The Gensou Gakudan (fantasy band), [Sound Horizon] is a group of artists who are supervised by the sound creator [Revo] (lyricist, composer, arranger).
Sound Horizon’s primary goal is to express fantastical stories in music, and to that end, each selection of members is tailored to a specific tale. There can be any number of narrators and vocalists, and they can be of any gender. Though one may sum up Sound Horizon’s style as “story music”, what truly distinguishes it is its storytelling methodology of combining lyrics, melodies, narration and sound effects to paint vivid scenes. These scenes come together to form an album, which is in turn structured to be a suite of songs. At the root of these albums are questions that deeply relate to the duality of humanity--life and death, light and shadow, love and hatred, joy and sorrow--and content that becomes more profound with every listen.
