Call for Live/Radio Works

In Listening 2027

After more than a decade of collaboration with Germany’s public radio Deutschlandfunk Kultur and Austria’s ORF public radio, the CTM Radio Lab will shift into a new format titled »In Listening.« This call aims to zero-in on sound-focused experiences, where active listening – as a form of individual or relational process – should inform the proposals. The call is open to artists worldwide and should engage with the CTM 2027 theme, »Process…ing«. Apply by 6 September 2026.
