From January 24 to February 2, 2025, CTM Festival will bring the latest developments in experimental music, avant-garde pop, sound art and club culture to outstanding venues in the city of Berlin such as Berghain, silent green, radialsystem and Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz.

Now in its 11th year, the festival’s Radio Lab Call supports the creation of new works at the intersection of radio and live performance while also responding to the theme »affection«. The initiative is led by CTM Festival and Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Radio Art / Klangkunst in collaboration with ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst, Ö1 Kunst zum Hören, and tekhnē.

The call is open to artists worldwide and relevant to fields of experimental music, sound art, radio art, new radio drama, and performance. The commissioned works will premiere at CTM 2025 Festival in Berlin (24 January – 2 February 2025), and will be broadcast in Deutschlandfunk Kultur’s Klangkunst programme in Spring 2025 in the form of a 40–55 minute radio piece. The Österreichischer Rundfunk (Austrian Broadcasting Service) will also present the works via one or more of its platforms: the Ö1 Zeit-Ton or Ö1 Kunst zum Hören radio shows, and/or the ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst festival in Graz (Autumn 2025). The Radio Lab call’s focus is on live performance formats rather than installations.

Application deadline is 30 September 2024.
