Sound Horizon
Information:
Sound Horizon is a very unique group, even for the Japanese music scene. They are sometimes referred to as a "fantasy group", being that their music often tells a story, or a series of stories that spans several songs. The songs are very often narrated as well, sometimes by established voice actors and actresses. The group itself has only one full-time member, Revo. Revo is responsible for a lot of the instruments, as well as the composition and lyrics to the groups songs. The support members (both past and present) are far too numerous to mention, ranging everywhere from vocalists, to other musicians, to narrators. The group got its start through Revo releasing his music online, and later would be recorded onto CDs that were distributed to doujinshi (fan publications) fan circles.
