Castle Street<br />

<p>€10 (€5)</p>
<p>Cork’s monthly improvised music event, Stet Lab, continues into its fourth year of on-stage mutations and hybrids on Monday, 6 December 2010, upstairs at <a href="http://www.theroundy.com/">The Roundy</a>, Castle Street, Cork, Ireland. This unique meeting between novice and veteran improvisers welcomes the exciting, up-and-coming, Derby-based vibraphonist <a href="http://www.coreymwamba.co.uk/">Corey Mwamba</a>.</p>
<p>A performer of “wit and originality” (The Oxford Times), Corey Mwamba has been described as a “brilliant young black vibes player” (The Daily Telegraph) with “amazing originality and vigour” (<a href="http://www.allaboutjazz.com/">All About Jazz</a>). Heard at this year’s <a href="http://www.londonjazzfestival.org.uk/">London Jazz Festival</a>, Mwamba plays the vibraphone, dulcimer, electronics and small instruments, and his music and compositions embraces elements of jazz, folk from different countries, and electronica.</p>
<p>Mwamba has performed with Orphy Robinson, <a href="http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/mthomas.html">Pat Thomas</a>, <a href="http://evanparker.com/">Evan Parker</a>, <a href="http://www.lolcoxhill.com/">Lol Coxhill</a>, Andy Hamilton, <a href="http://www.tonykofimusic.com/">Tony Kofi</a>, the Master Drummers of Africa, the <a href="http://www.quantic.org/projects/quantic-soul-orchestra/">Quantic Soul Orchestra</a> and <a href="http://www.robertmitchellmusic.com/">Robert Mitchell</a>&#8216;s Panacea, as well as <a href="http://www.coreymwamba.co.uk/projects/index.php?pro=3">his trio</a> with <a href="http://www.joshuablackmore.com/">Joshua Blackmore</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/chunkmusic">Dave Kane</a>, solo performances and with his collective the <a href="http://www.coreymwamba.co.uk/projects/index.php?pro=8">Symbiosis Ensemble</a>. He has also worked as a percussionist with Derby Concert Orchestra and the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/birminghamimprovisersorchestra">Birmingham Improvisers’ Orchestra</a>.</p>
<p>Also performing at the event will be Stet Lab’s house band, <em>The Real-Time Company (for the Ad-Hoc Association) Of…</em>, consisting of Tony O’Connor (bass guitar) and <a href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/">Han-earl Park</a> (guitar).</p>
<p>The event will begin at 9:00 pm (doors open at 8:45 pm) and entry is €10 (€5).</p>
<p><span id="more-2414"></span></p>
<h5>the performers</h5>
<p class="small"><a href="http://www.coreymwamba.co.uk/"><strong>Corey Mwamba</strong></a> creates music using vibraphone, dulcimer, electronics and small instruments. His music contains elements of jazz, folk from different countries, and electronica.</p>
<p class="small">Born in Derby and a former chemist and librarian, Corey is virtually self-taught in music having made the decision to take up vibraphone in his late teens after seeing a picture of Orphy Robinson in a book and taking five lessons with the orchestral percussionist Lewis Dyson.</p>
<p class="small">Corey is primarily known as a highly creative improviser with a wide stylistic range: there have been appearances with Orphy Robinson, Pat Thomas, and Lol Coxhill; Andy Hamilton, Tony Kofi, the Master Drummers of Africa; Evan Parker, the Quantic Soul Orchestra, Robert Mitchell&#8217;s Panacea; as well as his own solo performances and with his collective the Symbiosis Ensemble. He has also worked as a percussionist with Derby Concert Orchestra.</p>
<p class="small">Corey is seen as a skilled composer and band-leader; his commissions include Dhara Blues, a work for percussion and Kathak dancers for Derby Jazz: and with writer Bea Udeh and the Midlands-spanning group the Symbiosis Ensemble, Corey Mwamba&#8217;s literature and music piece Nature&#8217;s Glory, Fancy&#8217;s Child. This piece was selected for the regional Decibel Live! Showcase in 2004 and Derby Jazz Week 2005. The research for this work led Corey to present a talk on the creative presentation of history for the Black and Asian Studies Association at the V&amp;A Museum in 2005. In the same year his solo improvisation, Three Two One, was selected for the Freeness album set up by CDR, Chris Offili, and the Observer Music Monthly. Corey Mwamba was selected for the Jerwood/PRS Foundation&#8217;s 2007 Take Five Initiative, a significant artist development scheme for emerging jazz musicians: he was also nominated for the 2008 BBC Jazz Award for Innovation. In 2009, Corey was selected by Arts Council England for The International Association of the Biennial of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean (BJCEM) event in Skopje.</p>
<p class="small" style="margin-top: 2em;">Improviser, guitarist and constructor <a title="Han-earl Park (박한얼)" href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/"><strong>Han-earl Park</strong></a> works from/within/around traditions of fuzzily idiomatic, on occasion experimental, mostly open improvised musics, sometimes engineering theater, sometimes inventing ritual. He feels the gravitational pull of collaborative, multi-authored contexts, and has performed in clubs, theaters, art galleries, concert halls, and (ad-hoc) alternative spaces in Denmark, England, Ireland, The Netherlands, Scotland and the USA.</p>
<p class="small">He is involved in ongoing collaborations with Bruce Coates, and with Franziska Schroeder, fifteen year long associations with Alex Fiennes and Murray Campbell. Recent performances include ensemble Mathilde 253 (Park, Charles Hayward and Ian Smith) with Lol Coxhill, a duo concert with Paul Dunmall, a trio with Kato Hideki and Katie O’Looney, an improvisative meeting with Thomas Buckner and Jesse Ronneau, and the performance of Pauline Oliveros’ ‘Droniphonia’ alongside the composer. He has appeared at festivals including Sonic Acts (Amsterdam), the Center for Experiments in Art, Information and Technology Festival (California), dialogues festival (Edinburgh), Sonorities (Belfast) and VAIN Live Art (Oxford).</p>
<p class="small">Park founded and curates Stet Lab, a monthly improvised music space in Cork, Ireland, and teaches improvisation at the UCC School of Music.</p>

<h4>Stet Lab celebrates its third birthday with trumpeter Ian Smith</h4>
<p>Monday, 15 November 2010</p>
<p>9:00 pm (doors: 8:45 pm)</p>
<p>Upstairs @ <a href="http://www.theroundy.com/">The Roundy</a> [<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&amp;msid=113338067607923775514.000457912aadfb5a6a529">map…</a>]<br />
Castle Street<br />
Cork, Ireland</p>
<p>€10 (€5)</p>
<p>Stet Lab will be welcoming London-based, Irish virtuoso trumpeter <a href="http://efi.group.shef.ac.uk/musician/msmithi.html">Ian Smith</a> in celebration of the third anniversary of Cork&#8217;s monthly improvised music club. The event takes place on Monday, 15 November 2010, upstairs at <a href="http://www.theroundy.com/">The Roundy</a>, Castle Street, Cork, Ireland, at 9:00 pm (doors open at 8:45 pm).</p>
<p>Mainstay of the London improvised music scene, Ian Smith is best known as cofounder of the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/londonimprovisersorchestra">London Improvisers’ Orchestra</a>, and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thegatheringfreeimprov">The Gathering</a>. He has performed with improvisers such as <a href="http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/mparker.html">Evan Parker</a>, <a href="http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/mstevens.html">John Stevens</a>, <a href="http://www.maggienicols.com/">Maggie Nicols</a>, <a href="http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/mberes.html">Steve Beresford</a>, <a href="http://www.matchlessrecordings.com/taxonomy/term/1">Eddie Prévost</a>, Reeves Gabrels and <a href="http://www.harriseisenstadt.com/">Harris Eisenstadt</a>. His second CD as a leader, <a href="http://www.emanemdisc.com/E4059.html">Daybreak</a>, featured <a href="http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/mbailey.html">Derek Bailey</a>, <a href="http://veryan-weston.xanga.com/">Veryan Weston</a>, <a href="http://www.gailbrand.com/">Gail Brand</a> and <a href="http://orenmarshall.com/">Oren Marshall</a>, and his most recent release is with the spontaneous mashup ensemble <a href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/mathilde/">Mathilde 253</a> with <a href="http://www.charleshayward.org/">Charles Hayward</a> and Han-earl Park plus <a href="http://www.lolcoxhill.com/">Lol Coxhill</a>.</p>
<p>Smith’s playing has been described as a “revelation…. There is a clear jazz edge to his tone, which sounds almost radical these days when many trumpet players in the improv world seem inclined to turn their back on that vocabulary. But he can also dip down to breathy flutters and muted coloristic playing” (Michael Rosenstein, <a href="http://www.signaltonoisemagazine.org/">Signal to Noise</a>). His style has been compared to <a href="http://music.calarts.edu/~wls/">Wadada Leo Smith</a> and <a href="http://www.joemcphee.com/">Joe McPhee</a>: “gestures seem to derive from earlier forms of jazz, and there are moments of harmonic directness that you could put chord symbols under. But it has all been thoughtfully moulded into a highly convincing and distinctive language” (Philip Clark, <a href="http://www.jazzreview.com/">JazzReview</a>).</p>
<p>Joining Smith on stage for the Stet Lab event will be Cork-based guitarist, and fellow member of Mathilde 253, <a title="Han-earl Park (박한얼)" href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/">Han-earl Park</a>.</p>
<p>Opening the event will be a trio of Stet Lab regulars, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=blackmud23">Andrea Bonino</a> (guitar and electronics), Helena Reilly (voice) and Athoulis Tsiopani (keyboard).</p>
<p>For three years Stet Lab has both introduced new blood into Cork’s musical life as well as fostering local talent. Cork’s monthly improvised music event, Stet Lab is a space in which improvisers can meet, play and learn from one another. Since its launch in <a href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/stet/diary/#anchor_11-08-07">November 2007</a>, it has successfully brought together improvising musicians with varied experiences and from far afield; hosted twenty-two events with twenty-seven guest artists, including eighteen international visitors.</p>
<p>The event will begin at 9:00 pm (doors open at 8:45 pm) and entry is €10 (€5).</p>
<p>Next month’s Stet Lab will take place on Monday, 6 December 2010, featuring the exciting Derby-based vibraphonist <a href="http://www.coreymwamba.co.uk/">Corey Mwamba</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-2353"></span></p>
<h5>the performers</h5>
<p class="small"><a href="http://efi.group.shef.ac.uk/musician/msmithi.html"><strong>Ian Smith</strong></a> has been playing since he was fifteen. He has studied with Joe Csibi (principal trumpet in the Irish National Symphony Orchestra) and Bobby Shew (Buddy Rich, Horace Silver bands) as well as learning harmony from Trevor England (ex-Berklee). As a bass he was a Vocal Scholar of the College of Music and a Choral Scholar of Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin. There is a strong tradition of trumpet playing in Smith&#8217;s family, his grandfather Chick Smith played in many British dance bands from the 1930s onwards and his cousin Jimmie Deuchar was at the forefront of British bop as well as playing in the Clarke/Boland Big Band. During the mid-80s while in Trinity College, Dublin, he arranged music for and played on many recording sessions, including jingles for the Bank of Ireland, a TV documentary score and singles for local rock bands. He has also composed and performed for theatrical productions including a version of Joyce&#8217;s Nighttown scene from Ulysses at the Project theatre, Dublin.</p>
<p class="small">He has guested on albums by highly established Irish songwriters like Luka Bloom and Mick Hanley. He joined post-punk band the Real Wild West in the late 80s and gigged frequently with them for three years, including playing the Eurorock Festival &#8217;87 in Frankfurt, the Mean Fiddler in London and supporting Echo and the Bunnymen and the Pogues in Ireland. The Real Wild West single was produced by Pogues Shane MacGowan and Philip Chevron; the album was produced by John Langford of The Mekons. Ian Smith appeared at the Cork International Jazz Festival in 1988 and 1989, playing a set with saxophonist Richie Cole in &#8217;89. He has been involved in duo and trio gigs with guitarist Louis Stewart. He moved over to London in 1990 and in May &#8217;91 co-founded the group Forest which quickly became established on the London freeform scene. He was a sometime member of the Screech Owls, a rock band which featured former Virgin Prune Dik Evans, which performed at the Mean Fiddler.</p>
<p class="small">Since 1992 he has been playing improvised music and has performed with Evan Parker, John Stevens, Maggie Nicols, Lol Coxhill, Steve Beresford and Eddie Prévost among others. His own trio, Trian, has played at the 1993 London Experimental Music Festival and the 1992 Soho Jazz Festival. He also participated in a reformation of Cornelius Cardew’s Scratch Orchestra in the ICA in 1994. He has collaborated with composer Roger Doyle, winner of the Bourges International Elecro-Acoustic Music Competition 1997, and he has been featured on two instrumental tracks by the hip hop band Marxman. He toured the UK with Butch Morris’ London Skyscraper conduction project in November 1997.</p>
<p class="small">He helped to institute the London Improvisers Orchestra in 1998 with Steve Beresford and Evan Parker, which continues to play monthly in London and has recently performed at the BimHuis in Amsterdam. He also founded The Gathering with Maggie Nichols.</p>
<p class="small">In 2000 he recorded his second CD as a leader, Daybreak, with Derek Bailey, Veryan Weston, Gail Brand and Oren Marshall. Into the twenty-first century, as well as regularly playing with London improvisers, he has also performed with Greg Tate’s Burnt Sugar Arkestra, guitarists Han-earl Park, Reeves Gabrels, the Poet and Detriot legend John Sinclair, and New York-based drummer Harris Eisenstadt.</p>
<blockquote style="margin-top: 0px;">
<p class="small">Smith&#8217;s style has the free-form panache of a Wadada Leo Smith or Joe McPhee, but his experience of other musics is never too far from the surface. Some of his gestures seem to derive from earlier forms of jazz, and there are moments of harmonic directness that you could put chord symbols under. But it has all been thoughtfully moulded into a highly convincing and distinctive language.</p>
<p class="small" style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: right;">(Philip Clark, JazzReview)</p>
<p class="small" style="margin-top: 1em;">Smith&#8217;s trumpet playing is a particular revelation. His brassy blats and smears play off of the hyperactive spatters of Eisenstadt’s drums. There is a clear jazz edge to his tone, which sounds almost radical these days when many trumpet players in the improv world seem inclined to turn their back on that vocabulary. But he can also dip down to breathy flutters and muted coloristic playing.</p>
<p class="small" style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: right;">(Michael Rosenstein, Signal to Noise)</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="small" style="margin-top: 2em;">Improviser, guitarist and constructor <a title="Han-earl Park (박한얼)" href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/"><strong>Han-earl Park</strong></a> works from/within/around traditions of fuzzily idiomatic, on occasion experimental, mostly open improvised musics, sometimes engineering theater, sometimes inventing ritual. He feels the gravitational pull of collaborative, multi-authored contexts, and has performed in clubs, theaters, art galleries, concert halls, and (ad-hoc) alternative spaces in Denmark, England, Ireland, The Netherlands, Scotland and the USA.</p>

<p class="small" style="margin-top: 2em;">During the 1990s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=blackmud23"><strong>Andrea Bonino</strong></a> performed regularly with Eugenio Sanna and Nanni Canale, who had been students of Donal Rafael Garrett during his years in Pisa, Italy. A friend of John Coltrane, Garret encouraged musicians to learn to be creative on many instruments instead of focusing on mastering one. Andrea followed this advice and still likes to keep an experimental attitude in his work, improvising on guitars and other stringed devices, electronics, objects and toys. Among others he has played with Mike Cooper, Roger Turner, Steve Noble, Roberto Bellatalla, and with the late Mississippi blues legend R. L. Burnside.</p>

<p>Recently heard performing with the legendary <a href="http://www.sonnysimmons.org/">Sonny Simmons</a>, and with the pioneering <a href="http://www.joemcphee.com/">Joe McPhee</a>, Alexander Hawkins has been dubbed “one of the brightest rising young stars of British jazz and improvisation” by John Eyles (<a href="http://www.allaboutjazz.com/">All About Jazz</a>). This appearance at Stet Lab marks his Irish debut.</p>
<p>Hawkins is a powerful and inventive performer best know as a member of the transatlantic <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theconvergencequartet">Convergence Quartet</a> (with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/dominiclash">Dominic Lash</a>, <a href="http://taylorhobynum.com/">Taylor Ho Bynum</a> and <a href="http://www.harriseisenstadt.com/">Harris Eisenstadt</a>), and his own 6-piece <a title="Alexander Hawkins Ensemble" href="http://www.alexanderhawkins.com/projects/thealexanderhawkinsensemble">Ensemble</a> (featuring <a href="http://www.myspace.com/orphyrobinson">Orphy Robinson</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ottofischer">Otto Fischer</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/hannahmarshallmusician">Hannah Marshall</a>, Lash and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/javiercarmonam">Javier Carmona</a>). In the British improvised music scene Hawkins is the most sought after pianist of his generation, as sideman he has worked in <a href="http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/mparker.html">Evan Parker</a>’s trio and quartet, and he has performed with jazz and improvised music luminaries including Louis Moholo-Moholo, <a href="http://www.lolcoxhill.com/">Lol Coxhill</a>, <a href="http://www.johnbutcher.org.uk/">John Butcher</a>, <a href="http://www.marksanders.me.uk/">Mark Sanders</a>, Steve Williamson, <a href="http://www.tomarthurs.co.uk/">Tom Arthurs</a>, <a href="http://www.mopomoso.com/">John Russell</a>, <a href="http://www.efi.group.shef.ac.uk/mthomas.html">Pat Thomas</a> and <a href="http://www.matchlessrecordings.com/">Eddie Prévost</a>.</p>

<h5>the performers</h5>
<p class="small">Born in Oxford in 1981, <a href="http://www.alexanderhawkins.com/"><strong>Alexander Hawkins</strong></a> is a pianist described as having a “wizards’ touch” and a “fierce technique.” Indeed, a recent interview commented that he is “just emerging as one of the most striking voices of his generation, both with unique things to say and unique ways of expressing them” (David Grundy, Eartrip).</p>
<p class="small">He leads his own 6-piece Ensemble, featuring Orphy Robinson, Otto Fischer, Hannah Marshall, Dominic Lash, and Javier Carmona. One review of this group’s debut record, No Now Is So (FMR Records), wrote that “barbed dissonance and wrenching romanticism [are the] clear poles by which he operates…such absolute joy and strength…an incredible record” (Clifford Allen, Bagatellen).</p>
<p class="small">He co-leads the transatlantic Convergence Quartet, featuring Dominic Lash, Hawkins, American Taylor Ho Bynum and Canadian Harris Eisenstadt; a band which has toured the United Kingdom twice (2006 and 2009). Their first album placed in two critics’ Top Ten Releases of 2007 lists. Stuart Broomer in Point of Departure wrote of “a fundamental reassertion of composition within improvised music,” and Jay Collins (Cadence) of “highly unpredictable and thought-provoking music to savor with endless room for future consideration.”</p>
<p class="small">Hawkins also plays in the cooperative group Barkingside, whose eponymous debut album (Emanem) placed in the Top Ten lists in 2008. According to John Eyles in All About Jazz “the level of group empathy displayed here is scary.”</p>
<p class="small">As a sideman, he has worked in Evan Parker’s trio and quartet. He also features in Ntshuks Bonga’s Qwati, alongside Claude Deppa, Gail Brand, Greg Bonnie, Oren Marshall, and Mark Sanders.<br />
Other collaborations have included with Louis Moholo-Moholo, Lol Coxhill, John Butcher, Steve Williamson, Jason Yarde, Ray Warleigh, Alan Wilkinson, Tom Arthurs, Tony Marsh, Will Gaines, John Russell, Steve Waterman, Pete McPhail, Pat Thomas, Eddie Prevost, Francine Luce, and many others. He has worked in the London Improvisers’ Orchestra, the Oxford Improvisers Orchestra, and the Pendulum Big Band; and also plays organ in the funk band Big Train’s Haymaker.</p>
<p class="small">He has played at venues including Symphony Hall, Birmingham; London’s Ronnie Scott’s, Vortex Jazz Club, 606, Koko, Spitz, 93 Feet East, Scala, and Cargo; West Road, Cambridge; the Jacqueline Du Pre Music Building, Oxford; St Sulpice, Paris; the Clothworkers’ Centenary Hall, Leeds; and many others. He has been broadcast in various places, including on BBC Radio 3 and BBC 6 Music. Festival appearances have included the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, and Freedom of the City.</p>
<p class="small">Forthcoming projects include a collaboration with North Americans Rob Brown, Mark Helias and Harris Eisenstadt; the recording of Ntshuks Bonga’s Qwati; the Somedectet large group; and an organ trio with Steve Noble and John Edwards (recording due for release later in the year on Bo’weavil Recordings).</p>
<blockquote style="margin-top: 0px;">
<p class="small">Hawkins seems to get better every time I see him live; every solo he took tonight was a journey, or, if you prefer, a well-told short story. They would begin as jazz explorations, or even boogie-woogie-flavoured romps, before whipping themselves up to a frenzy of clanging clusters, rolling glissandi, and fast-paced, dissonant runs, like a dancer tripping over their feet as the speed of their performance spins out of control. This was both tremendously exciting and the consequence of a logical development—jazz taken to the edge and then pushed over, because there really was no where else to go—and it was always—somehow—contained within the framework of a two or three minute showcase.</p>
<p class="small" style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: right;">(David Grundy, Streams of Expression)</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="small" style="margin-top: 2em;">Improviser, guitarist and constructor <a title="Han-earl Park (박한얼)" href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/"><strong>Han-earl Park</strong></a> works from/within/around traditions of fuzzily idiomatic, on occasion experimental, mostly open improvised musics, sometimes engineering theater, sometimes inventing ritual. He feels the gravitational pull of collaborative, multi-authored contexts, and has worked with animators, film makers, poets, theater and mime performers, dancers and installation artists. He has performed in clubs, theaters, art galleries, concert halls, and (ad-hoc) alternative spaces in Denmark, England, Ireland, The Netherlands, Scotland and the USA.</p>
<p class="small">He is involved in ongoing collaborations with Bruce Coates, and with Franziska Schroeder, fifteen year long associations with Alex Fiennes and Murray Campbell. Recent performances include ensemble Mathilde 253 (Park, Charles Hayward and Ian Smith) with Lol Coxhill, a concert with Paul Dunmall, with Kato Hideki and Katie O’Looney, and the performance of Pauline Oliveros’ ‘Droniphonia’ alongside the composer. He has appeared at festivals including Sonic Acts (Amsterdam), the Center for Experiments in Art, Information and Technology Festival (California), dialogues festival (Edinburgh), Sonorities (Belfast) and VAIN Live Art (Oxford).</p>
<p class="small">Park founded and curates Stet Lab, a monthly improvised music space in Cork, Ireland, and teaches improvisation at the UCC School of Music.</p>

<p>€10 (€5)</p>
<p>This month’s Stet Lab, Cork’s improvised music event, will take place at 9:00 pm on Monday, May 11th 2009, upstairs at The Roundy, Castle Street, Cork, Ireland. The event will feature saxophonist <a href="http://www.myspace.com/brucecoates">Bruce Coates</a> (UK) and vocalist Jonny Marks (UK/New Zealand via China), plus Cork-based improvisers, <a href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/">Han-earl Park</a> (guitar), <a href="http://www.myspace.com/owensaussutton">Owen Sutton</a> (drums), Paul Dowling (bass), <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thewickermammy">Vicky Langan</a> (electronics) and James O&#8217;Gorman (guitar).</p>
<p>May’s Stet Lab will see a bold mix of familiar and unfamiliar faces. Returning will be Birmingham-based Bruce Coates, founder of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/frimp1">FrImp</a> and the <a href="http://www.myspace.com/birminghamimprovisersorchestra">Birmingham Improvisers’ Orchestra</a>, and a saxophonist with a sound both daring and inviting. Having worked with musicians as diverse as Christian Wolff, <a href="http://www.lolcoxhill.com/">Lol Coxhill</a>, Tony Oxley, John Edwards, Chris Hobbs, and previous Stet Lab guests <a href="http://www.pauldunmall.com/">Paul Dunmall</a>, <a href="http://www.marksanders.me.uk/">Mark Sanders</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mikeyhurley">Mike Hurley</a>, Coates regularly negotiates the intersection between avant jazz, free improvisation and post-Cardew experimentalism. A Stet Lab veteran, he performed twice before at the Lab—in <a href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/stet/diary/#anchor_11-08-07">November 2007</a> and <a href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/stet/diary/#anchor_12-09-08">December 2008</a>.</p>
<p>Making his Irish debut at this event will be Jonny Marks from New Zealand via Mongolia and the UK. Marks is an experimental vocalist and throat singer who has worked with Damo Suzuki, <a href="http://www.thomaslehn.com/">Thomas Lehn</a> and Takashi Harada, and with bands such as The Verlaines and Thrashing Marlin. He has appeared at the Wellington International Jazz Festival and the Melbourne International Jazz Festival.</p>
<p>Joining Coates and Marks will be Cork-based improvisers, guitarist Han-earl Park, and the young, up-and-coming drummer Owen Sutton.</p>
<p>The evening will be opened by a trio comprising bassist Paul Dowling, Vicky Langan on electronics, and newcomer to the Stet Lab stage, guitarist James O’Gorman. This eclectic ensemble will showcase three radically divergent approaches to improvisation.</p>
<p>The event will begin at 9:00 pm (doors open at 8:45 pm) and entry is €10 (€5).</p>
<p>Stet Lab will return in June with more real-time, musical mutations and hybrids.</p>

Cork, Ireland</p>
<p>€10 (€5)</p>
<p>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, <a href="http://www.music.ucc.ie/">UCC Department of Music</a>, Sundays Well. This regular, yet unique meeting between novice and veteran improvisers alike welcomes the co-founder of the Birmingham Improvisers’ Orchestra, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mikeyhurley">Mike Hurley</a> to the rostrum.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.pauldunmall.com/">Dunmall</a>.” 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 <a href="http://www.myspace.com/improvisationbirmingham">FiZZLE</a>, and curates, in association with <a href="http://www.birminghamjazz.co.uk/">Birmingham Jazz</a>, the quarterly <a href="http://www.myspace.com/improvisationbirmingham">Invention Convention</a>.</p>
<p>Also performing at the event will be Stet Lab’s house band; a group of Cork-based improvisers appearing as <em>The Real-Time Company (for the Ad-Hoc Association) of…</em>. Audience members are welcome to <a href="http://www.busterandfriends.com/stet/participate/">participate</a> in association with the programmed artists; please introduce yourself to the Stet Lab curator on the night.</p>
<p>Stet Lab gratefully acknowledges the support of the UCC Department of Music in providing a venue for this month’s event.</p>
