Support the Lewis Glucksman Gallery

November 26, 2009 – 7:46 pm

The flooding in Cork city has affected the Lewis Glucksman Gallery. The Gallery has offered generous behind-the-scenes support to Stet Lab, and they’ve hosted improvised music performances by guests of the Lab (including Paul Dunmall, Don Malone, Mark Sanders, John Godfrey, Mick O’Shea, Franziska Schroeder, Bruce Coates and Jamie Smith), numerous Stet Lab (ir)regulars and occasional drop-ins (including Han-earl Park, Neil O’Loghlen, Niwel Tsumbu and Christian Martin).

Lab report November 10th 2009: history and lineage

November 21, 2009 – 7:39 pm

I’m sitting in London writing this.
[I’m typing this up in Cork several days later, however….]
My initial idea for this report, fueled by my less-than-wonderful playing with Paul Dunmall (Paul, of course, is never less than fantastic) [info on this performance…], was to write about the tightrope balancing act between playing something—crafting something—‘musically’ satisfactory (however you gauge [...]

Lab report June 8th 2009: play different

July 3, 2009 – 7:47 am

I’ve said previously that “I’d be lying if I said I did not have allegiances—in idiom, in tradition, and in practice—I do, but I want to stress the possibility of trans-cultural meetings and creative (mis)understandings.”
I don’t subscribe to a silly ideology of some impossibly impartial, neutral, transcendental performance, free of tradition, history, identity. I’m not [...]

Lab report March 10th 2009: the possibility of failure

March 29, 2009 – 8:46 pm

What is the status of ‘failure’ in improvisative performance? Is the notion of failure relevant to improvised music? If relevant, is it important in the ongoing practice (evolution, mutation or adaptation) of improvisation?
safety…
For me ‘oxleygrass (Marie’s phone)’ really doesn’t work as music. I think, at best, it’s a technical demonstration.
The ditty didn’t go anywhere: no [...]

Lab report February 10th 2009: train wrecks and other fascinating disasters

February 23, 2009 – 2:08 pm

Stet Lab, Cork, February 10, 2009
Before we go on stage, I joke with Jamie Smith that we’re the two guitarists who’re going to be tripping up each other (and that the drummer, Owen Sutton, will have to pick through the carnage).
By ‘tripping up’ I’m not implying that the results weren’t going to be interesting, musical [...]

Lab report February 10th 2009: on playing and being played

February 22, 2009 – 4:03 pm

I usually refrain from commenting/report on a performance of mine, for the reason that I cannot see what I could/should add to the music… in fact, I quite agree with Leo Smith when he writes: “a piece of improvisation has been done, and after it’s done, there’s nothing to be said about it because [...]
