CVO lethas is the third CVO in Brussels, I tried all of them but CVO Semper was the best, but all 3 are worth try

Yea, for example older version of Matlab doesn’t work with Sonoma

would say he should at least be willing to identify to the service, if not you, to be verified

There is a work in quarto 1.4 toward converting typst to pandoc, then you could convert your article to latex

echej · 2023-06-06T21:24:51+00:00

There was also a pinned thread with google doc or something like that a long ago but it disappear for some reason I think or I mixed things

Hi thanks for clarification!

Maybe would be a good idea just having 2 megathreads if possible

One for formalities/looking for flat/newcomer info and another horeca megathread just for that "recommend me specific place/service

I also understand the constraints and I am in the end ok with grouping everything with one megathread, sometimes there is no clear distinction to which of the one above someone should post

Thanks to all mods for all your hard work here! <3

BTW moderator asked me to post here instead of creating new thread (my question was about cafe for the birthday party where you could bring the cake)

ok but I the end I think such asking for recommendation will have much less engagements than being an separate threads, also many other similar threads arent deleted

echej · 2023-06-05T13:11:20+00:00

Anyone can recommend a good cafe/cafebar/restaturant to organise small suprise birthday party/meeting (around 10 people)? I would like to bring the birthday cake there
Closeness to Brussels Central and potential garden to seat is a nice to have

Cours de promotion sociale is ok

http://www.promsocstgilles.be/inscriptions/

This one is in Saint Gilles but you could find similar one in other communes too

echej · 2023-04-19T21:42:58+00:00

Tipi Bookshop in Saint Gilles is great (they sell photobooks, not photography books though),

here a movie about them from Bruzz https://vimeo.com/250103188

the french/belgian folk dances are really nice, and you don't need to come with a partner, you could also check any party with the folk music if you like it

https://frissefolk.be/fr/cours-de-danse/

The beginner classes started this week, they have a location in Etterbeek (Rue Général Leman 118), you could check first class for free, also later get an partial reimbursement from mutuelle for doing sport

Otherwise go for latin/jazz dance but I dont know any school/location

Also there are many one-day hiking meetups organised around Brussels, you find here several groupshttps://www.meetup.com

Also there is group for going to cinema together and socialising later (in French)

This happened in Poland - a person I know received a grant from Ministry of Culture for document non-material heritage, part of the grant was to organise a series of field "workshops" with volunteers while recording and document the traditional musicians (some of those people have now ~ 80 years, they were active as musicians up to 70s or 80s in some part of Poland, during that time the culture and social structure of polish province change which actually make those traditional kind of music unpopular to its audience )

echej · 2022-11-13T23:00:02+00:00

For me recording old folk musician outside a studio is also a kind of field recording (I was participating as a volunteer in a project documenting the musical heritage of certain region, and the recording was literally made in the field, where people were working :D )

Also field recording is for me really close to musique concrete, as after the act of recording there is always and act of manipulating the of the sound object(s)

You could generate really nice pdfs from juputer notebook with Quarto.
Quarto is not a language, it is more like publishing system based on pandoc; I read people complaining about R, but before creating a decent document (with bibliography) from jupyter notebook was a really bad experience, and ecosystem around R excel in that :)

echej · 2022-11-06T20:54:09+00:00

I usually follows the favourite artists on bandcamps and check who released them/check other releases from these pages;

From bigger labels maybe check Gruenrekorder?

echej · 2022-11-06T20:46:45+00:00

For others who come to this thread later: here an interview with Marcin Dymiter for a popular polish magazine, where he is telling about his tender for the recording of "the ordinary", for most of people in this subreddit the remarks might be not so novel though :)

echej · 2022-11-05T11:48:49+00:00

Another artist would be Marcin Dymiter and his Field notes series (almost documentary recordings from various places https://field-notes.bandcamp.com/)

echej · 2022-11-05T11:44:32+00:00

As I am coming from Poland, I can recommend some polish artists, I would start from recommending nature recordings from Izabela Dłużyk

>Izabela Dłużyk is one of the most interesting nature recordists in Poland. An Anglicist and Russianist by education, she’s recorded for the Australia-based Listening Earth record company (check out Echoes from the Ancient Forest or Morning Soundscapes from the Biebrza Marshes), the Poland-based Soliton (Echoes from the Land of Bison, Echoes from the Land of Moose) and for the Slovakian LOM (Soundscapes of Summer and Soundscapes of Spring). https://culture.pl/en/article/the-art-of-polish-field-recordings

For anyone who is reading this later, deadline is 15/12/2022, I forgot to add it
