroscience and music-tech, it explores how adaptive audio can guide focus, reduce anxiety and unlock flow. This presentation opens a new frontier for creators: using sound as a tool that can measurably influence human state and experience.

3rd Presenter – Fronx Wurmus (Music Mapper)
Can music be organized without categorizing it? What if, instead of relying on metadata such as genre tags, keys, and tempo, we let the sound of the music speak for itself? This is possible with audio machine learning models which have recently become fast enough that you can run them on a laptop. Fronx will show you how MusicMapper makes this capability available to DJs.

4th Presenter – 𝐵𝓇𝓊𝓃𝒶 𝒢𝓊𝒶𝓇𝓃𝒾𝑒𝓇𝒾 (plantasia.space)
Do you know the similarities between a perfect garden and a jungle? Well, now think that plantasia.space is an organic software groWing in between.
plantasia.space is a platform designed for regenerative music — sounds released with the intention that the audience can listen, recreate, and reshape them into new forms. Inside plantasia.space, we are xPlorers who can release sounds and place them inside entangled worlds — artistic representations of physical worlds — and use orbiters — spaceships that transform sound in different ways — to explore and regenerate those sounds, fostering playful interaction and healthy sensory exploration.

5th Presenter – Tim Summers (Mahler Chamber Orchestra)
Tim will present a project that joins highest-quality spatial audio (from Henrik Oppermann of Schallgeber) with highest quality performance (from the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and others) to develop a robust format for music performance in virtual space. The team works to represent performance full and dynamically, re-creating the space from which it arose and bringing the powers of collaboration, skill, and emotional complexity in music-making to the front. Their works have been presented in exhibitions worldwide, and they are now building toward a multi-platform, downloadable product.

Afterwards, we’ll stick around for another 2–3 hours to catch up, reconnect with familiar faces, and meet plenty of new ones.

This time, we get to make new connections with the fantastic people from the Berlin Design network.
