Judy Dunaway - Mother Of Balloon Music


Judy Dunaway is a composer, improvisor and conceptual artist who is primarily known for her sound works for latex balloons. Since 1990 Judy Dunaway has composed over thirty works for balloons as instruments and has also made this her main instrument for improvisation.

Judy Dunaway has developed techniques allowing her to play rubber balloons the same way avant-garde musicians use extended techniques on, say, the saxophone. She squeezes the mouthpiece, uses breathing techniques, and uses various types of rubbing to make incredible noises.
