dear ableton live user group participators,
i would like to sepnd a few words to clariefy the soul and purpose of the ableton live user group berlin meetings [ALUGB], because lately i come across a lot of missunderstanding.
the purpose of the ALUGB meetings is to create a platform for music enthusiasts and lovers from all angles of musical taste that share the use or future wish of using mainly but not necessarily exclusive Ableton Live for creation, production, DJ-ing or any other audio related process.
the meetings live from the fact that we, the music loving users get together in a physical space, face to face... it is about meeting each other and connecting each other, exchanging, tips, tricks, problems and any music and music community related aspect, form the very beginner to the profi.
the 'open stage' policy we continuously provide, came from the inital idea, that we all create in the one or other form 'homegrown' music and can provide that music as our own 'background' during the meetings, furthermore giving especially musicians without great experience or none the chance to perform and receive feedback and the possibility to discuss and explore, etc. the aspects of a live performance, DJ-set.
it is NOT a party or entertainment event as such, even we do always have and love to have a lot of fun.
also we do receive great support from ableton itself and i try to get some presentations and 'workshops' going... it is not an ableton event, we are 100% independend.
the ALUGB lives through you and your active contribution to meet and talk to each other. it is not about you being entertained,
you are being asked to be an active part of the 'entertainment' and meeting each other.
