Iron Giant Free Association premieres new music by local composers in boundary-stretching performance.Iron Giant has worked with members of the Birmingham Art Music Alliance to create a group of flexible compositions that reward creative investment from performers and audiences alike. The details of each piece are changeable, so the sounds differ from performance to performance. This is the first concert of a series of programs, with the following compositions receiving their world premiere.
Iron Segments - Michael Coleman
Armature - Monroe Golden / Iron Giant
as reflected in the glimmer of the black pond - Holland Hopson
différance - Mark Lackey
Thus Spoke the Giant - Joseph Landers
Versicles for Aries - Kyle McGucken
Improvisation - LaDonna Smith / Iron Giant
This activity is supported by Alabama State Council on the Arts.
Iron Giant Free Association evolved from Iron Giant Percussion, with the quartet of founders -- Sam Herman, Brett Huffman, Seth Noble, and Justin Wallace -- remaining as core members. Established in 2011 and based in Birmingham (AL), the ensemble has performed alongside artists such as Sō Percussion, Third Coast Percussion, Glenn Kotche of Wilco, and Norman Westberg of Swans. Iron Giant has collaborated with many Alabama music & arts mainstays including the Birmingham Art Music Alliance, Sanspointe Dance Company, John Scalici, and the UAB Percussion Ensemble. Their eclectic vocabulary of chamber music, ambient, noise, and post rock, combined with meditative improvisatory sensibilities makes for a listening experience both cerebral and visceral.
