For its 16th edition, CTM – Festival for Adventurous Music and Art shifts our focus from music’s symbolic and cultural significance and interpretation to the use and functionality of sound and music as affective forces. From January 23 to February 1, 2015, CTM 2015 – Un Tune aims to engage with the direct bodily effects of frequencies, sound, and music, as well as these phenomena’s synergistic effects with other sensory stimuli. Artistic experimentation with the affective and somatic potential of sounds and frequencies opens up possibilities of tuning and de-tuning the composite that interconnects body, matter, energy, and (musical) machines – and of exploring our perception.
The festival returns to its previously established constellation of some of Berlin’s most exciting nightlife and cultural venues, including Berghain, HAU Hebbel am Ufer, Kunstquartier Bethanien, Stattbad, and Astra. Supporting a vast and visceral music programme, CTM’s daytime Transfer programme ties together an exhibition, installations, the Discourse series of workshops, talks, and screenings, the 3rd edition of the MusicMakers’ Hacklab, and more.
As always, CTM will be held parallel to and in collaboration with transmediale – festival for art and digital culture – taking place at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Together, the two partner festivals constitute the world’s largest platform for reflection on new technologies and digital culture.
