The 11th edition of CTM, Berlin’s unique Festival for Adventurous Music and Related Visual Arts, titled by many as Berlin’s best pop and music event, is on from January 28th to February 7th 2010 under the title OVERLAP – Sound & Other Media

CTM.10 takes a critical look at the opportunities and risks of developments where media and creative disciplines melt increasingly together, and where previously fixed roles are now in motion. The discussion on how mutations in music culture should be framed continues.

Overall, listening, and the different forms of sound and music now have more meaning than ever before. At the same time, the dissolution of approved structures and value-adding chains in the music economy is often felt as a loss of music’s perceived cultural importance by those involved.
