CTM Festival 2025
Composer Seth Graham and multi-genre artist More Eaze present "Night of Fire", a raw exploration of extremes: near silence and cascading noise, tenderness and rage.
The performance blends dissonance and melody, beauty and chaos, crafting an experience that captures both personal trauma and universal turmoil. Drawing from their experiences of systemic oppression and repression, the work oscillates between light and dark, rage and serenity, weaving these opposites into a fraught equilibrium. The result is ferocious, gorgeous, and surreal—a cathartic meditation on the conflicting desires to scream at the world and sing over it.
Self-taught composer Theo Alexander delves into what he terms 'insurmountable contradictions'. His music often juxtaposes opposing themes, such as the manmade and the natural, engaging them in an anxious yet playful dialogue.
For this special project "So Afraid To Show I Care", he’s joined by Qow, whose approach embraces poetic imperfections and moments of unexpected intimacy, resonant with vulnerability and depth, along with rapper Otteswed and double bass virtuoso Klara Pudlakova.
