As is tradition, January is the time of new beginnings and
resolutions. Stet Lab is no different and kicks off the new year with
an exciting event, upstairs at The Roundy, Castle Street on Monday,
January 12th. However, as Stet Lab is always attempting to navigate
the boundary between familiar and unexpected, it begin with a favorite
guest artist and respected (and unpredictable) fiddle player
extraordinaire, Murray Campbell.

Campbell is something of a veteran of Stet Lab (he has featured twice
at Stet Lab). A cutting-edge technician and popular musical agitator,
he brings the best out in his fellow performers.

Campbell, as an improviser, has performed with some of the finest
performers in the field including Mary Oliver (USA/The Netherlands),
Stu Ritchie (UK), Koen Nutters (The Netherlands) and Randy McKean
(USA). Campbell was also the long time musical/technical director of
Jan Langedijk’s theater company, De Daders (Amsterdam), and is
involved in an ongoing collaboration with Mr McFall’s Chamber
(Edinburgh). In 2007 he created, with sound/software engineer Alex
Fiennes, an octophonic spatialization system for dialogues
(Edinburgh), and is a founding member of the Church of Sonology.

In addition, as a musician who loves to see people get up and dance,
Campbell is the ideal candidate for starting off the electrifying 2009
season of Stet Lab. Currently based in California, and originally from
Scotland, he is a versatile performer, at home in Scottish, Balkan and
Bluegrass fiddle music as well as ‘straight’ violin. In this capacity
he has played with accomplished artists such as Vermillion Lies, and
Paul Kamm and Eleanor MacDonald.

To aid Campbell in the musical leap-off-the-edge is a new, Cork-based
ensemble OPKA. It seems appropriate to begin Stet Lab’s new year
season with a promising 4-piece act that pledges “real-time efforts
towards, and away from, coherence.” The (ir)rational agents of OPKA
are Owen Sutton (drums), Paul Dowling (bass), and Kevin Terry and
Andrea Bonino (guitars).

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

Stet Lab’s 2009 season will continue on Tuesday, February 10th with
veteran saxophonist-improviser Paul Dunmall.

The opening Stet Lab of 2009 takes place in one week (Monday, January
12th). The event will feature the return of the way-out,
unconventional fiddle player Murray Campbell. Details are at:

Also performing at the event will be an exciting new quartet, OPKA—

Owen Sutton (drums), Paul Dowling (bass), and Kevin Terry and Andrea
Bonino (guitars).

It’ll be an event of compelling noises and left-field interactions.
Hope to see y'all there—we appreciate, and depend on, your continued
support.

Thanks to special guest Murray Campbell who (despite battling a cold)
energized the event and injected enthusiasm and his unique brand of
humor into the proceedings. Kudos also to OPKA (Owen Sutton, Paul
Dowling, Kevin Terry and Andrea Bonino) for kicking things off for
2009, and to all who performed including returning regulars (Susan
Geaney and Tony O’Connor), old-timers (Han-earl Park and Veronica
Tadman), and newcomers to the Stet Lab stage (Vicky Langan). Thanks
again to John Hough for acting as the photographer for Stet Lab.

And, as always, special thanks to all who came to listen—newcomers and
regulars alike.
