Cork’s monthly improvised music event, Stet Lab, starts a New Year of
on-stage mutations and hybrids on Tuesday, 4 January 2011, upstairs at
The Roundy, Castle Street, Cork, Ireland. A unique opportunity to
witness the interaction between novice and veteran, and local and
visiting, improvising musicians, the January event will feature
California-based multi-instrumentalist Murray Campbell.

Last heard at the Stet Lab two years ago (12 January 2009), Murray
Campbell has proved to be of the most popular and generous visiting
artists at the Lab. His contributions to the Lab were included as part
of the Danny McCarthy curated CD Rediscovering Locality: A Sonology of
Cork Sound Art+ (farpoint recordings), and his playing has been
described by then Stet Lab regular Eoin Callery as “101 other things
to be done with a violin” with “movement from long-sustained tone,
multiple examples of melodic phrasing, and rapid combinations of
whistle-tones, harmonics, bow scrapings, plucking and rhythmic taps—
especially during the second trio—left nobody in doubt of his
abilities and obvious comfort in many violin/fiddle styles.”

As a fiddler (of Scottish, Balkan and Bluegrass idioms), and a
violinist and double reed player in classical, music theater and
performance art settings, Murray Campbell has recorded with musicians
from California, Scotland, The Netherlands and elsewhere, and
performed on four continents. In addition, Campbell was long time
musical and technical director of Jan Langedijk’s theatre company De
Daders (Amsterdam), co-creator (with Alex Fiennes) of the octaphonic
spatialization system for Dialogues (Edinburgh), and co-founder of the
Church of Sonology. He regularly performs with musicians from the San
Francisco Bay Area and broader Californian improvised and experimental
music scenes, including as part of the ensemble Bristle with
saxophonists Randy McKean and Corey Wright, and bassist Lisa
Mezzacappa.

Murray Campbell will be joined by Cork-based improvisers including
guitarist Han-earl Park, and the event will open with Stet Lab’s house
band, The Real-Time Company (for the Ad-Hoc Association) of…,
consisting of guitarists Andrea Bonino and Kevin Terry.

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

Stet Lab will return on Monday, 7 February 2010 featuring Belfast-
based drummer Steve Davis.

STOP PRESS: change of guest artist! Due to circumstances
(contingencies? accidents? emergent agendas?) Murray Campbell is
unable to be at the January Lab as previously announced.

Composer-performer John Godfrey (guitar), however, has very generously
stepped in to occupy the Lab’s guest spot. Godfrey will be joined by
Han-earl Park (guitar) and Dan Walsh (drums), and the event will open
with The Real-Time Company (for the Ad-Hoc Association) of… Andrea
Bonino and Kevin Terry (guitars).

The event takes place this Tuesday (January 4, 2011), same place
(Upstairs @ The Roundy), same time (9:00pm). Details at:

We hope that you will come and participate.
