Following the successful first birthday celebrations, Stet Lab, Cork’s monthly improvised music event, returns to The Roundy, Castle Street, on ~~Monday, 8th~~ Tuesday, 9th December. The final event of 2008, the lineup comes full circle and the Lab welcomes the return of Birmingham based saxophonist Bruce Coates who performed at the very first event in 2007.

Bruce Coates is a saxophone player with a solid foundation in avant jazz, free improvisation and experimental music. Coates is the founder of many projects in the city of Birmingham including the free jazz / free improv concert series FrImp, and the Birmingham Improvisers’ Orchestra. Furthermore, he has performed with many of best known names in improvised and experimental music including Paul Dunmall, Lol Coxhill, Christian Wolff, Mark Sanders, John Edwards and Mike Hurley (whom Stet Lab featured in July). The deft and accomplished technique of Coates is his own: creative, innovative yet approachable allowing any sax lover to identify with the sonic timbre.

Joining Coates will be a group of Cork-based improvisers including composer, performer and installation artist Sarah O’Halloran and improviser-guitarist Han-earl Park, plus the young, up-and-coming double bassist Neil O’Loghlen.

The event will begin at 9:00 pm (doors open at 8:45 pm) and entry is €10 (€5).

Stet Lab will return in January 2009 with more real-time, musical mutations and hybrids.

Ó Riada Hall [new venue!]

Following the success of June’s convention, Cork’s monthly improvised music event—Stet Lab—continues its Summer 2008 season of on-stage mutations and hybrids on Thursday, 10th July, at the Ó Riada Hall, UCC Department of Music, Sundays Well. This regular, yet unique meeting between novice and veteran improvisers alike welcomes the co-founder of the Birmingham Improvisers’ Orchestra, Mike Hurley to the rostrum.

Stemming from the bright lights of Birmingham, Hurley is an exciting and innovative young pianist, capable of both furious extemporizations and the “angelic piano” (Downtown Music Gallery, NY), who has quickly established himself as an original voice in the free improvisation scene. A mover and shaker within the English improvised music community, according to the Birmingham Post, Hurley is “making quite a mark in the British free jazz arena, and has already played with such stalwarts of the scene as Lol Coxhill and the Pauls, Rutherford and Dunmall.” This is Hurley’s first performance at Stet Lab and will see him performing both as a soloist and with the local musicians. However, he is no stranger to the Lab’s style having founded his own fortnightly free improvisation event FiZZLE, and curates, in association with Birmingham Jazz, the quarterly Invention Convention.

Also performing at the event will be Stet Lab’s house band; a group of Cork-based improvisers appearing as The Real-Time Company (for the Ad-Hoc Association) of…. Audience members are welcome to participate in association with the programmed artists; please introduce yourself to the Stet Lab curator on the night.

Stet Lab gratefully acknowledges the support of the UCC Department of Music in providing a venue for this month’s event.
