Judy Dunaway performs her "Piece for Tenor Balloon" at Logos in Belgium in 2002. This piece combines written notation with improvisational passages.
This isn't even a joke. Here are some quotes from the CD booklet (which I originally checked out from the university library out of sheer curiosity):
Quote
In 1990, the New York performance space Roulette invited me to do an evening of my compositions and improvisations. I wanted to create new pieces that didn't use standard instruments, so I decided to work with balloons.
I found that balloons responded best to manipulation by the mouth. The more I worked with balloons, the more I became seduced by this new musical vocabulary. I liked that I could choose the color and size of my instruments, and that they had a sensual and appealing visual image.
After eight years of making music with them, I sometimes think that balloons may be magic. Balloons also relate to our own childhood, a time of fantasy and imagination. And balloons hold air, quite often our own breath. Is it so strange that I seem to have fallen under their spell?
People often ask if I will be popping balloons at my concerts, and my response is usually to the negative, as I don't find the sound that interesting.

when the CB turned it into "Snow"
Oh gotcha. I knew the Jackie Wilson song long before Snow existed so when I hear Jackie Wilson I just hear Jackie Wilson. And when I hear Snow I hear Jackie Wilson.
Now if the brothers could find a way of appropriating this into a choon I'd be really impressed.
