The FULL SCORE and PARTS of my arrangement can be downloaded for FREE from my website here Hibiki is a piece of electro-acoustic music and sound design I composed at the end of 2017 that started as an attempt to synthesize speech from musical instrument sounds via an intensive research on timbre.
Listen to the original Hibiki here:
A year after that I created "HIBIKI LIVE", an ensemble arrangement of the original electro-acoustic Hibiki. The arrangement is more musically coherent and was a scoring challenge (I recommend having a look at the score in the link above. It's rather intriguing).
"Hibiki" ("響き") means "echo" or "reverberation" in Japanese.
Both works are pieces of music storytelling really. Originally, my experiments with sound led to the integration of synthesized words in the form of a dialogue. In the story there are two characters, a person that just died (represented by my own voice) and an ethereal being (the synthesized voices) that is about to reclaim her. The dialogue culminates with the girl accepting to give up her individuality to become part of the ethereal being as long as before she does so, the being will show her the beginning of the universe, and that is where the music starts.
I drew inspiration from the soundworld of EVP to create the illussion of a conversation and the general impression of a ghostly world.
