Consol4 Proberaumzentrum

In the location's words:

Consol4 is more than just a collection of rehearsal rooms!

Ideally, it should also be a place of creative development across musical styles, a place of mutual support and enrichment. As a publicly funded venue, it is just as committed to cultural education as it is to being a place of musical and music-economic learning (promotion of young talent). Consol4 should develop into a further creative and cultural-political center of the (music) scene in Gelsenkirchen and enter into a constructive exchange with other centers (also beyond the city limits).

The development / The idea
Since the 70s, the trend from pure music consumption to do-it-yourself has increased, and more and more young people formed bands that rehearsed in basements, garages or backyards. This repeatedly led to conflicts with local residents due to noise pollution. Many bands are therefore always looking for suitable premises where they can pursue their interests. In many cases, there is also a lack of facilities where workshops or smaller performances can be held in addition to rehearsals.

The concept
Consol4 aims to do justice to the fact that music, as one of the most important and most widely realized art forms, is becoming increasingly important for social, socio-educational and communicative processes. Based on the demographic structure in Gelsenkirchen, the Musikhaus can help young people in particular to strengthen their self-image and realize their own interests by encouraging them to "make music themselves". The Musikhaus should primarily serve as a music rehearsal center and not as an event center. In addition to the possibility of improving the musical development opportunities of young people, the Musikhaus will offer opportunities for communication, cooperation, education and further training and for actual musical outings.
Consol4 is intended to create a lively, mutually stimulating environment in which young people and adolescents can find a basis for developing their music and themselves. The aim is to create synergy effects by enabling the various musicians to pass on their know-how or receive new impetus for their own musical development.
Support is to be provided by professionally competent staff. The musical offerings in the area of popular music are to be expanded by a music school in Gelsenkirchen. In order to rehearse the effect of their own performance, an event room with a stage will be used for live presentations.
