Very good start to this late night Prom, on a rather "Barbenheimer"-like day for The Proms, given the wildly different natures of the two Proms today. I don't really know Hannah Peel's work, and thus had no expectations or idea of what to expect. I picked up on its pulsating 'music with repetitive structures' vibe. The Ben Nobuto work going on now feels more like a collage.
