This workshop deals with the topic of "release campaigns" and focuses on the visual and marketing aspects of a release campaign.

While thematically related workshops on release planning are more concerned with the product(ion) cycle and thus more with organizational and administrative issues, this workshop focuses on unique selling points, creative aspects and, of course, tools and skills that will help you to consider the aesthetic aspects appropriately and professionally in addition to coherent and consistent release planning, so that your release also stands out visually from the mass of publications.

Music Pool Berlin Community Abend auf der re:publica

Tickets hier

Zum 10. Geburtstag von Music Pool Berlin, sprechen wir mit Musikschaffenden der Gen Z - Wie haben sich die Rahmenbedingungen für das professionelle Musikmachen in den letzten 10 Jahren verändert? Wie schauen Musikschaffende am Anfang ihres Weges heute in die Zukunft? Welche Versprechen von vor 10-15 Jahren haben sich nicht eingelöst, welche verändert, welche entstehen neu? Wir freuen uns, in Kooperation mit der re:publica wieder einen Community Abend auf dem Digitalfestival zu veranstalten und den 10-jährigen Geburtstag von Music Pool Berlin zu feiern.

Music Pool Berlin, die öffentliche Beratungsstelle für Musikerinnen und Musiker in Berlin, feiert in diesem Jahr 10-jähriges Bestehen; den Trägerverein all2gethernow e.V. gibt es seit 15 Jahren. Anlass zu dessen Gründung war die Absage der damals größten Musikmesse im deutschsprachigen Raum. Begründung für diesen Schritt war damals, dass das Internet die Musikwirtschaft zerstöre. Die Reaktion war die recht spontane Planung einer eigenen Veranstaltung, „all2gethernow“ unter Einbeziehung neuer Akteur:innen aus Musik, Tech, der Medienszene und vor allem der Musiker*innen selbst. Aus der produktiven Veranstaltungsreihe wurde dann Jahre später eine feste, öffentlich finanzierte Institution: Music Pool Berlin.   

Heute sehen wir, dass es Musikwirtschaft noch immer gibt, das Internet eine zentrale Infrastruktur für die Rezeption und Distribution von Musik geworden ist, und dass die nächste Generation von Musikschaffenden vor veränderten Herausforderungen steht - von teuren Lebenshaltungskosten in den Metropolen bis zu KI-Musikproduktion.

Wie geht der Beat weiter? Dies möchten wir im Rahmen der re:publica direkt mit neuen Akteur:innen besprechen, auf die aktuelle Musiklandschaft schauen und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten eruieren. Ende der Nullerjahre ging es viel um den Niedergang der klassischen Musikwirtschaft und die Verheißungen des Digitalen - Was hat sich davon eingelöst, was hat sich dystopisch entwickelt, und was ist jetzt ganz anders? Welche Erwartungen haben Musikschaffende der Gen Z heute? Was sehen sie problematisch, was möchten sie verändern, welche Möglichkeiten sehen sie?

Moderiert von Andrea Goetzke und Eric Eitel als Mitgründer*innen von Music Pool Berlin, sprechen wir mit:

Amir Naghavi aka AAMIROO is DJ and curator from Iran. His interest lies in finding crossings in electronic and experimental sounds and different musical motifs from Iran. In collaboration with “Mikubat ” (a Vancouver-based Artist), AAMIROO is currently experimenting with introducing the underrated early 2000s Electronic music of Iran to the world of Techno and House through a project called “SAHNEHTRONIXl”.

... weitere Sprecher*innen sind in Planung.

Gesprächsrunde: 18:45 - 19:45.

Im Anschluss 20:00 - 22:00 DJ Set a2n_soundsystem im Community Garden, Hall 8. Wir gehen alle zusammen dorthin und können uns bei Drink und Musik weiter austauschen.
