Iris
Performed by Michael Sammons
Instrumentation: Snare Drum and digital playback
Program Notes:
Iris is a work for solo snare drum (though multiple snare drums can be used if desired) and digital playback. All of the source material for the digital playback was taken through samples created using my snare drum and then manipulated through the Iris 2 software synthesizer which is where the title of the work came from.
Iris is dedicated to Dr. J. Michael Sammons who commissioned and premiered the work during his recital at the 2023 Festival de Percussao in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
