In 2026 CTM, transmediale's sister festival, dives into a complex dance between dissonance and resonance, and invites us to inhabit the spaces in-between: the charged fields where frequencies meet, clash, and sometimes unexpectedly converge in moments of shared attunement. This years' edition spans across venues such as Radialsystem, Berghain, RSO.Berlin, Volksbühne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Morphine Raum, and the new warehouse venue Haus der Visionäre.

Festival dates: 23 January - 1 February

Additionally, transmediale and CTM come together for another year, presenting An ITCZ of Many Tongues, a night where sonic currents meet like winds in the Intertropical Convergence Zone. Across Säule, hemispheric pulses collide and braid. These artists speak in many tongues – of bass, breath, drum, texture, glitch, and time-honored signal. Their poly(algo)rhythms function as vibrational languages, carrying the atmospheres of many skies, mountains, and waters, into Berlin’s subterranean chamber. The evening includes sets by Microhm , Dengue Dengue Dengue , DJ Love , Aunty Rayzor , Clementaum .

Programme evening: 29 Jan, 2026

In this two-part concert presented by transmediale and CTM, Nursalim Yadi Anugerah and Vica Pacheco take the stage separately - yet together they compose a trans-hemispheric conversation across forest soundscapes and time-honored breath-based codes and technologies.

Vica Pacheco and Nursalim Yadi Anugerah each compose a reciprocal field of listening and echoing: clay vessels answering bamboo reeds, ritual meeting ritual, myth touching forest. Their sonic offerings converge into an exploration of how sound becomes protocol, orientation and re·attunement - how listening might serve as a form of healing, compassing, and multi world-making across distance and difference.
