This month’s Stet Lab takes place upstairs at The Roundy, Castle
Street, Cork, Ireland, on Monday, 8th February. 2010. Following the
success of January’s real-time fusion of Turkish, Irish and American
improvisative practices, this month Stet Lab is set to travel farther
and presents, from Canberra Australia, the exciting percussionist and
sound artist: Evan Dorrian.
Evan Dorrian is currently based in London and has two main projects:
Spartak and Pollen Trio. They are contrasting in style, Spartak
creates an ambience through 60’s fire music and post-punk drift,
whilst Polen Trio is an exploratory outfit that is founded on melodic
song-form and textural improvisation. According to Dorrian, he likes
to pull apart the traditional notions of his acoustic instruments and
reconstruct them as “pure sound matter and busted anti-rhythms”.
According to Ron Schepper (textura.org):
“Dorrian’s an explosive player whose inventive fills and cymbal
colourations hold one’s interest whether the setting’s free jazz,
electronic exploration, or guitar-heavy raver….”
Dorrian’s approach has attracted international interest, and his ever-
expanding list of collaborators include the jazz musicians Adam
Simmons, Abel Cross, electronic sound sculptors Seaworthy and Adrian
Klumpes, and improvisers Dave Brown and Mike Cooper.
Also performing on the night will be Stet Lab’s resident band: The
Real-Time Company (for the Ad-Hoc Association) Of…. This month’s
lineup is the Cork-based trio of Marian Murray (violin), Paul Dowling
(bass) and Owen Sutton (drums).
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, 8th March with an event featuring the
Belfast-based sound sculptor Paul Stapleton and the Newcastle-based
electronic musician Nick Williams.
