Stet Lab’s final event of the 2008/9 season takes place on the 8th
June 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 a special season
finale.

Curator and founder of Stet Lab, Han-earl Park (guitar) will perform
with the exciting navigator of multiple improvisative traditions,
Juniper Hill (voice and small instruments). Park has been described by
the Computer Music Journal as “innovative” and by BBC - Collective as
an “electro weirdo”, and has performed in Denmark, England, Ireland,
The Netherlands, Scotland and the USA. Juniper Hill is a vocalist and
multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles and currently based in Cork. An
ethnomusicologist who studies contemporary folk music, and the
creativity and pedagogy of improvisation, Hill has been involved in
free jazz and experimental music for many years and is especially
interested in the use of voice in these mediums.

Newcomer to the Lab, Síofra Fitzgerald (flute) and Stet Lab regular,
Kevin Terry (guitar) make up the other duo of the evening. With pre-
composed parts written by Terry (with nods to sources as diverse as
Anthony Braxton and Takemitsu Tōru), the performance will entail a
clash of musical approaches—that of the classical-interpreter and that
of the improviser—which does not resolve to a single whole but further
shatters, fragments and divides.

Veronica Tadman (voice), another vocalist based in Cork, has been
privileged to have performed alongside artists such as Paul Dunmall
and Don Malone. She has guest curated Stet Lab, and this has given her
the opportunity to perform with innovative new talent from Cork. This
month, Veronica is collaborating with composer and member of the
R.E.A.L. Ensemble, Piaras Hoban (laptop) who recently premiered his
piece for soprano and electronics at the Sonic Arts Research Centre in
Belfast. Hoban and Tadman will be joined by composer and the R.E.A.L.
Ensemble founder, Francis Heery (electronics), and performer-theorist
Áine Mangaoang (violin).

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

Stet Lab will return in October for more real-time, musical mutations
and hybrids.
