[edit] Biography

Hora began his musical career in 2000 as keyboardist for Velvet Eden. He left the band a year later to form Rudolf Steiner with ex-ISOLA member Kaya.

He contributed to Schwarz Stein by composing all of the music, which is one of the founding pillars for his solo career. The synthesizer sounds and dark melodies Hora uses for his solo are also present in Schwarz Stein's material. Although the similarities between his solo career and Schwarz Stein are clear, Hora's solo works are composed without the requirement of a vocalist. One of the most notable parts of his stage outfit during Schwarz Stein live shows were his custom-made synthesizers. One of them was also used in the cover art of the Schwarz Stein album Artificial Hallucination.

Hora has reportedly retired from stage (stating he wishes to concentrate on composing). Hora is currently hiding his appearance from the public, an example being another cell's booklet, where the picture labeled "Hora" was just static, while the picture of Kaya was clearly visible. Despite his 'retirement', Hora is still active in the music field. He is currently pursuing a solo career for which he has released five albums. His latest album "ICEBOUND" was released in November 2007.
