The British ElectroAcoustic Network has become a candidate member of the International Confederation of Electroacoustic Music (CIME/ICEM). Membership was approved by the General Assembly of CIME during their annual conference, held at CMMAS, Morellia, Mexico, in October 2016. By joining CIME, we have now achieved one of the major objectives of this network, and look forward to working closely with our international colleagues in the coming months and years.
