Stet Lab May 2011: Featuring Susan Geaney and David O Regan

[Stet Lab curator]

The monthly event, Stet Lab, returns on Monday May 9th, upstairs at
The Roundy Bar, Castle Street, Cork City. An established platform for
all things hybrid, (dis)functional and mutated, Stet Lab will be
reunited with a former regular performer: flautist Susan Geaney.

Flute/Bass Flute performer Susan Geaney is a Composer/Improviser
currently based in Dublin. She has a passion for improvisation in
several contexts: dance, sound art, acoustics and electronics. In
2010, Susan composed and also improvised ‘Oh Dear!’ (Contemporary
Dance) at La Nuit Blanche in Paris. Furthermore, Geaney was awarded a
bursary from London based Just Flutes which enabled her to travel to
the Isle of Skye and perform with the flute ensemble Rarescale. This
April, Susan will have a work Premiered by the Quiet Ensemble in the
‘National Concert Hall’ (NCH). Whilst based in Cork, Susan was a
regular at ‘Stet Lab,’ which saw her to perform with such improvisers
as: Don Malone, Murray Campbell and Ian Smith.
Joining Susan this month will be local improviser/composer David
O’Regan. Having met in University College Cork (UCC) whilst studying
for a Masters in Composition, both David and Susan took part in a
performance of Christian Wolfe’s Burdocks. David is currently working
on music for a retro-style computer game, and is also due to have a
piece for two cellos premiered at the ‘NCH’ in May. Improvisers that
David has performed with are: Han-Earl Park, Veronica Tadman and
Marian Murray.

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...
