Ever felt overstimulated by your phone screen? Ben Nobuto’s SERENITY 2.0 is a glitched-out collage of frenzied strings, percussion and samples. It cycles restlessly through Japanese pop, news anchors and vocal-fried YouTubers – but the calm after the doomscrolling is worth the ride. Musician and DJ Nabihah Iqbal takes inspiration from Boiler Room raves to the Turner Prize. What Psyche Felt for string quartet and electronics, receives its world premiere. The finale? Eric Prydz’s colossal house anthem Opus, reimagined.
