# Klankbord Digest January 2025
|
|
|
|
Hello and welcome to the klankbord: a discussion list for the
|
|
klankschool community.
|
|
|
|
### A brief history of Klankschool
|
|
|
|
Back in Spring 2024 there were a few meetings about Klankschool at
|
|
[Varia](https://vvvvvvaria.org), a space for everyday technology in
|
|
the South of Rotterdam. The plan was to start building a community
|
|
space on Wolphaertstraat where members could run classes about sound.
|
|
People voiced their desires and talked with each other on WhatsApp.
|
|
However, due to the upkeep of the building it was not possible to get
|
|
started in this space. Currently, it is not clear when Klankschool
|
|
might be able to move to the location on Wolphaertstraat. Despite
|
|
this, activity around Klankschool has persisted.

## FAQs
|
|
|
|
### What is [Klankschool](https://klank.school)?
|
|
|
|
Klankschool is a loose affiliation of sound artists and sonic
|
|
practitioners based in and around Rotterdam, NL. We hangout on
|
|
Thursday evenings in the social space at
|
|
[Catu](https://radar.squat.net/en/rotterdam/catu). During these
|
|
evenings people [(un)repair](https://unrepair.klank.school) audio
|
|
devices, do circuit bending and hack away on servers. Sometimes there
|
|
are [peformance
|
|
evenings](https://calendar.klank.school/event/3rd-klankschool-dagandavond). Sometimes
|
|
there's a bite to eat. Often it's a bit cold -- so layer up and bring
|
|
your broken audio equipment! Entrance is gratis and donations are
|
|
always welcome.
|
|
|
|
### What's the purpose of this discussion list?
|
|
|
|
This list offers a place to chat about experimental sound
|
|
practices. It's a discussion list which means communication is
|
|
multi-directional. Emails sent to klankbord@we.lurk.org are circulated
|
|
to everyone subscribed to the list. It's good for sharing open calls,
|
|
promoting relevant events, talking with like-minded folks, asking for
|
|
spare electrical components etc.. The list is moderated. To contact a
|
|
moderator directly, email klankbord-owner@we.lurk.org.
|
|
|
|
### Where can I discover off-circuit, sonic events in and around Rotterdam?
|
|
|
|
Klankschool's [calendar](https://calendar.klank.school) is available
|
|
online. There are several ways of subscribing to and sharing events
|
|
(RSS, ICS/ICAL, Fediverse, HTML embed). You can also upload your own
|
|
events to the calendar. It's moderated by a few people who check it on
|
|
a semi-regular basis. Please feel encouraged to
|
|
[register](https://calendar.klank.school/register) for an account,
|
|
this will allow you to upload events more easily.
|
|
|
|
### I wrote some software for making sound, where can I share it?
|
|
|
|
Check out our [gitea](https://code.klank.school)! It's a bit like
|
|
GitHub / GitLab. Send an email to klankbord-owner@we.lurk.org if you
|
|
want a login.
|
|
|
|
### I am organising something at Klankschool, how can I spread the word?
|
|
|
|
Best send an email to this mailing list about your workshop / class /
|
|
performance and / or post it on the calendar.
|
|
|
|
### Is there a membership fee?
|
|
|
|
Not at the moment.
|
|
|
|
### Does Klankschool have a system for sharing sounds with other people?
|
|
|
|
Watch this space! :)
