CTM Festival

October 22, don’t miss Sarah Davachi, fresh off her Silver Lion win at La Biennale. Sarah will present a solo organ concert of new works from her new album The Will of Tongues with several pieces from her 2024 album The Head as Form'd in the Crier's Choir. The evening opens with a selection of Davachi's 'Interludes', a suite of consort pieces performed by a low woodwind ensemble.  Tickets

Showcasing her new album »Ruin: It’s Not Just Music« at CTM 2027 in a special multi-channel spatial format, the harmonic expanses and intricate melodic ecologies of Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith’s earlier work remain, but beneath them now breakbeats and drum-and-bass patterns splinter through a dense strata of synthesis. At the heart of the record combustion and reconstruction converge and consume each other endlessly, a necessary release of accumulated tension through which one world might be broken open so that another may emerge glistening.

The psyched-out aural hypnosis of Spekki Webu and Matti Vilho’s surreal visual worlds come together at CTM Festival 2027 in »Signal Transmutations,« a transmission from a realm where the machinery has begun to spore. A monolithic fungus blooms as a Tree of Life, mycelium tangled with cables and glowing interfaces. Forms and the echoes of forms emerge, submerge through the subconscious to germinate as the music drifts through states of dissoluted trance, caught inside a vast biological process. 🍄 Festival passes & tickets

Turning toward a more immediate and intuitive compositional process, Kali Malone returns to the festival to present two radiant concerts at Gedächtniskirche of her new album »Burning Song«. Lucy Railton on cello and Stephen O’Malley on acoustic guitar join Malone’s pipe organ to play with almost singular breath. The programme will also include select compositions from Malone’s vast organ discography.  Tickets for these shows are already on sale 🔥

when is the collab with Evil Greed?

We're thrilled to present Modeselektor's new album MDSLKTR at CTM 2027 in a world premiere collaboration.

The Jan 24 performance »MDSKLTKR & Guests« will be joined by a variety of the album's guests to be announced soon, including opening sets by pop-detritus jester Kabeaushé and Berlin icon Gudrun Gut. Tickets are now on sale 💥💥💥

On October 13, Rashad Becker’s dense microtonal environments shape artificial voices and unstable interactions that breathe with uncanny organic life. Built almost entirely electronically from modular synthesis, narratives mapping uncharted fictional realms recur heavily in his work, ephemeral realms where no single aesthetic reign dictates form. Rashad opens the Berlin debut of alien black metallists Krallice. Don’t miss this otherworldly aural combustion!

In just one week, the blackened marrow of One Leg One Eye’s Irish doom-folk returns to Berlin, together with Bridget Ferrill's warped alien acoustics. Don't miss this night of visceralities from the trance-state dimension 👽

Join us on 12 September for a free Resynthesising the Traditional evening of Unstable Hallucinations, curated as part of Transgressive Memory Festival 2026. Opening the third ear, Marcin Pietruszewski & Lukas de Clerck's »Oto Aulos«resurrects and morphs the ancient double-reeded aulos. Processed by Pietruszewski as De Clerck plays and sent back into the space in altered form, the aurality of the aulos folds into itself, multiplying and acquiring dimensions beyond the pipes themselves. › Details ☿ ⟡ ♆
