Human Design Workshop

Tue, Jul 28, 4:30 PM

From Berlin Astrology

4.8

Welcome to Astro Meetup Berlin’s special presentation on Human Design - a profound system that unites astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the chakra system, and modern science into a unique map of energetic blueprint. In this 2-hour deep dive, we’ll explore what the teachings of Human Design are all about. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how the system works and why it is particularly relevant in these transformative times. We’ll also touch on the topic of the shifting global background frequency and what it means from a Human Design perspective. In the final part of the session, we’ll explore the different Human Design Types, followed by time for your questions. During the occurrence of a supernova in 1987, the Canadian Alan Robert Krakower, later known as Ra Uru Hu, received a profound revelation that became known as the Science of Differentiation. It reveals the energetic blueprint of life and the mechanics of the planetary program, while supporting individuation and uniqueness in an increasingly homogenised world. Its purpose is to help each individual to align with their unique design and navigate life through their own inner authority. Your host, Pamila, has studied the original teachings of Ra Uru Hu for more than 11 years. As a Reflector, she brings a unique perspective to the system and is passionate about sharing its wisdom in a grounded, practical, and accessible way. **If you want to create your own chart, you can use the link below and bring it either in print or in digital version to follow along with the last part.** [https://wayofcosmicspirit.de/what-is-human-design](https://wayofcosmicspirit.de/what-is-human-design) **Guidelines**: – Start: 18:30 sharp (arrive earlier if you like) – Please stay on the topic of astrology – Respect, warmth, and honesty are essential – This is an event with limited spots, so be sure to RSVP (and please don't cancel last minute) *As an introductory price we'll remain with our 5€ fee, however prices may vary in the future, according to hosts and specific workshops.* *This time, we won't be meeting in a bar or café, but we'll be using the space of a music school, so please bring your own beverages and snacks.* Warm regards, The Astro Meet Up orga team.

Watercolor Day: A Beginner-Friendly Watercolor Workshop

Tue, Jul 28, 5:00 PM

From Berlin Art Workshops

4.4

This course covers the fundamentals of typography—presented in an accessible, practical way with plenty of room for drawing and experimentation. We view type not merely as text, but as form: What is the visual impact of a letter? Why does a typeface appear elegant, playful, bold, or understated? What makes type easy to read? And how can it become part of a drawing, a card, or a small design project? Together, we will explore the visual impact of type, letterforms, spacing, rhythm, composition, and the interplay between typography and illustration. Step by step, you will learn to observe letters more consciously, arrange words more harmoniously, and intentionally incorporate type into your own creative projects. The course takes place in a small group to ensure ample time for individual guidance, questions, and personal feedback. The focus is not on perfection or rigid rules, but on developing a keen eye, enjoying the creative process, and completing a small final project of your own. **Course content:** • Observing and understanding type more consciously • The differences between typography, lettering, calligraphy, and handwriting • Viewing letters as drawn forms • Fundamentals of letter anatomy • Spacing, rhythm, and white space • The visual impact of type and appropriate design choices • Small typographic compositions • Combining type and illustration • Developing a small personal project **About the instructor:** Antje Schubert is an illustrator, designer, and the founder of *süssmädchen.* For over a decade, she has been personalizing jewelry and accessories by hand, working daily with letters, words, and short messages. Through her professional work and personal drawing practice, she has developed a keen sense of the expressive power of type—conveyed through form, line, spacing, composition, and overall impact. Drawing is at the heart of her workshop: letters are not just observed but understood as forms, sketched, experimented with, and developed further through design. Who is this workshop for? This course is designed for anyone who enjoys drawing, designing, keeping a sketchbook, creating cards, or simply appreciates beautiful lettering—or for those who want to incorporate typography more intentionally into their creative work. It offers a practical, accessible approach with plenty of room to experiment. No prior experience is required! Everything is explained step-by-step. You don’t need to be an expert at drawing or have perfect handwriting; all that matters is curiosity, a passion for design, and a willingness to experiment. By the end, you will take home new foundational skills, practical exercises, greater confidence in working with lettering, and a small typographic piece of your own creation. **[Get your tickets (€29) here!](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/typoworkshop/29)**

August Meetup: Interactive Audio

Tue, Aug 4, 4:00 PM

From Audio Developer Meetup Berlin

4.9

On the 4th of August we will host the next iteration of our monthly Audio Developer Meetup, where **Robyn Pacetti** from [Protagonists!](https://protagonists.com/) will be sharing their journey of creating a new kind of interactive audio experience. For our short talk, Fernando Garcia will present their latest research on detecting AI-generated content in hybrid music mixtures. As always, there will be a chance to network over drinks and pizza. Anyone interested in Audio development is welcome! Doors open at 18:00, talks start at 18:15. Please note: Attendance is **strictly limited** to people who have RSVP'd. **Long talk details** **A journey to create interactive, imaginary audio worlds** **\- Robyn Pacetti** What if we could explore imaginary worlds without looking at a screen? Explore environments, engage with characters, be the protagonist — interact with an imaginary world you don't just listen to, but move through and shape through your choices. The founder of Protagonists! talks about her journey creating a new kind of interactive audio experience: the vision, the goals, how it works, what they've built so far, some of the challenges, and what doors this new kind of experience might open — for people and for the audio space. **About the speaker** Robyn Pacetti is the Founder of Protagonists!, an early-stage bootstrapped venture actively building a new kind of interactive audio entertainment: imaginary worlds you step into and shape through your choices — ScreenFree, no graphics. It's a return to the oldest way humans have told stories — by voice, with the listener imagining the world into being — but with agency, so you don't just listen, you act. After 25 years in the games industry (Amazon, Ubisoft, Wooga), Robyn now works at the frontier of interactive entertainment. **Short talk details** **How Much AI Is in This Track? Detecting AI-Generated Content in Hybrid Music Mixtures - Fernando Garcia** AI-generated music is reshaping the music industry. By early 2026, it made up around 44% of daily uploads on Deezer, and studies suggest most listeners can't tell it apart from human-made recordings. This has driven a major research effort on automatic detection, almost all of which asks one binary question: is this track AI or human? State-of-the-art detectors now hit over 99% accuracy on that question. But that isn't how AI actually shows up in modern production. Producers use it as a modular tool: an AI drum loop combined with a synthetic bassline and a human singer's voice. The result is hybrid material that's neither fully human nor fully AI, exactly the case the binary framing can't describe. This talk covers Fernando's work reframing detection for that reality. Instead of a yes/no label, they treat it as a regression problem: estimating a continuous AI energy ratio, the fraction of a track's acoustic energy that comes from AI stems. Fernando will explain why these detectors work at all (they exploit subtle spectral fingerprints left by neural audio codecs), and show how a model trained to estimate that ratio reveals patterns a binary detector misses entirely. The broader takeaway: near-perfect binary accuracy is not evidence that a detector is ready for realistic, mixed-content music. As AI becomes a normal part of production, the question worth asking isn't whether a track is AI, but how much. **About the speaker** Fernando Garcia de la Cruz is ML Engineer at seeqnc, working on AI detection. His interests range across generative models, music information retrieval, and real-time audio software, with a focus on building practical tools for musicians and technologists. He holds an MSc in Sound and Music Computing from the Music Technology Group (MTG), Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, and a BSc in Electronics Engineering from Instituto Politécnico Nacional in Mexico City. He began his career as a software and data engineer in consultancy before moving into audio and music research, working on real-time audio tools and libraries at Dolby Laboratories, AI-generated music detection at BMAT, audio plugins at the MTG with the Essentia library, and most recently as a research intern at Sony CSL Paris. He has also spoken at the Audio Developer Conference and contributes to the Sound of AI community.
