Come and show your music skills at the second event of “Speed Comp and sharing”, which is an evening where you will be given a bunch of samples, some instructions, a limited amount of time and you’ll have to make a track!
After that we are going to show each other our tracks and explain how we did it.
The second episode’s rules are: You must make music on an opensource OS (Linux, FreeBSD etc…), you can still use proprietary DAW and VST plugins for FXs, you must use only the samples given at the workshop and you’ll have 30 minutes to build your track. 🙂

Proxy Cafe, a place and moment where we gather to talk about computers, free and opensource software, to follow or give a workshop, share skills. Feel free to come for a workshop, to have a chat, a drink around a pizza!
Free software workshops. Discussing tech and politics, GNU/Linux, fixing computers and revive old laptops, free and opensource software workshops. Zapatista coffee.

Every Wednesday from 15:00 till 19:00, Joe’s Salon.

After a hiatus of the great past edition, Lonely Wednesdays becomes Joe’s Salon (saloon? :D) on a (semi-)regular basis to serve as a Third Space for all who miss somewhere else to hang out that isn’t work, home, or the bar.
Come with a book, or your favorite game, snacks, or nothing at all; tell your friends, see who shows up, chat with strangers; chill in the garden, snoop around the free shop, or just zone out.
This time we open 15:00-19:00 or so, next installments TBD (suggestions and volunteers welcome!). (Herbal) teas and coffee and snacks will be served. Event is free.

Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Hukkle (György Pálfi, 2002)

By: börek - May 10th, 2025  Filed under: Filmavond

Sunday May 11, 2025, Can Dialectics Break Bricks Cinema: Hukkle * (Hiccup) * 2002 * by György Pálfi * 78 min * In Hungarian and Czech with English subtitles * doors open at 20:00 * intro & film start at 20:30.

This is a gorgeous little gem by Hungarian director György Pálfi. There is a small genre of films that is hugely neglected of movies that don’t rely much on dialogue. This has a bit of dialogue, but it’s minor and mostly inconsequential… for the most part it’s emerged into real life and nature. It’s a movie that steps back to see the bigger picture, and it makes most other cinema look incredibly fixated and narrow-minded in contrast.

In this journey we are tossed into a small countryside village in Hungary. In a seemingly random series of vignettes we see the entire environment unfold with all of its dynamics. Ants, an elderly man, a tree, a pig, an open field, a close-up of an ancient sewing machine, crickets… they are all more or less given the same importance. After all, they are all residents of this rural community. The movie drifts, and woven into this chain of events there is a story, but it’s a subtle one. In fact, it’s so minor you could even miss it perhaps. This is the kind of film that encourages you to open up, sharpen your perception and really see with your own eyes. The images are astonishing, and feel fresh… and the effect, in the end, is that you and your imagination are sent reeling.

The soundtrack likewise also tends to take the side of nature, in the sense that whenever human words are spoken tend to be smothered by the sounds of leaves crunching, birds singing, dogs barking and insects buzzing. The film can be seen as a deadpan comedy, a lyrical ode to pastoral life, and perhaps even the sinister presence beneath the surface of everyday life.

Film night at Joe’s Garage, cozy cinema! Free entrance. You want to screen a movie, let us know: joe [at] lists [dot] squat [dot] net

Radical Sunday School: Aging, Death, and Body Horror

By: börek - May 10th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday May 11, 2025, Radical Sunday School: Aging, Death, and Body Horror. From 18:00 till 20:00.What are the true horrors of aging? Is it growing older? Your body and mind failing? Or is it the looming prospect of death itself? We desperately try to hold on to our youth, it seems. And what do you expect if we are incessantly told by capitalist society that youth equals beauty, vitality, and desirability…? Is the true horror of aging not the system that creates and exploits these vulnerabilities?

Let’s revolt against this system together! Against ageism, exploitation and these expectations! At this Radical Sunday School session, we discuss our own personal experiences, realities, and fears revolving around aging, death, and our decomposing bodies – all in an attempt to find ways to accept the reality of aging and death, and reclaim our bodies that have been turned into horror.
