Local artists of the growing ambient music scene in Berlin are encouraged to collaborate together, while exploring new directions and mediums.

The artists involved are creating new textures, sometimes through improvised shows with different elements and effects that are unique to their practice.
Weich started at Kwia in November 2021 and is now moving locations across Berlin.
