Kikù Hibino

Kikù Hibino is a Japanese sound artist, composer, and performer known for his innovative approach to electronic and experimental music. Born in Japan and currently based in Chicago, Hibino’s work explores the intersections of ambient soundscapes, noise, and visual art, often focusing on immersive, site-specific performances and collaborations across disciplines. His practice integrates analog synthesizers, digital processing, field recordings, and acoustic instrumentation, resulting in nuanced compositions that blur the boundaries between the organic and the technological.

With a background in fine arts and a strong connection to both Japanese and American contemporary art scenes, Hibino has exhibited and performed internationally at a range of institutions, galleries, and festivals, constantly pushing the envelope of how sound can be experienced and understood. Engaged in projects that span installation art, experimental theater, and community sound workshops, Hibino remains a distinctive voice in today’s avant-garde sound culture, committed to fostering dialogue through sonic experimentation and cross-cultural exchange.
