Glenn Branca's Hallucination City [Archival Music]

Title

Glenn Branca's Hallucination City [Archival Music]

Description

Jim Gladman and Jeff Cashdollar made this recording of the premier of Glenn Branca's "Hallucination City." It was one of the last performances to take place at the WTC complex. It featured 100 electric guitars and 20 electric basses and a drummer. Glenn Branca was conducting in his wild manner while smoking cigarettes. Recalling how amazed he was by the wall of sound, Jim remembers turning to the person next to him and saying that the piece should be titled "Symphony for Jet Aircraft."
