Hior Chronik (George Papadopolous), born in Athens in 1974, breathes life into sound, weaving it into something that exists just outside of time. His journey began in the early 90s, working as a radio producer at Jazz FM and writing for music magazines. But it wasn’t until a decade ago that he fully embraced the art of sound-making, finding his voice in neo-classical and ambient music. With a focus on piano, his compositions are cinematic landscapes — unfolding melodies that hang in the air like memories, melancholic and meditative, with notes scattered like forgotten thoughts.
In 2012, under the name Pill-Oh with Zinovia Arvanitidi, he released Vanishing Mirror on KITCHEN. LABEL — an album that served as his introduction to the world. His 2015 solo debut, Taking The Veil, brought him into a new light, featuring collaborations with artists like Field Rotation and Sophie Hutchings. The album became a quiet bridge between temporal and classical, drawing listeners into a place where time moves differently, where music breathes and lingers.
