A sonic exploration into presence, power, and the unseen
The act of seeing is never neutral. Every image carries a history, a weight, a power dynamic shaping how we perceive it.HORSES—as a film, as an idea—does not just capture a reality; it questions who constructs it. The soundtrack, then, is not an accompaniment. It is a response.
In composing this album, I wanted to step away from the way sound is often used in cinema—to guide, to reinforce, to dictate emotion. Instead, I asked: What happens when sound leads? When it does not serve the image but rather unravels its power?
The horses in the film exist between control and freedom, between labor and ritual, between the seen and the overlooked. Their world is one of movement, breath, rhythm—an existence dictated by forces beyond them. In this score, I wanted to reflect that tension. The weight of repetition. The pulse of anticipation. The quiet violence of expectation.
Taking inspiration from Latent Community’s concept ofImageless Film, this album extends that idea further—what if we could hear presence without seeing it? What if sound alone could create a space where perception is not dictated, but felt?
HORSESis not just a soundtrack. It is an invitation to rethink how we relate to what we see. To step beyond the frame. To listen deeper.
