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**
This module covers the core foundations of music creation. Participants learn essential music theory concepts, how to choose effective samples & how to design original sounds. The focus is on building a strong sonic and musical foundation for ideas & tracks.
**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.
> It’s a great way to connect with fellow Artists, Producers & Songwriters in Berlin

Cycle & dine - Rathenow to Brandenburg
**ATTENTION - This tour is postponed now to the 4 July due to the heat to be expected this Sat.**
**But everything else stays the same.**
========== FACTS ==========
ROUTE: Rathenow > Milow > Kirchmöser > Brandenburg/H
LEVEL: Intermediate
DISTANCE: 45ish kms
MEETING POINT: 09:20 - Berlin Südkreuz
========== FACTS ==========
========= DETAILS =========
**ROUTE:**
Starting in Rathenow we have a very flat tour ahead of us. The first stop is planned after some 10km at the [GastHof Milow](https://gasthof-milow.com/) which is known for serving very delicious fish. Just in case there might not be enough seats available we will head further to Plaue, passing the Plauer See and then have plenty of other opportunities to sit down, look across the water and enjoy some food and a drink… or two.
The final route depends on mood and weather!
After \~45km we will arrive the main train station in Brandenburg/H where we can hop into any RE1 coming.
**SPEED:**
Leisurely around 14 km/h, at least if the wind doesn't come from the front.
This is like "Being able to see the details on the side of the road and enjoying the view in general… and have a chat."
**DISTANCE AND TERRAIN:**
This is an about 45ish km ride, with mainly solid but also some soft ground.
In general: Bikes with thin tyres (Race bikes, Road bikes, Fixies), rented bikes (Uber, Swapfiets) or any special bikes (Folding bikes, BMX etc.) are not suitable! You won't have fun, trust me!
And if you want to bring Kids or Animals please get in touch before!
**MEETING POINT:**
09:20 - Berlin Südkreuz, at the NORTHERN ticket machine (facing the TV tower) on platform 6.
I have a blue Villiger Trekking bike.
But you can hop in at any other station if you want (and dare).
**TICKET:**
It is 23,60 both ways / person, so this time it does make much sense to organise a BBT. I will get one if at least one other person wants to join me!
And don't forget your "[24-hour ticket bicycle VBB network](https://www.vbb.de/en/tickets/tickets-for-your-bicycle/24-hour-ticket-bicycle/)" ticket which is about 7,50 EUR.
**WAY OUT:**
09:44 - dep. Berlin Südkreuz, platform 6, taking RE4 to Stendal Hbf
10:04 - arr. Rathenow, platform 1
**WAY BACK:**
17:04 - dep. Brandenburg/H, platform 3, RE1 to Frankfurt/Oder
17:38 - arr. Berlin Wannsee, (ME) switching trains to S2
18:01 - arr. Berlin Friedrichstrasse
OR any other train at :04 or :44
**RECOMMENDATIONS:**
Check the train schedule in the morning! The DB loves to stir up the plans by changing trains on short notice! If anything happens the Meeting point is the starting point of the cycling.
While we'll stop somewhere for a lunch and/or coffee please always bring your snacks but especially some drinks along!
And, PLEASE make sure your bike is in a proper state! Check your tyre pressure and oil the chain! Does your light work?
Having a toolset is highly recommended and a spare inner tube to fix a flat tyre a big plus! While we might be able to help in some circumstances please think about what happens if we can't! Thank you!
Bringing special equipment (Helmet, safety vest etc.) is NOT required but welcome if you feel more safe using it.
And in case you need special medical treatment please make me aware of that upfront. Even if everyone is responsible for themselves I'd like to be able to handle it if necessary.

Founders & Builders - Co-Working Session (Deep Work + Social)
Hey everyone, I’m organising a structured co-working event for those who are tired of grinding at home alone.
To ensure that we have both **socialising** + **working**, we'll be using the “Pomodoro” technique:
**50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat! If you get into flow, you're also welcome to skip the breaks.
——————————————————-
AGENDA:
* **15min Intros -** Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today
* **Pomodoro Session** - *Each Pomodoro session consists* *of...*
* ...**50min** of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones)
* ...**10min** of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc.
* Repeat x3
* **15min** Conclude and celebrate your progress
Share your progress, socialise and meet new people. Or just get some work done :)
————
We'll be at Espresso House this time. After the structured part ends, you're welcome to stay longer. See you there 🩵
**\*\*please update your RSVP in advance if you can't attend!\*\***

Chitta Walks - Awareness in Motion
Chitta Walks is for people whose days move fast, while the mind never fully lands. Thoughts keep looping even when nothing is urgent. The body moves, but attention is elsewhere. Over time, this disconnect drains clarity and ease.
This walk is a simple reset.
We meet in Berlin’s Tiergarten and walk at a gentle pace. Parts of the walk are in silence, with light guidance and a few short prompts. The walk itself is the practice, bringing body and mind back into the same moment.
No apps. No performance. Just a clear space to slow down and notice what is happening.
If you want to slow down without withdrawing from life, join a Chitta Walk.
✨ **What to expect (approx. 90 minutes):**
* A short arrival and orientation
* A guided silent walk (phones off, no conversation)
* One concise science-based impulse on attention or stress
* Optional reflection in pairs or small groups
* A simple takeaway or experiment for daily life
🚶**Who this is for:**
* Professionals, creatives, and people in transition.
* People who feel mentally busy and want more clarity and balance.
* Those curious about mindfulness, but grounded and practical.
* Anyone comfortable with silence and gentle self observation.
🔔 **Practical notes:**
* Duration: 60-90 minutes
* Wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing
* No prior experience needed
* Group size is limited to keep the space quiet and focused
🧭 **Facilitator:**
My name is Partha Sarathi, you can call me PS. I have lived in Berlin for over 12 years. With a background in physics and materials science, my interest in mindfulness grew through personal experience with stress and health challenges. I facilitate the space and structure of the walk, inviting shared exploration rather than instruction.
🤔 **Why Chitta Walks?**
Chitta is a Sanskrit word referring to the mind or field of awareness, used here in a practical, non-religious sense.
Chitta Walks is about noticing how the mind works by slowing down and walking together. Mindful walking makes thought patterns visible in real time, while moving and sensing in the world.
The name points to a simple capacity: noticing what is happening in the mind without immediately trying to fix, judge, or optimize it.
🌿 **Possible effects:**
A calmer nervous system.
Clearer attention.
A felt sense of being more present in your body.
Subtle insights into how your mind reacts under everyday conditions.
A quieter, more grounded way of moving through the city.
**Come as you are. Walk. Notice. Leave with a little more space inside.**
Hustle Camp
Hey group members, As some of you might already know, and what we had discussed in the past events, some of us ( including me) are working on our own ideas. Obviously, the progress does not happen in a straight line. There are dips and falls along the way, roadblocks, dead-ends, diversions are common. Should we come together and discuss who is stuck at what stage and if someone of us has solutions ? That was actually, the basic idea of forming this group. I can, in fact , also share some more similar, in fact. more effective platforms for founders, entrepreneurs, aspirants to showcase their ideas, announce their starts or even to seek help. Let see each other on Friday, at our regular meet-up place. To be honest, most of the meetings have a very few of us. But the positive point is : the meeting are really really meaningful, productive, insightful. Lets see what this Sunday brings to each of us. Cheers.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
We’ll cover:
* Why “it looks good” is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
