Summa students design clothes for DJ La Fuente

For the internationally known DJ La Fuente from Eindhoven, style is important in addition to music. Where his clothes are normally made by professional designers such as Joshua van Iersel and Meegan Denkers, now students from Summa College were given the opportunity to do this.

Merel Kamp, Rendo Renshoff, Diede Gloudemans, Rizé van Rijswijck and Lieke Heldens, MBO (secondary vocational education) students at Design Programme, presented La Fuente with a pair of self-designed pants and glasses at Meegan Denkers studio.

For the third-year students it was ‘a dream project’. They worked in teams to develop a collection. The goal? To capture La Fuente’s style and translate it into a clothing package, consisting of a shirt, shorts, t-shirt, sweat and socks. The winning team came up with a striking collection, which suited La Fuente so well that it was decided to put two items into production: a pair of pants and glasses.

Really cool

“Really cool”, La Fuente responds to the pants and glasses. “I normally wear sets, so a top needs to be made for this. The texts on the glasses and pants also suit me perfectly”.

According to teacher Kim van de Laar of Summa Fashion, it is more than a fashion assignment. “It connects students with the city and the creative industry. This collaboration puts Eindhoven even more on the map as a city where fashion, art and music go hand in hand. Normally, the students dance to La Fuente’s music, but this time he dances with their designs”.

Assault after Groots concert: wanted man turns himself in

The man wanted for assaulting another man after one of the concerts by Guus Meeuwis in Eindhoven, has turned himself in to the police. The assault happened after the concert on 22 June.

At around 23:00 that evening, after the ‘Groots met een zachte G‘ (‘Great with a soft G’),  commotion broke out in Philips Stadium on Frederiklaan. This was shortly after the Guus Meeuwis concert there had ended. A 26-year-old visitor tried to calm the quarrel, after which he was suddenly punched hard in the forehead. First aid had to treat his severe head wound.

According to the police, the victim is left with a permanent, visible scar. Photos of the suspect were shown on the television programme Bureau Brabant of Omroep Brabant (local Brabant broadcasting corporation) on Monday evening. He was clearly shown, because he had not reported himself up until then. After the broadcast, the man reported to the police.

Asphalt Stratumseind ​​will be removed in December

Asphalt Stratumseind ​​will be removed in December

The Municipality of Eindhoven will start removing asphalt on Stratumseind ​​and Oude Stadsgracht in December. Instead, cobblestones will be laid.

When redesigning the streets in the city centre, the city council opted for a central strip of asphalt in 2019. This was reversed after it became apparent that cyclists were only too happy to maintain a high cycling pace and the material also caused the necessary heat stress.

That is why it was decided that the newly constructed street had to be dug up again. This will happen from 2 December. First, the section from the intersection of Begijnenhof and Kerkstraat/Catharinaplein will be tackled. This is expected to last until mid-December.

The second phase will start in the new year. From 6 January, the last section of Stratumseind ​​and Oude Stadsgracht will be replaced. The streets should be paved by the end of March. No work will be done on the streets during Christmas and Carnival.

100 sports cards for MBO students

Zoë Rijnders (22) is the first MBO student in Eindhoven to receive a student sports card. In total, the municipality of Eindhoven is making a hundred sports cards available to MBO students.

With the card, they can use the sports facilities in and around the new student sports centre at the TU/e. Zoë received the card from alderperson Robert Strijk (Vocational Education). “MBO students deserve the same opportunities as other students. I think it is great to take another step in the direction with this card where MBO students can fully participate in Eindhoven student life,” says the alderman.

Relationships

The Summa student is happy that the relationship between MBO and HBO students is starting to change: “I think it is recognition for us as MBO students. We are now seen as students rather than pupils. With this card I can do sports together with my friends from other programmes.”

MBO Action Plan

The initiative, in which MBO students – just like HBO students and university students – pay 120 euros annually for their membership, is part of the broader MBO action plan. This plan should ensure more appreciation and recognition for MBO students in the city. The joint introduction week is also part of this plan.

By making a sports card available, the municipality hopes that MBO students will feel more involved in Eindhoven’s student life. The cards are divided equally among the three MBO institutions in Eindhoven: De Rooi Pannen, SintLucas and Summa College.

AI writes Carnival music but can’t do the conga

AI writes Carnival music but can’t do the conga

A longstanding Carnival tradition in Eindhoven is the Lampegats Liedjesfist, a music festival where the best Carnival song of Lampegat is chosen every year. This year there is a special participant in the song festival: a song written by AI.

The Masked Dutchman makes music with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and is participating in Liedjesfist in Lampegat (the name for Eindhoven in Carnival time) this year. He says he has made a “massive Carnival hit” with which he hopes to blow the Carnival audience away.

Prompts

According to the AI ​​artist, making an AI song requires some creativity. “Before you start with such a song, you first have to have a concept in your head. You have to think about what kind of song you want to produce and what it should be about”. If someone has a concept, an AI programme can be used in which prompts, a kind of keywords, are entered. These prompts are a kind of assignments that are given to AI ​​and, for example, determine what the song is about or in what style the song is.

‘It’s not real’

Former winner of Liedjesfist, Auntie Loes, still misses something when she listens to AI ​​music. “It’s fun, it has atmosphere, but it’s not real. I dare to call it a song, but whether it’s a Carnival song is another matter”, she says. “It’s kind of crammed together. You give some formulas, you give some words. It’s actually a can of sardines; everything wants to pop out and sometimes that is the only thing you really hear”.

Limitations

The Carnival singer sees that AI still has many limitations. “Making a joke in between, singing live and doing the conga, those are things that an artist can do, but AI cannot”. The Masked Dutchman agrees with this point of view: “It is an enrichment for musicians, but they do not have to fear competition from AI”.

Nevertheless, they both think that AI does have a place in the music world. “Eventually, people no longer know what to think of. AI then gives you a few suggestions and says: can you do something with this? If you can do something with it, then you use it. You no longer have to think for hours about things like tempo and rhythm”, The Masked Dutchman says. Auntie Loes adds to this by saying: “If you want to write a Carnival song, let AI help you, but make it yourself; make it something of your own, create the feeling, because a computer cannot do that”.

The kick-off of Carnival on the Eleventh of the Eleventh

The Carnival season kicked off again on Monday afternoon in the city centre of Eindhoven. On the 11th of the 11th, the party started again in Lampegat. Markt and Stratumseind ​​were filled with partying people. “The cosiness here makes me happy”.

With music, decorations and an orange-blue coloured sea of ​​partygoers, the Carnival season is traditionally heralded on 11 November. Eindhoven is called Lampegat in Carnival terns, which means light village. The polonaise starts, the beers flow freely and the atmosphere is immediately festive. “Getting together with friends and girlfriends and partying, that’s what makes Carnival really special”, one of the partygoers says.

Hotspots

On Monday, there was a lot of partying in and around Muziekgebouw in Eindhoven. Here, live Carnival music was sung and played. “I’m happily spinning my records, so that the atmosphere will really get going here”, Eindhoven DJ Tavento says. “I just love that cosiness, that makes me really happy”, a Carnival goer, with a face full of glitter, says.

Dancing and flirting

And what is the favourite activity of these Carnival revelers on Markt? “Drinking beers, that’s what Carnival is for me”, a woman, raising her glass, says. For others, it’s the dance floor that calls. “Just dancing in the pub with everyone, and then sometimes flirting”, a man, laughing, says.

Elderly watch PSV match together

It is a cosy Tuesday evening in the canteen of football club Tongelre in Eindhoven. Elderly people from the neighbourhood were invited to watch a PSV match, together with members of the Eindhoven amateur club. The initiative is intended to bring people together and give lonely elderly people a nice evening.

“A day has 24 hours. There are always moments of loneliness. You can do a lot, but in the evening you sometimes feel that, when you are home alone”, says one of the men who has joined the canteen. The initiative is also appreciated by the other people present. “I like football and you are out of it for a while”, says a woman.

PSV played against Spanish Girona on Tuesday night, in the competition phase of the Champions League. There was something to celebrate, because the Eindhoven team won 4-0.

Seniors can register for the viewing evenings via www.supportdesupporter.nl, which will take place in Geldrop and Nuenen at the end of November.

Geldrop-Mierlo concludes purchase agreement with Pali Group

Geldrop-Mierlo concludes purchase agreement with Pali Group

The municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo has reached an agreement with the Pali Group regarding the purchase of the commercial building in which the slaughterhouse was active until April 1 of this year.

After years of wrangling with local residents about odour and noise pollution, the municipality and the Pali Group decided in 2023 to look for another location for the slaughterhouse.

Amount

The letter of intent also stipulated that the municipality would be the first to purchase the locations at Industriepark and Emopad. This is important because otherwise another slaughterhouse could take up residence in the business premises, which could continue to cause inconvenience to local residents.

It will not come to that. Agreement still had to be reached on the purchase price. That has now been achieved.

Approval

That does not mean that the purchase is final. It must first be approved by the city council. The purchase agreement will be discussed for the first time on November 18 and will be voted on December 9.

‘Free academic year at TU/e ​​for winner of mathematics prize’

University Fund Eindhoven promises the winner of the Math Olympiad a year of free study at the TU/e. The fund does this to attract mathematical talent to the region.

The math Olympiad is a national mathematics competition for secondary school students. The University Fund Eindhoven, a foundation that wants to help solve social issues, makes the prize available to encourage talented mathematicians to study in Eindhoven. A year of studying at the Eindhoven University of Technology ​​costs around €2,600.

“The maths Olympiad has been working with TU/e ​​for many years and the greatest mathematicians in the Netherlands participate in the competition. We are happy to help these top talents to make a flying start with their academic education in Eindhoven”, Henk Kivits, chairman of the fund, says.

Appreciation

“We have enormous appreciation for this initiative of the UFe”, chairman of the board of the university, Robert-Jan Smits, says. “There is an insatiable need for top talent in the sciences in the Brainport Region. This helps to bring the best mathematicians to Eindhoven. I congratulate the UFe and of course the winners on this prize”.

The first person to claim the prize will be announced soon. On Friday, 8 November, the winner of this year’s Maths Olympiad will be announced on the TU/e ​​campus.

‘Different market rainbow’ festival is closing down

The edition of last summer seems to have been the last ‘Andere Mert Regenboog’ (different market rainbow) festival. The working group that organised the event annually in Geldrop is stopping. A lack of sufficient volunteers at the participating organisations seems to be the main reason.

Moreover, according to the organising working group of Andere Mert Regenboog Festival, there are now ‘other possibilities and moments to get people enthusiastic about the environment, sustainability and development cooperation’.

“We have noticed especially this year that it took a lot of energy to bring together enough exhibitors who wanted to put the environment, sustainability and development cooperation on the Geldrop map, despite the extra efforts of the municipality”.

Counterpart

The Andere Mert started almost thirty years ago as a counterpart of the Mei’se Mert (May market). A few years later, Regenboogfestival (rainbow festival) started, with a lot of attention for world music. The two events continued together about twenty years ago as Andere Mert Regenboog Festival.
