#NowPlaying The season demands Scriabin's (unfinished) 'Mysterium'. This "cataclysmic opus" was to designed "to end the world and its present race of men" and the 1st and only performance would "annihilate space & melt reality" and replace the human race with "nobler beings". 
Scriabin planned the multisensory synaesthetic performance to be in a specially-built temple in the Himalayan foothills. "Bells suspended from the clouds in the sky would summon the [many 1000s of] spectators from all over the world" & seat them according to spiritual advancement
Seeing as “The universe would be completely destroyed by [the performance], and mankind plunged into the holocaust of finality” it's probably a good thing that Scriabin died in 1915, aged 43, and didn't get to realise his plans.
...And I'd still rather see this concert than pay 500 quid for an Adele ticket.
