本乐团是由音乐创作人【Revo】（作词/作•编曲）所主宰的艺术团体。

为了用音乐展现富于幻想的故事，每次都会按所需人数，招集符合条件的成员组成乐团，是形式罕见的团体。歌手、旁白的人数、性别均无限定。Sound Horizon的音乐一言以蔽之便是“物语音乐”，结合情景加入诗、歌、念白、效果音等来展现故事是其最大特征，这点在将整张专辑仿照组曲编成的“组曲式”结构中得以鲜明体现。作品理念的基础在于对具有生与死、光与影、爱与憎、喜与悲这类两面性的人性本质发出诘问，听得越多，越能理解其内容深刻。

Sound Horizon所演奏的《物语》，并非仅限音乐，集齐包装在内的所有要素便可能得到更进一步的解读。负责每次封面创作的yokoyan氏笔下的优美画作以及新颖的歌词本设计，也对展现Sound Horizon充满幻想的世界观起着重要的作用。

此外，在Sound Horizon的艺术活动中，舞台上展开的表演与音乐CD具有同等的重要性。冠名为Story CD的最新专辑发售时举办公演“Story Concert”的目的，便是基于将Revo所创造的“物语音乐”在舞台上忠实再现的宗旨，让观众们不仅从听觉，从视觉上也能充分享受富于幻想的世界观。相对于此，在名为“领土扩张远征”的巡回演唱会上，则会将此前活动中发布的歌曲以各种各样的形式予以展现。公演的特征还包括将整个会场都设定为幻想世界的舞台，仅是坐在观众席上也能成为故事的“参与者”。由观众一同参与而得以实现的综合性娱乐形式，也是Sound Horizon独特的妙趣所在。

此外，由于在本页面中难以尽述，另有“Sound Horizon用语集”收集了许多能助您体验Sound Horizon世界观乐趣的提示，敬请一并参阅。

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.

The «story» woven by Sound Horizon doesn’t stop just at the sound, either. Even the CD packaging is a significant element in one’s interpretation of the story. yokoyan’s beautiful illustrations on the CD cover and the creative booklet designs also play an important role in expressing Sound Horizon’s fantastical world view.

Sound Horizon also expresses its story through stage performances as well, which holds as much weight as the music CDs. “Story Concerts” are held whenever new Story CD albums are released, with the intent of reenacting Revo’s “story music” in a staged performance. As such, the concerts aim to let the audience experience a world of fantasy through both their ears and eyes. In contrast, a great variety of songs from past works are performed in many forms during The Great Territorial Expansion live tours. During performances, the entire venue is transformed into a stage upon which the world of fantasy descends, and audience members are able to participate in the story by merely being present. This makes Sound Horizon an all-encompassing form of entertainment that is only complete with audience participation; a unique experience you might not find anywhere else.
There is much that cannot be said within this page, so please also take a look at the "Sound Horizon glossary", which contains plenty of hints that will further your enjoyment of Sound Horizon’s world view.
