Balloon Work

by Tomi Räisänen

for guitar and 4 balloons


Description

Balloon Work is written for five musicians. Four of them play balloons producing squeaky, breathy, rubbing and inflating sounds. The fifth musician (who is not required to be a guitarist) plays the back of the guitar with a friction mallet to create whalesong-like sounds. Not a single normal musical note is played in this piece. But then again, what is “normal” in music?
