Watch the CTM 2025 Resynthesising the Traditional Lab Finale
During CTM 2025, the Resynthesising the Traditional artistic lab regrouped eight artist fellows selected via open call to engage critically and in-depth with aesthetic, discursive, and technological approaches when connecting to musical and cultural heritage. Evoking resynthesis—a processing method in computer music that analyzes sounds to extract their fundamental components—as a guiding metaphor, the lab aimed to in various ways confront conservative views of culture as something frozen, solidified, and generally untouchable, thus resistant to any transformative practices. On the final festival day, the fellows of the artistic lab came together to present their various practices and some of the sounds, themes, prototyping, and ideating that took part during the lab.
