After gathering a number of leading sound art and experimental music residencies in December at IAC, the ideas of forming a new network was discussed and set in motion. Before the summer we received network funding from Nordic Culture Point and had our first network meeting in Oslo. The founding members of the network are NOTAM in Oslo, EMS (Elektronmusikstudion) in Stockholm, VICC (Visby International Centre for Composers) at Gotland, Danish Composer’s Society in Denmark and Inkonst and IAC in Malmö. One of the main aims in the beginning is exchange of technical staff and competences. More as the network start to take form with the first educational courses and institutional visits in Stockholm and Oslo during the fall.
