International Association of Music Information Centre, IAMIC, has created an international network platform for composers to share and publish information about their works.

IAMIC Virtual Composers In Residence Programme aims to share, network and publish information about composers and their work and process more widely, by enabling the composers community and audience to connect through virtual and interactive environment.

Visibility and dialogue
Creating a special space on the IAMIC and MIC’s website and hosting each month two new composers from different countries, should offer composers of all genres a context to gain greater visibility for their work, to reach new audience and online community, exchange experience and get in dialogue with their foreign colleagues.

Composers of the month
The two composers will use email, chat, blogs and IAMIC website to discuss their daily work, music, education, possible projects and to track the progress of the work. The conversation will be public and open for public comments.

Composers John McLachlan, CEO of the Association of Irish Composers, and Lucien Posman, president of the Componisten Archipel Vlaanderen, COMAV, are the first IAMIC residences.
