CTM 2025 Radio Lab commissions have been recently broadcast and are now available to stream online via Deutschlandfunk Kultur.
Listen to »Sonic Forces« by Yara Mekawei, set against the politically charged landscape of Egypt, where borders with Palestine, Libya, and Sudan represent sites of war and refuge. The project delves into the paradox of seeking safety amid deeper personal struggles.
Listen to »Resonant Resilience« by Lynn Nandar Htoo and rEmPiT g0dDe$$, which explores the experiences of individuals displaced by the ongoing political turmoil in Myanmar and the harsh regulations faced by queer communities in Malaysia. The live performace at CTM fused field recordings and electronics with dynamic visual art by Gabriel Htoo and Sarah Hanan.
The Radio Lab is a project by Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Hörspiel / Klangkunst and CTM Festival in collaboration with Goethe-Institut, and ORF Ö1 Kunstradio. This year it is also supported by the sound art initiative tekhnē, which is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme of the European Union.
