General Assembly in Beijing

Dear Friends,

 

After a close of IMEB last year we feel to be in a new position to continue a great and

significant work of Françoise Barrière and Christian Clozier.

 

We have got invitation from Prof. Zhang Xiaofu, the President of Chinese federation of

electroacoustic music, for the General Assembly of CIME/ICEM in Beijing on October

21-22, 2012. Our meeting was a part of Musicacoustica festival. www.musicacoustica.cn

 

We were in a process of many improvements, and the new Main Board of CIME/ICEM was in

a position to make CIME program and mission as active, dynamic, vivid and promising in a

near future as possible.

 

We decided to confirm full membership of new federations of CIME: Ukraine and Columbia.

We decided to reduced membership fee to 150 euro to be payed in full without exceptions (75 euro for Associate Members).

We decided to arrange the next General Assembly of CIME/ICEM in Krakow in October 2013.

We decided to organize CIME Conference on Music and Technology in Krakow in October 2013 with papers and concerts.
