Stet Lab kicks off the new year upstairs at The Roundy, Castle Street,
Cork, Ireland on Monday, 11 January 2010. This month’s Stet Lab
introduces to Ireland, the Istanbul-based electronic musician,
computer artist and improviser Korhan Erel.
Those who have attended Stet Lab events will have seen many electronic
performers on stage, but Korhan Erel is one of a kind. Erel’s work is
well known within the experimental and electronic music scenes and
with the international improvised music community. Approaching his
computer-based performances as a musician, performer and
instrumentalist, he avoids the easy trap of over-clouding the sound
field with layers and overpopulating the frequency spectra, allowing
space for other performers. Radically rethinking the laptop, in his
hands it becomes, according to Erel, the “sound body and resonator,”
whilst the controller is “the exciter.”
Erel is a pioneer of the free improvisation scene in Istanbul,
founding the ensemble Islak Köpek, and releasing the first Turkish
free improvisation recording in December 2008. His work has been
released on the re:konstruKt label; he has performed at STEIM
(Amsterdam), and has performed with Le Quan Ninh, Kirstie Simpson,
Karlheinz Essl, Nora Volkova Ensemble, Markus Wenninger, Attila Dora,
Artur Vidal, Sebastien Branche, Ecotone Experimental Theater, Mary
Margaret Moore, Richard Nunns, Christian Asplund, Oguz Büyükberber,
Umut Caglar, Robert Reigle, Sevket Akinci, Kevin William Davis, Dilek
Acay, Dirk Stromberg, Volkan Terzioglu, Erdem Helvacioglu, Elektronik
Kumpanya and Tolga Tüzün.
This month also sees the return of the trio of Cork-based improvisers,
Han-earl Park (guitar), Jesse Ronneau (double bass) and Veronica
Tadman (voice), adding an analogue contrast to the digital main act.
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, 8 February 2010 featuring drummer Evan
Dorrian from Canberra, Australia.
