"The duo explores the irregular overtone series produced by latex ballons, tones derived from the analytical formula that decribes the harmonics of a sphere, and nothing less than the known resonant frequencies of the earth."

Full Description:

The premiere of balloon virtuoso and composer Dunaway's For Balloon and String Quartet, featuring the Flux Quartet. Using balloons as reeds, strings and resonators, Dunaway blends the timbres of the balloon and string quartet into a singular unit as only she can. The Flux will also perform a work by Alvin Lucier and Dunaway will conduct an audience participation piece that uses balloons as "eardrums." For Balloon and String Quartet was underwritten by the American Composers Forum with funds provided by the Jerome Foundation.
