Stet Lab’s first event of the 2009/2010 season takes place on the 12th October 2009 at 9:00 pm, upstairs at The Roundy, Castle Street, Cork. Stet Lab again welcomes both regular and newcomers to the stage, bringing the familiar and unfamiliar together in the first event of its third year.

Curator and founder of Stet Lab, guitarist Han-earl Park will perform with a duo of returning Stet Lab veterans. Bruce Lee Gallanter of the Downtown Music Gallery (NY) recently described Park’s playing as “Careful, crafty and well-played with that restrained yet fractured guitar that sounds so good. Han-earl’s sound seems to be in between Derek Bailey and Philip Gibbs.” At the event, Park will be joined by violinist Marian Murray, returning to Ireland from Canada, and bassist Tony O’Connor, who recently spent a year in China. The trio will perform what they describe, tongue-half-in-cheek, as “folk from hell”.

Contrasting with and complementing the trio will be up-and-coming composer and computer artists, Piaras Hoban, performing with composer and multi-instrumentalist, David O’Regan. According to Hoban, they will be “making the tuba go beep”.

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

Stet Lab will return on Tuesday, 10th November with the Italian avant-garde trio, Filario Farinoppo.

what to expect: Stet Lab Year Three

The 2009/2010 season promises to expand and diversify the improvisitive geo-politics of Stet Lab. November will see the Lab welcome Filario Farinoppo—a trio of improvisers from Bologna, Italy—and the December event features the Californian composer-performer Justin Yang. Through 2010, the Lab will host visits by improvisers from Belfast, Cambridge, Istanbul and elsewhere.
