From the sound artist:
I chose this painting as the more I looked at it the more layers revealed themselves. At first glance, everyone seems to be in jovial spirits, but on closer inspection the atmosphere is more frantic. And despite our knowledge of the story of the Trojan horse, I think there is a sense of innocence in the painting. But the main focus for my piece is the horse. In the middle section I take the listener on a journey inside the horse.
