MUSIC PRODUCTION CLASS
## **Melodic Masterpieces**
### **an open Music Creation Session for Producers, Singers & Songwriters**
This program is structured into a repeating 4-week cycle, with each week focusing on a key stage of the music creation process—from initial inspiration to a fully mixed production.
At the end of each month, the cycle resets back to Module 1. This allows for continuous repetition, progressive skill-building, and flexible entry at any stage of the cycle.
The workshop is led by **experienced producers who have worked with major artists, record labels, management teams, and global brands**, bringing real-world industry insight into the creative process.
This workshop is designed for **beginners / intermediate-level participants.**
> Connect with fellow Musicians, develop & turn Your ideas into finished tracks.
##### **Module 1: Music Theory, Sample Selection & Sound Design**

##### **Module 2: Beat & Groove Programming**
Development of rhythm, drum patterns, and groove-based elements. This module focuses on timing, swing, layering, and creating dynamic, modern beats that support vocals, songwriting & production ideas.
##### **Module 3: Vision, Songwriting & Recording**
This module focuses on artistic direction and expression. Participants develop song ideas, lyrics, and structure, and (if applicable) record vocals or musical ideas. The goal is to transform creative concepts into tangible recordings.
##### **Module 4: Arrangement & Mixing**
The final stage of the process. This module focuses on arranging the full track into a coherent structure and applying mixing techniques such as EQ, compression, spatial processing & balance to create a polished, release-ready sound.
##### **Feedback & Review Session**
At the end of each cycle, there is a dedicated feedback round where participants receive constructive critique on their work or ask questions. This session focuses on identifying strengths, improving technical and creative aspects & giving clear direction for the next iteration of their projects.

Freedom: Self-Determination, Responsibility, and Human Dignity
**Freedom: Self-Determination, Responsibility, and Human Dignity**
Freedom is one of the most important concepts of human life, political philosophy, ethics, and modern law. It does not simply mean doing whatever one wants. Rather, freedom refers to the ability of human beings to make choices, shape their lives, and act as self-determining and responsible persons. To speak about freedom is therefore to speak about autonomy, dignity, rights, responsibility, justice, and the real conditions that make human action possible.
Historically and philosophically, freedom has often been understood in different ways. One important meaning is negative freedom. This means freedom from external coercion, oppression, violence, arbitrary state power, and unjust interference. In this sense, a person is free when others do not prevent them from thinking, speaking, moving, believing, or living according to their own choices. Negative freedom is central to human rights, democracy, the rule of law, and the protection of individual life.
Another important meaning is positive freedom. This refers not only to being free from interference, but also to being able to determine one’s own life consciously and responsibly. A person is truly free when they can reflect on their desires, understand their choices, develop their abilities, and act according to their own reasoned decisions. For this reason, freedom is closely connected to education, self-awareness, moral responsibility, and personal development.
However, freedom cannot be understood only as an individual right. It always exists in relation to other people. My freedom must be compatible with the freedom and dignity of others. Therefore, freedom requires responsibility, respect, and limits. A free society is not a society without rules, but a society in which rules protect equal freedom for all. Law can restrict freedom, but it can also secure freedom by protecting people from violence, domination, discrimination, and injustice.
Freedom also depends on social conditions. A person may formally have rights, but still lack real freedom because of poverty, lack of education, discrimination, social exclusion, economic dependency, or fear. For this reason, freedom is not only about what people are legally allowed to do, but also about whether they actually have the resources, opportunities, and recognition needed to act freely. Real freedom requires both legal protection and social possibility.
Today, freedom is challenged by many modern problems: inequality, digital surveillance, algorithmic control, economic pressure, political polarization, war, insecurity, and the constant demand for productivity and self-optimization. Modern societies often give people many choices, but these choices can also create pressure, anxiety, dependency, and loss of attention. Freedom can be limited not only by open coercion, but also by invisible forms of control, social expectations, and technological influence.
Freedom also has everyday and existential dimensions. It appears in the ability to have time, space, privacy, silence, rest, attention, bodily security, and the possibility of beginning again. A person is not only free when they can act, but also when they can think, pause, refuse, make mistakes, remain imperfect, and protect their inner life from constant pressure and visibility.
This discussion invites a critical exploration of freedom as a moral, political, legal, social, and personal reality. Freedom is not the absence of all limits, but the ability to live consciously and responsibly within the conditions of human life. Freedom is not only what people are allowed to do; it is also the dignity, responsibility, and real possibility they need in order to shape their lives.

## Nostalgia, Energy & Iconic Moves

Nonviolent Communication meets Authentic Voice
**NVC & Voice Workshop**
This workshop brings together **Nonviolent Communication (NVC)** and **voice work** as two complementary paths of exploring how we express, listen, and relate.
NVC offers a way to understand what is truly alive in us — beneath judgments, reactions, and habits of language. Voice work opens a direct, embodied channel to express that aliveness — beyond words, through sound, vibration, and presence.
When these two meet, something shifts: Communication becomes not only something we *say*, but something we *feel, hear, and resonate with*. Perhaps even something we *are*.
**What we'll explore**
Throughout the day (or weekend), we will move between these two practices, letting them inform and deepen each other:
* How to share authentically — and listen in a way that truly receives another
* How voice can reveal what words alone cannot
* How we can connect deeply to ourselves and others through our authentic sound
* How judgments point toward deeper, meaningful needs
* How the **4 steps of NVC** can be experienced not just cognitively, but in the body
* How needs live in us — and how they can be expressed through both language and sound
* How empathy can be practiced not only through listening, but also through collective voice
**We’ll explore this through:**
* Guided check-ins (spoken and vocal)
* Partner and group exercises
* Embodied explorations of resonance and vibration
* Reflective moments to integrate insights
**The experience**
This is a **practice-based, experiential space**. We will move between speaking and sounding, listening and sensing, structure and openness.
No prior experience with NVC or authentic voice work is needed — just a willingness to explore and be present.
**Practical Details**
* **Location:** Kunstquartier Bethanien, Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin-Kreuzberg
* **Dates:** 13th June 2026
* **Time:** 10:00 – 17:00
**Pricing**
Sliding scale: €70 – €90
**Who is this for?** For anyone curious about:
* Bringing more authenticity into communication
* Connecting voice, body, and inner experience
* Exploring NVC beyond concepts — as a lived practice
* Experiencing connection that goes beyond words
**Registration**

## Your Facilitators
**Martina Pesce**
Hi, I'm Martina. I came in contact with Nonviolent Communication (NVC) through a relationship where I started to grasp the beauty of this tool. After 3 years of self-study and occasional practice, I was touched by how this communication allowed me to connect with my mum in conflict, so strongly that I felt love for her for the first time in 20 years.
Unsatisfied with the lack of mental health support in the neuroscience research field, I decided to switch careers and dive deep into NVC. I trained as a mediator, counsellor and trainer at the Connecting2life school (Yoram Mosenzon). It was a two-year-long process of embodying the tool and then learning how to transmit it so that it could sink in the body. For a year I've been holding my workshops, courses and 1:1 practice.
My approach is based on practice and embodiment. I found NVC very revolutionary and with that respect, I like to let sink in our system a few bits of info at the time, rather than an overwhelming waterfall of theory.

cover art by [Isaac Abrams](https://isaacabrams.com/)
Immersive Resonance is a 7-hour participatory satellite event hosted by Das Baumhaus Berlin that combines dialogue, artistic experience, collective reflection, and embodied practice to explore how New European Bauhaus (NEB) values can be sensed, shared, and lived together.
Positioned at the intersection of FORUM and FEST, the event creates an open and welcoming environment where intellectual exchange, emotional connection, physical engagement, and reflective practices coexist. Through a carefully curated sequence of activities—ranging from discussions and workshops to immersive meditation and celebratory gathering—participants are invited to explore new frameworks for solidarity, balance, and collective responsibility.
Program
16:00 – **Open Greeting Zone (OGZ)**
The event begins by transforming the entire venue into an Open Greeting Zone, where informal introductions and spontaneous encounters are encouraged. This format lowers barriers to participation, supports inclusion, and creates a welcoming environment for diverse audiences. Drinks and snacks are provided to support convivial exchange.
17:00 – **Opening Remarks by Scott Bolden (Baumhaus founder)**: Exploring New Frameworks for Solidarity
Introductory reflections situate the event within the New European Bauhaus values and outline the relevance of solidarity, balance, and collective responsibility in addressing current social and ecological challenges.
17:15 – **Short Film Screening**
Screening of Re:Balance – The Basis for a Social Evolution (6 minutes, English with subtitles), offering a concise artistic and conceptual input on systemic imbalance and societal transformation. Re:Balance serves as a catalyst for dialogue during the moderated discussion.
17:20 – **Moderated Q&A and Discussion**
An open discussion invites participants to reflect on the film and connect its themes to their own lived experiences, professional practices, and community contexts.
17:45 – **Short Break** (food, drinks and snacks will be available all day)
18:00 – **Participatory Workshop: “Transforming Imbalance” (60 minutes)**
A facilitated, interactive workshop where participants identify imbalances in personal, professional, and community contexts and co-develop realistic, actionable responses for the present, alongside longer-term aspirations. The workshop emphasizes collective intelligence, co-creation, and agency.
19:00 – **Workshop Feedback and Open Discussion**
Participants share insights, observations, and proposed actions, supporting mutual learning and collective reflection.
19:45 – **“News You Can Use”**
Short one-minute peer-to-peer contributions where participants share offers, needs, initiatives, or upcoming events, strengthening networks and encouraging continued engagement beyond the event.
20:00 – **Evening Soirée**
An informal, festive networking moment with music, drinks, and snacks, reinforcing the FEST dimension and social cohesion.
20:30 – **FLOW Meditation (60 minutes)**
An active, guided, immersive meditation that fosters awareness, resonance, and embodied reflection, offering a sensory experience aligned with well being and sustainability values.
23:30 – **Closing at Das Baumhaus Berlin**
Optional continuation of the evening at a local cultural venue, reinforcing community connection and cultural exchange.
Immersive Resonance aims to cultivate a shared consciousness and inspire continued participation and action beyond the event itself. By blending dialogue, creativity, and celebration, the event makes NEB values tangible and experiential—fostering beauty through meaningful encounters, sustainability through awareness and balance, and togetherness through inclusive, participatory formats.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
