Music has always been a remedy for the ruthlessness of this world, a tool for altering our own way of being and for creating community. With the Turmoil theme, CTM 2018 inquires into the potential of sound and music to invigorate resilience and awareness at a time when we have begun normalising the ongoing barrage of political, social, and environmental crises and the resulting disquiet that resonates through our on- and offline lives. The festival explores the state of music and sound practice in the face of a confusing and critical present: What is the sound of turmoil? What are aesthetics of tumult? Which other sonic and musical responses could we conceive of to counter the current overload of agitation?

Musik war stets ein Mittel, um die Zumutungen der Welt zu bändigen. Aber auch ein Mittel, mit dem sich unser In-der-Welt-Sein verändern lässt. Während wir uns täglich selbst dabei beobachten können, wie wir den fortdauernden Druck politischer, sozialer und ökologischer Krisenmomente und den dadurch ausgelösten emotionalen Aufruhr als eine neue Realität normalisieren, führt das Festival seine Beschäftigung mit den widerständigen Potentialen von Sound und Musik fort. Mit dem Thema 2018 Turmoil fragt das Festival nach dem Sound innerer und äußerer Krisen und nach den Möglichkeiten von Musik angesichts der ebenso aufwühlenden wie frustrierenden Gegenwart. Was tun mit solchen Intensitäten? Gibt es eine Ästhetik des Tumults und der Aufgewühltheit? Welche klanglichen und musikalischen Antworten auf die gegenwärtige Überlast von Erregung, Angst und Auseinandersetzung lassen sich denken?

As always, the CTM 2018 programme is built on two pillars: first-hand experience and critical reflection. Club events, concerts, and installations are complemented by a broad-ranging daytime programme of talks, workshops and networking events. Traversing these formats, a special programme this year is de dicated to the potentials and alarming consequences of new A.I. technologies in music and beyond. The debate around A.I. at CTM informs special concerts & performances, a series of lectures, and the MusicMakers Hacklab. It also feeds into the CTM 2018 Exhibition that presents diverse artistic responses to technological, political, and personal turmoil. Another programme focus within this edition is dedicated to exchanges between music and innovative forms of dance and movement.

Wie immer ruht das Festivalprogramm auf zwei Säulen: Konzerte, Clubnächte und Installationen ermöglichen unmittelbare Erfahrungen, während das Tagesprogramm mit Vorträgen, Gesprächen, und Workshops ein Forum für kritische Reflektion und Austausch bietet. Quer durch diese Formate widmet sich dieses Jahr ein besonderer Schwerpunkt den verheißungsvollen wie bedrohlichen Potenzialen der künstlichen Intelligenz in Musik und darüberhinaus. Konzerte und Performances, Vorträge und das MusicMakers Hacklab erkunden und diskutieren Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der K.I., wie auch Teile der CTM 2018 Ausstellung. Sie zeigt künstlerische Reaktionen auf die Zerrissenheit und Kontroversen unserer Gegenwart und das dadurch ausgelöste technologische, politische und persönliche Unbehagen. Ein weiterer Programmfokus gilt dem besonderen Verhältnis von Musik und innovativen Tanz- und Bewegungsformen.

The huge »Physical Rhythm Machine_Boem BOem« installation at the Halle am Berghain, as well as a wide-ranging partner programme with performances in 4DSOUND at MONOM, the spectacular SKALAR installation and live performances at Kraftwerk Berlin, and the »inside/out« concert at Akademie der Künste round out the festival’s 10 days.

Die großformatige Installation »Physical Rhythm Machine_Boem BOem« in der Halle am Berghain, ein umfangreiches Programm mit Performances in 4DSOUND bei MONOM, die spektakuläre Installation und Live-Performance SKALAR im Kraftwerk Berlin sowie das »inside/out«-Konzert in der Akademie der Künste komplettieren die 10 Festivaltage.

Anne de Vries ‡ Frédérick A. Belzile ‡ Guy Ben-Ary ‡ Jessica Ekomane ‡ Lawrence Lek Peter Flemming ‡ Teun Vonk ‡ Zorka Wollny & Andrzej Wasilewski ‡ ZULI The CTM 2018 Exhibition presents diverse artistic approaches – often playful, always political – that respond to CTM 2018’s Turmoil theme. Music’s role in fostering and releasing collective emotions is explored by Anne de Vries, who, through a hardstyle stadium show setting explores the relationship between technology and mass experience. A very different form of release is to be experienced in Teun Vonk’s »The Physical Mind«, which hugs visitors between two giant air pillows, guiding them into a feeling of security and physical well-being. Voices of protest and unrest are electrified by Zorka Wollny and Andrzej Wasilewski’s Tesla coil installation. ZULI presents an immersive collage of the bustling and tumultuous metropolis of Cairo. Exploiting the way virtual reality rests on our expectations and illusions, Jessica Ekomane examines the tacit rules that underlie the visual representations we create. Peter Flemming speculates on systems which can de-orchestrate our rational daily lives with a room-scale kinetic installation of ordinary objects that are suspended as if in an invisible web. In Frédérick A. Belzile’s »Eyes in the Sky«, a Dakota Access Pipeline protester’s drone seems to take such de-orchestration to heart – by flying away. »Geomancer«, a newly-awakened and escaped satellite A.I., comes down to earth with dreams of becoming the first A.I. artist in Lawrence Lek’s namesake film. Guy Ben Ary’s »cellF«, dubbed »the world’s first neural synthesizer«, challenges visitors to think about how we might respond to synthetic (musical) consciousness.

Opening: 26.1. » 19:00 / Runs: 27.1.—2.4. » Daily 11—20:00 / During CTM: 27.1.— 4. 2. » Daily 11—22:00 Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien / Free entrance

P H Y S I C A L R H Y T H M M AC H I N E _ B O E M b O E M Installation by Philip Vermeulen with compositions by Lakuti, Sam Barker, and Steffi The Physical Rhythm Machine is a visceral acoustic instrument that shoots balls at speeds of up to 150 km/h into large resonant boxes. Because the shots can be fired at precise intervals, the machine can generate intricate rhythmic patterns. Artists Steffi, Sam Barker, and Lakuti will create short rhythmic compositions to be brought to life via the momentum of the balls.

Runs: 30.1.—2. 2. / Tue —Thu 21—23:00 / Fri 22—24:00 » Halle am Berghain Included as part of CTM’s Berghain concert programmes

TRANSCEND THE TURMOIL

Installation & Performance by Christopher Bauder & Kangding Ray

Performances IN 4DSOUND by FIS, Florence To & John Connell, Gaika, IOANN, Pan Daijing, TCF. Presented by MONOM & Spatial Sound Institute.

Presented with WHITEvoid and Kraftwerk Berlin, SKALAR is a large-scale art installation and performance that explores the complex impact of light and sound on human percep tion. In SKALAR, Christopher Bauder treats light as a solid material that can be sculpted and shaped to architectural dimensions, evoking abstract emotional associations. Intertwined with Kangding Ray’s tireless exploration of textures, rhythm, and sound design, Kraftwerk Berlin’s giant hall is filled with iridescent formations of spatial light and sound.

Installation: 27.1.— 25. 2. / Mon —Thu » 15 —21:00 / Fri —Sat » 13 — 23:00 / Sun » 13 —21:00 Performances: 4.2. » 18:00 & 20:30 / 24. 2. » 20:00 & 22:30 Kraftwerk Berlin / Tickets required

During CTM, MONOM – Berlin's Center for Spatial Sound – will become a place to switch off unwanted disturbances and immerse oneself in vivid sonic worlds. MONOM have commissioned Gaika, Pan Daijing, FIS, and TCF to use their 4DSOUND system to build intensely visceral experiences that will range from calming to thought-provoking and radical. IOANN will present »Imagining the Hyperspace«, and John Connell and Florence To will give the German premiere of NOQTURNL, an overnight performance exploring the threshold between waking and dreaming.

CTM TRANSFER

Vorspiel is a joint effort by CTM and transmediale to strengthen the network of cultural initiatives in Berlin. Project spaces, galeries and institutions that engage with digital art & culture and sound & music create a distributed programme of exhibitions, performances, and other formats. Full programme via » www.vorspiel.berlin

One angle of exploration into CTM 2018’s Turmoil theme is the array of discussion, from overly-optimistic to ethically troubled, surrounding artificial intelligence. The programme comprises performances by Holly Herndon Ensemble, Antwood, and experimental music innovators George Lewis and Roscoe Mitchell, algorithmic explorations by Marcus Schmickler and Julian Rohrhuber, an examination of AI in relation to the body by Marco Donnarumma, and a new commissioned work by James Ferraro. A.I. in music is likewise reflected in several works within the CTM 2018 Exhibition, in the theme taken by the MusicMakers Hacklab, and in the CTM 2018 Discourse talk programme. Funded by the German Federal Cultural Foundation.
