CTM Festival 2025

The Research Networking Day is an exchange platform for graduate or postgraduate students – as well as independent artists conducting self-guided research – traversing the fields of music, sound, arts, media, design, and related theoretical disciplines.



RND 2025 will assemble nine students, scholars, and artists/researchers from a variety of fields of study and approaches who will present research addressing one of several themes reflected within three different labs at CTM 2025:
affection as explored in the CTM 2025 Radio Lab, engaging with traditional sound forms and ideas as per the Resynthesising the Traditional artistic lab, and playing with anarchic qualities of AI as explored in the Wilding AI lab.
