CTM 2024 is a wrap! We’d like to give a huge thank you to each and every one of those who came by to share, participate, contribute, and dance together. Thank you to all the artists, speakers and participants who were and have been part of the festival—your work is why we keep doing what we do. Big thanks as well to all of our partners, funders, and colleagues who have supported CTM, including our sister festival transmediale, for 25 years of partnership and friendship.

A first batch of recordings and documentation is available for those wishing to explore or relive certain festival moments:

➝ Watch the MusicMakers Hacklab Finale on YouTube, where a group of 10 fellows premiered works created during an intensive week of collaboration

➝ Listen to a selection of sets grouped together in our CTM 2024 at RSO.Berlin soundcloud playlist

➝ Listen to talks from the Research Networking Day 2024 on YouTube, where nine scholard and artists presented their research and projects related to AI and voice, the body in music, and locality of sound. These talks are also available as audio versions on our Soundcloud channel

➝ The Quantum Computing and Sound talks on Soundcloud are available to listen to on the CTM 2024 Discourse playlist, with more talks to be added soon

Refuge Worldwide x CTM 2024 broadcasts are available via Refuge's soundcloud

➝ Check a selection of photos in our Best of CTM 2024 photo gallery

Stay tuned as more recordings will be published soon.

We are also happy to announce that thanks to visitor contributions during the festival, along with contributions from CTM and transmediale teams, our fundraiser this year raised 2600 euro. In light of the catastrophic Israel-Gaza war this year we collected donations for Save the Children's Emergency Fund for the Palestinian Territories, and for ALLMEP – the Alliance for Middle East Peace. An equal share of all proceeds has be donated to each organisation.

We look forward to seeing you next year.

CTM Radio Lab Broadcasts

The first of two CTM 2024 Radio Lab commissions has been recently broadcast and is vailable to stream online via Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

The work »IRL IRL IRL IRL IRL« by User Syndrome, the duo of Rhéa Dally and Freya Edmondes, explores the question what if we didn't fear tomorrow? How would we sustain today?

In their work »MAPS: Electronic Resonances between Mexico and Ecuador« Concepción Huerta and Fe Sexta revive audio archives of pioneering electronic music composers from their respective countries, and map sonic relationships between personal and collective Latin American memory. The work will be broadcast on air in Germany at midnight on 22 March and will subsequently be available to stream worldwide via the above link.

The broadcast by 2023 commission winner Anna Kravets is also now available to stream. Her piece »An Emotional Encyclopedia of War« was broadcast in Feb 2024, marking two years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The Radio Lab is a project by Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Hörspiel / Klangkunst and CTM Festival in collaboration with Goethe-Institut, ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst, and Ö1 Kunstradio. This year it took place within the framework of the sound art initiative tekhnē, which is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.

A new contribution has just been published in the CTM Magazine. In the weeks before and after the premiere of the work »MAPS : Electronic Resonances Between Ecuador and Mexico« by Concepción Huerta and Fe Sexta at CTM 2024, the writer and poet Irene Trejo entered into a »mapping« conversation with the artists, weaving together interview, essay, and poetry formats to give a peek into the sonic worlds, archives, and personal versus collective memories explored in this Radio Lab commissioned work.
