CTM is commissioning partner of »Jump Cut,« a six-part web series of streamed collaborations between multidisciplinary artists. Following the inaugural episode of Jump Cut presented at CTM 2021, we'll now continue airing episodes with various partners throughout the rest of 2021. Each episode will also include a talk with the commissioned artists.

In this fourth episode, an extraterrestrial lifeform visits the earth and stratifies itself into a geologic formation. When humans come into contact with this formation, their phenomenological time consciousness is altered.

Episode 4 is followed by an interview with the creators Lucrecia Dalt, Aina Climent, Judit J. Ferrer, and Miguel Prado.

Maximilian Marcoll's »Amproprification VI« is an electronic transformation of the 16th century mass »Missa Papae Marcelli« by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. Performed acoustically by the Ensemble AuditivVokal Dresden, Palestrina's well-known sacred work is profoundly transformed and recomposed by Marcoll, who modifies the ensemble's vocal output in real time through electronic amplification.
