CTM – Festival for Adventurous Music and Art
CTM Festival connects multi-perspective experiences, critical reflection, hedonism, and collaborative learning via a yearly festival and continuous collaborative projects, publications, commissions, concerts, club nights, and more, both locally and worldwide.
For over 25 years, CTM has been highlighting new strains of pop and fringe cultures that venture through the weird, the challenging, the cathartic, the esoteric, the contagious, and the ecstatic – simultaneously exploring sonic histories, contexts, and political and technological entanglements. Though international in its approach, CTM remains deeply rooted in and committed to Berlin’s DIY and club scenes, from which it emerged in 1999.
CTM is an independent, non-profit initiative built, from the very start, on constant collaboration, with activities that highlight a large and ever-expanding range of practices in and around sound. Through yearly themes, the festival experiments with formats, locations, technologies, and ways of listening, creating multiple entry points from which to engage with sound and its contexts. Since it’s inception CTM has taken place parallel to and in collaboration with transmediale, an overlap that aims to offer an expansive yearly window into current themes in music and digital culture.
