Band of the Week: Hora

In 2000, Hora started his musical career as the keyboard player in the band "Velvet Eden", though he left in 2001 and formed a new band. "Rudolf Steiner" would be his main project while also working as a composer for "Schwarz Stein", which would lead him into his current solo career.

Him going solo meant that he could do his own thing, being much darker than his previous projects, although some of it leaked into Schwaz Stein, and he didn't require a vocalist. His solo music can exist perfectly on its own, and any vocals added were carefully crafted to almost blend into the composition yet still being their own proper element.

His most recent album dates from June this year, but it'd been a few years since his previous one. The reason for this is that he declared himself "retired" from the stage, so he wouldn't perform anymore, wouldn't be present in any publications or media etc. He even had his photo blurred in any picture books that came out during this "retirement".

I keep using quotation marks there, because he has still been active in the music world, just not particularly drawing attention to himself or pursuing his solo career. However, as mentioned earlier, he's back with a new album "Cocoon".
