VibeScapes X

A cooperation between KOMMA Esslingen, Pop-Büro Region Stuttgart and Kulturzentrum Dieselstrasse for FLINTA* people. Supported by the Cultural Office of the City of Esslingen.

The event and workshop series VibeScapes X promotes diversity within a still cis-male dominated music industry and aims to offer young FLINTA* people a space and professional guidance to discover and develop themselves musically.
In workshops, we will explore the basics of DJ technology, event technology and the production software Ableton Live, try out our instruments on stage in three open jam sessions, build networks and new friendships, form bands and collectives... and thus make the local music scene more interesting.
