Barely any art form is as collaborative as filmmaking. And many queer filmmakers know what it feels like to create within teams where heteronormative perspectives dominate — where queer ideas are softened, sidelined, or reduced to “niche.” We want to shift that. This is a space for queer filmmakers to come together — to connect, exchange knowledge and resources, and build a network rooted in queer perspectives and storytelling. Our monthly workshop edition serves as a kick-off meeting for a "Make one shortfilm per month challenge" where we build a team, brainstorm and conceptualise ideas together, figure out production questions and determine roles. The main purpose is to work together, have fun and build relationships that hopefully go on to do bigger projects. Let’s build the teams we have been missing!

**They say May is the month of rebirth.** So, may we all gather again and recalibrate our collective oscillators. On **May 18**, we’re moving past the factory settings and diving into the human signal chain. **Connect Beyond the Preset** is an evening dedicated to the tools that make us move and for all the creators, builders, tinkerers, and the curious who know that the most powerful "plugin" in any studio is a fresh perspective. Move away from the isolated glow of your laptop screen and come into a space where conversation flows as freely as the voltage in a modular rack. **It is happening on:** **Monday, May 18 at 6:00 p.m. CET** **FORUM Factory, Besselstraße 13-14, 10969 Berlin** This time, we’re opening the floor to the people building the future of expression. Innovation isn't just about faster processors; it’s about deeper connections. We gather to bridge the gap between the code and the chord, between the builder and the player. This is a networking event in its truest sense. No stiff business cards or corporate bios. Just like-minded people from all areas of life, united by the passion for music and tech, sharing drinks, swapping ideas, and finding their next creative partner-in-crime. Whether you work in the music business, you're a founder, a musician, a developer, or simply someone who loves where music and technology meet, this evening is made for you. **FREE ENTRY. FREE DRINKS!** **Do not sleep on this!** **[RSVP HERE](https://music-tech.de/connect-beyond-the-preset-berlin-music-tech-meetup-24)** \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* **PRESENTATIONS** Expect an evening with local innovators on stage presenting the tools they’ve built to make music education more accessible, push the boundaries of music production, and create new ways of visual expression through music. The presentations are more like open-source conversations. Meet the local community members who are building bespoke tools and hear the stories behind them. No corporate sales pitches. Just raw, creative problem-solving and inspiration. **Presenter I** **Andreas Jacobi** (*CEO und Co-Founder,* [Audiotool](https://www.audiotool.com/) *)* Making music together is magic. For too long, software got in the way. Audiotool is the only DAW built for collaboration from the ground up — free, browser-based, real-time multiplayer. Now we’re opening the infrastructure — so the next generation of music tools can be built multiplayer, and the ones you already love can become it too. **Presenter II** **Aibek Mazhitov** (Founder [Vibely](https://apps.apple.com/uy/app/music-visualizer-vibely/id1528056717)) Aibek is an iOS developer by day and musician by night. He'll be presenting Vibely - a music visualizer app that lets artists and creators turn their audio into stunning visual content in minutes. Inspired by channels like Monstercat and Trap Nation, Vibely is used by creators with millions of followers on TikTok." **Presenter III** **Mohammad Tomaraei** (Founder of something new and special) Almost 40% of new songs on streaming platforms are AI-generated. Human creativity is at risk. That's why I’m building an interactive platform for learning music, singing, and dance through your favorite songs. You focus only on learning what matters to you. It analyzes each song, shows you how it’s built, teaches you how to perform it on instruments like guitar, piano, and drums, and gives real-time feedback as you practice. AI is optional as a personal coach that explains things in a way that makes sense to you. **Presenter IV** **David Pocknee** presents a prototype of [Chordite](https://davidpocknee.ricercata.org/funis/index.html) \- a composition\-first music environment\, inspired by video games\. It is software for musical exploration and experimentation\, designed to live alongside and communicate with your DAW\. It provides space to craft music in new ways\, using 3D graphics\, game controllers\, and musicologically\-informed interfaces\. **LET OTHERS PLAY WITH YOUR TOOL - LIKE FRANK** We will set up tables on which you can place your laptop, speakers, synth, or other hardware, etc. to let the meetup attendees play with it. Like Frank Hahn. He will present [Kreuzberg Audio](https://kreuzberg-audio.com) , a Berlin-based plugin forge building tools for modern electronic music production. At the meetup he'll show three of them: KREATUR (premiere), an AI-powered music production tool that puts generative AI to work as a creative instrument without taking control out of the producer's hands; KA-303, the freshly updated acid synthesizer with a dynamic 32-step pattern grid, polyrhythmic page system, MIDI import and five groove engines; and Reecer Synthesizer, the flagship in free public beta with a triple oscillator engine, 29 filters from Moog Ladder to Polivoks, a quad distortion chain, and a composing section with 150 patterns. You can do this to. Just send us a message here.🙌 ——————————————————————————————————- **WALL OF OPPORTUNITIES** A big piece of paper, pinned to a wall with space for everyone to leave a note. Whether you are looking for a project partner or want to offer your skills and services. **AN EVENT FOR EVERYONE** Whether you are interested in learning more about music, tools for artists, new technologies, music communities, entrepreneurship, or just hanging out with the local Berlin music tech community, this event is for you. **DRINKS** are free **ENTRY** **is free**, but RSVP is **mandatory** **Please 👉 [REGISTER HERE](https://music-tech.de/connect-beyond-the-preset-berlin-music-tech-meetup-24)** *We are grateful that the [Berlin Senate Department for Economics, Energy and Public Enterprises](https://www.berlin.de/sen/wirtschaft/en/) provided us with some funding for this event.*
