For the fifth year in a row, Deutschlandfunk Kultur – Radio Art / Klangkunst and CTM Festival – in collaboration with the ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst, Ö1 Kunstradio, and with the support of the British music magazine The Wire – are delighted to commission an artistic project. The call is for unusual audio projects that couple the radio medium with the potential of live performance or installation while also relating to the CTM 2018 Festival theme: Turmoil.

The call is open to artists in the fields of experimental music, sound art, radio art, new radio drama, and performance. The commissioned work will premiere in the form of an installation or live performance at CTM 2018 Festival in Berlin (26 January – 4 February 2018), and then be broadcasted in Deutschlandfunk Kultur’s Klangkunst programme. The Österreichischer Rundfunk (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation) will subsequently present them via one or more of its platforms (depending on the character of the works): the Ö1 Zeit-Ton or Ö1 Kunstradio radio shows, and/or (in Autumn 2018), the ORF musikprotokoll im steirischen herbst festival in Graz.

Proposed projects must explore the potential of combining radio and live performance / installation within the Turmoil thematic framework of CTM 2018. They will be presented as a live performance or installation as well as in the form of a 40–55 minute radio broadcast.

The call is not subject to geographical restrictions – we encourage submissions by artists from all over the world. The selected work will be awarded a 5,000 € fee plus production costs.

Deadline for submission: 17 September 2017
