A New Kind of POP Music
Judy Dunaway, also known as “The Mother of Balloon Music,” is an experimental composer, conceptual artist, social activist, and noise enthusiast. She has created over thirty works using latex balloons as her instrument of choice!
One of my favorite pieces, “Surabaya,” can be heard below:
More balloon music
Through POPPING, squeezing, and rubbing, Judy has carved quite a strange niche for herself in the music world. She has performed alongside string quartets and has released an album entitled “Mother of Balloon Music

I was lucky enough to catch Dunaway’s performance at the Licoln Centre Summer Festival in 1995 - the only performance that I attended that the musician popped her instrument as a grand finale!
Really need to get some audio on this, it sounds great, but I want to see exactly what she’s doing
You mean video? I’d like to see that.
She’s on You Tube
