MARIA AM OSTBHANHOF - BERLIN
25 JANUARY - 3 FEBRUARY 2007
Club transmediale (CTM) enters its eighth round with a program, the
like of which has never been
seen before! It's no coincidence that this festival in Berlin is
renowned as Germany's most important
rendezvous for electronic Experimental and adventurous music.
Under this year's motto, BUILDING SPACE the main program focus of
CTM.07 will investigate how
music and the interplay of sound and moving images can create new
dimensions in our experience
of space. Once again, the CTM Festival's approach is interdisciplinary
and intensive: media arts meet experimental music. Besides questioning the synergy of sound and image –
the sensuous, physical
and technical basis of our experience of space and its configuration –
the focus is also on imaginary,
cultural, political and social spaces and the ways they overlap.
For 10 days concerts, club sets, AV-performances, installations,
screenings and debates will throw
light on current issues around music brewed and bubbling in the melting
pot: oblique underground,
Leftfield music, radical Noise, media culture, Improv, New Music, visual
arts and club sounds.
One highlight this year will be the opening concert in front of and in
the Volksbühne theatre on Rosa
Luxemburg Platz with the first every European show of US Weird Folk
pioneers Sun City Girls, Pierre
Bastien and Mira Calix' new project Alexander's Annexe.
The following 9 days of events will take place as usual in Maria am
Ostbahnhof (MAO), starting with the
Grand Opening on Friday, 26. January with the legendary Techno-heroes,
*Underground Resistance*.
The special focus THE BLIND SPOT conceived in collaboration with
Ultrahang festival from Budapest introduces into current music production in Hungary.
