PUBLIC DETAIL (Students of Decay, 2024) ----- "Operating since the late 2010s, Vienna-based sound artist the concept horse has quietly amassed a distinctive and diverse discography, 
drawing inspiration from the rich traditions of musique concrète, noise, plunderphonics, microsound, and free improvisation. PUBLIC DETAIL follows releases on labels such as FALT and czaszka [rec.],
as well as the artist's own eë editions, and neatly encapsulates the polyglottic breadth of the project. Patinaed piano loops and wistful ambience give way to chance percussion environments, 
beat research, and treated location recordings, resulting in a suite of evasive and diffuse music informed by dialectics such as repetition/unrepeatability and formal rigor/chaos.

boomkat: "Vienna-based sound artist the concept horse's latest tweaks incidental sounds and snatched samples to bring out 
unexpected color and rhythm... We're being taught a listening language, and we're urged to tune in deeply."

the quietus: "It's an album of scenes. Simple musical arrangements which reveal fascinating detail and depth. Rigid structures whose outlines 
fluctuate and bend. The tracks feel intimately connected to each other but have enough variation to avoid monotony. Like a perfectly curated collection 
of sketches where the colours change but the underlying perspective is never lost."
