SHAPE+-supported Slovakian artist Lénok creates richly layered soundscapes that feel both haunting and freeing, using techniques that blend composition with creative deconstruction as a way to visualise alternative realities. At the root of everything she does is an unquenchable curiosity about the relationship between sound and the body—how the two can intertwine to evoke new sensations, perceptions, and stories. Thanks to a short residency supported by SHAPE+, this performance will utilise lighting and set design by Grinderteeth and Synthtati.
A new live show combining the work of three distinct artists in music, video and light design, "Not A Word From Me" showcases a specific encounter between the trio of Lucy Railton, Charlie Hope and Rebecca Salvadori, who met over a decade ago in London. This performance goes deep into an experience of sensorial exploration, submerging the listener into visceral and psychoacoustic states well known in Railton’s sonic work. Together with Hope’s signature light reflectors and Salvadori’s highly personal portrait style video work, this performance summons the audience to engage in the sprawling, hybrid, multi-faceted dialogue between elements, where dynamic live cello and electronics, architectural light and projection design and beguiling narrative envelop a sensory environment.

Biographien
Branching into projects with both local and international artists, Lénok’s collaborations span performance, choreography, and participatory experiences, pulling in audiences not just as spectators, but as part of the unfolding narrative. At the root of everything she does is an unquenchable curiosity about the relationship between sound and the body—how the two can intertwine to evoke new sensations, perceptions, and stories.
Interdisciplinary light and sound artist Veslemøy Holseter crafts immersive, cathedral-like soundscapes that blend harsh noise with driving beats and distorted vox. Her work explores socio-political themes as well as personal reflections on identity, gender, and sexuality.
Synthtati draws deeply from the sublime and ephemeral qualities of natural landscapes, distilling these influences into immersive creations across myriad artistic forms and seamlessly integrating her visual artistry with an experimental approach to sound.
Lucy Railton is a British cellist, composer, cross-disciplinary collaborator and curator whose practice reflects a deeply innovative and restless approach to the cello and artistic self-expression. Over the past two decades, Railton has been at the forefront of contemporary and experimental music, electronic composition, improvisation and popular music performance.
Rebecca Salvadori is a London based, Italian multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker enamored with the converging spot of performance, the moving image, and live filming. Her works act as constellations of highly personal and wilfully elusive heterogeneous elements: multifaceted portraits of moments, people and environments that can be approached from different angles as they move in between personal and transpersonal scales.
Charlie Hope is a visual artist using light, space, video and coding to build sensorial images across performance, installation and video. Creating multi textured environments often working collaboratively in a range of contexts from galleries, clubs, theatre and film.
Programme
Lénok feat. Grinderteeth & Synthtati
Lucy Railton with Rebecca Salvadori & Charlie Hope
„Not A Word From Me”
CTM 2025 will visit Radialsystem over seven consecutive days from 27 January to 2 February, uniting music experimentation and performances with a 5-day discourse programme and an artistic lab.
This festival edition will run without an overarching theme, instead exploring a series of new and ongoing thematic strands. One of several points of focus will be on how traditional art forms and aesthetics can be reinterpreted within modern sound and performance, outside of (self-)exoticisation and the uneven power dynamics created by mass-cultural and other stereotypes.
