FicTones

Its guiding philosophy is Where Endings Bloom into Beginnings.

FicTones is a creative studio born from fiction and tones.“When stories and music intersect, imagination awakens.”
It is this creativity that we seek to explore.
Here, through released tracks, musical studies, and poetry,
you too can encounter fragments of this journey.


About

Creative PhilosophyThe impulse to create holds a value that cannot be measured by numbers or logic.
FicTones is a place that affirms this pure intention and gives it form.
Free from economic outcomes or social conventions,
it is about safeguarding the feeling of “I want to do this.”
It is about continuing what you love, and choosing the expressions that truly matter to you.
Such a stance may stir resonance within someone’s imagination,
becoming a gentle reminder that, “I too am free to pursue what I wish to do.”
FicTones keeps the flame of creation alive,
upholding its guiding philosophy — “Where Endings Bloom into Beginnings”
and continues to explore the creativity born where stories and music meet.
It is an endless journey, a quiet pursuit of expression
that will echo into the future.


The Music of FicTones

FicTones’ music is created as background music (BGM) to evoke fantastical and imaginative worlds. At its heart are etheric vocals and synthesisers, with the human voice used as an instrument to craft a distinctive sonic character. Reverb and echo are employed extensively, giving rise to a soundscape rich in depth and spaciousness.Composed to accompany narrative scenes, some pieces intentionally omit clearly defined melodies, allowing atmosphere and mood to take the lead. The tempo and character of each track shift in response to the setting it represents.May this music gently lead you into a story that is yours alone to imagine.


The Story Behind the Logo

The FicTones logo features a butterfly. Throughout history, butterflies have held profound symbolic significance across various cultures, representing transformation, the soul, and the realisation of dreams. In Greek mythology, Psyche, meaning “soul” or “spirit,” is closely associated with butterflies. In ancient Egyptian and Mayan civilisations, butterflies were seen as symbols of rebirth and metamorphosis. Even today, they embody creativity and change, carrying an air of mystery.In my artistic journey, butterflies serve as a symbol of inspiration and expansion. Stories emerge from the depths of the mind—they may have been cocooned within me since childhood, waiting to unfold. When words take shape in the vastness of thought, they hatch into narrative, and sound follows in kind. Like a butterfly just freed from its chrysalis, the music takes flight, evolving into the soundscape of the story. Simply put, I have always been captivated by butterfly motifs. Perhaps, that alone is reason enough.


Founder of FicTones

About Me

Greetings. My name is Aruku.
FicTones is the studio name under which I share part of my creative work— a space where stories and music meet. My guiding philosophy is “Where Endings Bloom into Beginnings.”
I am primarily engaged in writing stories and composing music. My journey began with instrumental music, initially separate from my writing. Over time, however, I found myself imagining scenes where certain melodies would unfold, inspiring me to explore a unique musical world of my own.In my creative work, music and storytelling are deeply interconnected. Stories spark the inspiration for my compositions, while music expands the scope of these narratives. The fusion of both allows my artistic expression to evolve and flourish.Since childhood, countless imagined tales have wandered through my mind. Inspired by mythology and magic, I immerse myself in worlds that transcend time and space. This inner realm has always been an essential part of me.Behind the act of creation lie daily doubts and quiet struggles. And yet, I believe that making art is a way of embracing the light and shadow within oneself—a way of being, not just a task.In today’s world, where many ways of expression exist, I’ve chosen to let my work speak for me.
Through creative expression, I’ve come to discover the quiet joy of connection. I’m truly grateful for the bond I share with you, simply by your being here and meeting my work.
To unlock one’s senses and imagination is to affirm oneself—and to step beyond the confines of familiar boundaries. Surely, this is not something unique to me alone. May everyone on this earth be free to pursue what they love and share their uniqueness with one another. And to you, reading this now—I honour and celebrate your presence.Please note: In my writing work, I publish under a different name. Information about my fiction is not available on this site.

FicTones Exhibition of Musical Studies

This page showcases musical studies created by FicTones. Typically, music is released in its finalised form, but here, we present an alternative perspective—an exhibition of the creative process. A musical study is a composition born from exploration—an essential space for experimenting with unfamiliar sounds while refining technical skills. With each attempt, new possibilities unfold.
