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

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.
