Die Fader an deinem Mixer krächzen, aus deinem Synthie kommen, wenn überhaupt, nur noch schiefe Töne, dein favorisiertes Effect-Pedal hat den Geist aufgegeben und der Kopfhörer funktioniert nur noch, wenn das Kabel exakt im 72° Winkel ans Gehäuse geklebt wird?
Wenn dir diese Probleme nicht fremd sind und du lernen möchtest sie selber zu beheben, ist dieses Workshopangebot für dich:

In drei Workshop-Tagen lernen wir zunächst die elektrotechnischen Grundlagen kennen, machen uns mit methodischer Fehlersuche (trouble-shooting) vertraut und lernen wie wir die erkannten Fehler beheben können. Im Zuge des Workshops wird dir auch das Löten und der Umgang mit Messgeräten vermittelt.
Du kannst gerne auch ein defektes Gerät mitbringen (ACHTUNG: Bei der Anmeldung unbedingt angeben!) und dieses mit Unterstützung von nosh im Workshop selber reparieren.

English: The faders on your mixer are squeaking, your synthesizer is only producing distorted sounds, if any, your favorite effects pedal is broken, and your headphones only work when the cable is glued to the housing at a precise 72° angle?
If these problems sound familiar and you want to learn how to fix them yourself, this workshop is for you:

Over three workshop days, we will first learn the basics of electrical engineering, familiarize ourselves with methodical troubleshooting, and learn how to fix the problems we identify. During the workshop, you will also learn how to solder and use measuring instruments.
You are welcome to bring a defective device with you (PLEASE NOTE: Be sure to mention this when registering!) and repair it yourself in the workshop with the support of nosh.

[soundinstallation] FICTION LISTENING by Ole Blank

fr, 31.10 & sa, 01.11 at Hafven Hof

Ole Blank works with sound as artistic material and a method of cognition. His practice explores how perception changes when space is heard rather than seen. He understands hearing as a form of relationship—an active process that creates closeness rather than distance.

Many of his works are based on field recordings made over long periods of time in specific landscapes. He is less interested in the documentary aspect than in drawing attention to the fleeting: wind, movement, resonance, disturbance. The microphone becomes a tool for open perception.

Blank’s installations are spaces for listening. They do not create fixed narratives, but rather situations in which sound, architecture, and the body influence each other. His works understand listening as a research practice—as a way of experiencing the world through resonance, not control.

For Trial And Error, Ole Blank is developing a new 8-channel sound installation in which recordings of public places in Hanover are combined with the situational soundscape in the courtyard of the Hafven. The result is a surreal acoustic map of the city in which reality and imagination merge.
The starting point is the idea of fiction listening—listening as an active, meaningful process that does not reproduce sound, but creates it.
The work explores how urban spaces are recomposed through attention, memory, and projection in the ear, forming their own fleeting reality.

[PANEL] Subcultural venues - between dancefloor and politicization

01.11.25 / 16:00 / Rampe / [FREE ENTRY]

Panel will be held in English.

On the Panel:
Fr.JPLA (Institut fuer Zukunft, Rillendisco, ://whatever,
female:pressure / Berlin)
Bennet (Soft Spot / Hannover)
Valley Dolly (Bassiani, Hydrash Collective / Tiflis, Georgia)
Benjamin Grudzinski (Initiative Hüttenstraße)
Host: Cristina Plett (Radio 80000, Tagesspiegel / Berlin)

On the podium, Cristina Plett talks to guests about the status of subcultural institutions and their importance in connecting and politicizing young people - historically and today. They address questions such as: In times of digital connection, are venues still crucial for creating community and political consciousness? How can they do that and what new roles do emerge. How can they anchor contemporary issues to remain relevant beyond the dancefloor today? In addition, we want to find out how such institutions are affected by state repression and how this affects their work.
