This 24th edition of CTM will feature a notable focus on South Asian electronic music, a showcase of collaborations between African and German artists via the Afropollination project, and sonic portals that run the gamut of psychotropic journeys, intimate melancholia, experiences of war, ceremonies of grief and renewal, and full-blown hyperdrive club nights. A multi-layered collaboration with sister festival transmediale will highlight several multi-disciplinary projects as well as a night of ritualistic noise and post-punk digital mayhem. With longstanding partner MONOM, an evening dedicated to newly-commissioned immersive soundworks that explore interplays between analogue and digital instrumentation will be presented in 4DSOUND. A first-time partnership with KW Institute for Contemporary Art will bridge art and music worlds with a multidisciplinary performance. A multi-day Discourse programme and A2A workshop series round out the festival programme.
