CTM ventures into the virtual for the first time, via a new collaboration with Minecraft venue Club Matryoshka. Welcoming a series of singular club voices including Aquarian, Badsista, Hyph11E, Moesha13, quest?onmarc, and Slikback, the night explores new modes of listening, connecting, and being together even as clubs and venues remain closed. Pre-registration to participate in the Minecraft world is open until 12 August, and a livestream via Twitch will be announced on the day of the event: August 15th.

Like the rest of the world, CTM is currently embroiled in efforts to keep our audience, artists, and team safe and healthy, while also looking ahead at an unpredictable future. While the scope and format of our 22nd festival edition are uncertain, we are steadily navigating the context of changing restrictions, possible future regulations, and new foreseeable challenges in order to respond with experimentation, creativity, and reflection. The festival’s dates remain set at 22–31 January 2021, though please note that it’s possible that the festival will be extended over a longer period of time, flowing into February, depending on the kinds of conditions and constraints that might arise and influence the kinds of presentation formats allowed in early 2021.

Like the rest of the world, CTM & DISK are currently embroiled in efforts to keep our audience, artists, and team safe and healthy. Our upcoming events have been cancelled, and our staff are now working from home. We wanted to take a moment to express our care for and solidarity with all those affected, and our support for physical distancing measures.

Running free of charge until mid-March, the CTM 2020 Exhibition, Interstitial Spaces, takes the questions of the festival's Liminal theme beyond the margins of music. The proposed artistic perspectives in this exhibition open up interpretations of in-betweens and thus, at the same time, question their opposite: the places that are supposedly concrete. The collection of works point to how unambiguity is arbitrarily produced through coexistence—in politics, culture, and society— arising from the power of consensus, from an agreement of many. Yet at the same time, it always produces its counterpart: the grey areas of the in-between.
