The Hibiki Project is a Tkarón:to-based collective committed to expanding the prominence of Japanese and related musical genres (邦楽・Hōgaku) within and beyond the community.

Founded in 2021, Hibiki has strived to connect like-minded artists in the creation, exploration and performance of Hōgaku, previously made difficult in the western music community from inherent barriers that persist for artists who do not meet systemic cultural labels.

Taking its foundational values from the term ひびき (hi-bi-ki) — “sound quality,” “echo,” and “resonance,” these elements are reflected within the collective’s attempts to expand the borders of existing performance practices through interdisciplinary arts collaboration. Hibiki hopes to evolve into a safe platform through which emerging artists of colour can freely and authentically execute their artistic visions.
