Somerset House is a London working arts centre connecting creativity and the arts with wider society. It brings worlds and minds together to intensify creativity and multiply opportunity, driving artistic and social innovation at once. The platform for its work is a neoclassical building at the heart of London with a long history of influence, ideas and counter-perspective.

Somerset House Studios is a space for experimentation in the centre of London connecting artists, makers and thinkers with audiences. The Studios supports artists across disciplines to push bold ideas, engage with urgent issues and experiment with new technologies. At the heart of Somerset House, the home of cultural innovators, up to 70 artists are resident at any one time for a period of between one and seven years, with a number of shorter term national and international residency programmes running alongside. The Studios develops ambitious cross disciplinary projects and creative collaborations on a range of scales, and powers Channel, Somerset House’s online space for art, ideas and the artistic process.

In collaboation with Goethe-Institut London, Somerset House Studios and CTM Festival team up to provide a yearly residency for a Germany-based artist working with music and sound. Each year one artist joins the community of Somerset House Studios for three months with the aim to work on a new projct to be presented later at Somerset House Studios' Assembly festival, and at the next edition of CTM Festival in Berlin.

Commissioned by Somerset House Studios and Goethe-Institut London in partnership with CTM Festival Berlin.
