James Ilgenfritz - The Ticket That Exploded (2020) [Hi-Res]

James Ilgenfritz composed the video opera The Ticket That Exploded in 2011, while Artist In Residence at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn. The project is based on the 1962 novel of the same name by America's preeminent avant-garde literary iconoclast, William S. Burroughs. Featuring a 20-person ensemble features many of New York’s premiere vocalists and instrumentalists, the opera mixes free jazz, sonic experimentalism, contemporary chamber music, and raucous post-punk industrial mayhem, using the same radical cut-up techniques Burroughs pioneered in his writings.

In 2015 Grant Hart (Hüsker Dü, Nova Mob) released The Ticket That Exploded on his Con D'Or label. This expanded reissue is dedicated to the memory of both Grant Hart and Steve Dalachinsky.
