Judy Dunaway

Since 1990, Judy Dunaway has composed over forty compositions for  
balloons as instruments, and has also made this her main instrument  
for improvisation. She has presented her compositions and  
improvisations throughout North America and Europe at many well-known  
venues and festivals including Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors, the SoHo  
Arts Festival, the Alternative Museum, the Knitting Factory, P.S.  
122, Roulette, Experimental Intermedia, the New Museum of  
Contemporary Art, the Bang On A Can Festival, the Guelph Jazz  
Festival, Podewil, ZKM and SŽance Ecoute.
She has performed as a balloon player in compositions by John Zorn  
and Roscoe Mitchell, and in improvisations and/or collaborations with  
the Flux Quartet, Joe Gallant's Illuminati big band, DJ Singe, visual  
artists Ken Butler and Nancy Davidson, and numerous others.
Her compositions for balloons include electronic and multi-media  
works, sound installations, and works that incorporate more  
traditional instrumentation such as string quartet, chorus and  
Japanese koto.

CRI/Composers Recordings Inc. released a full CD of her works for  
balloons entitled "Balloon Music" in 1998. A CD of her noise-rock  
trio "Shar" (in which the balloon replaces the electric guitar) was  
recently released on Outer Realm records. Her discography also  
includes appearances on John Zorn's "Cobra" from Knitting Factory Works.

Awards include a commission from the American Composers Forum's  
Composers Commissioning Fund, an artist/researcher-in-residency at  
Zentrum fuer Kunst und Medientechnologie, a recording residency at  
Harvestworks/Studio Pass, and grants from the National Endowment for  
the Arts, Meet the Composer and the Kalliste Foundation.
