HODO GAIA are Aiko Blumer (Hinterkammermusik), Veit Oberrauch (Mount Hush, Hinterkammermusik), and Jan Weissenfeldt (JJ Whitefield, W.I.T.C.H., Embryo, Karl Hector & The Malcouns, Whitefield Brothers, Poets of Rhythm), joined by Maasl Maier (Embryo, Karaba) and Jakob Thun (Embryo, Karaba) when playing live. Weaving far-reaching influences into one organic braid, wandering through cosmic soundscapes and unleashing from limits and borders, is what brought Aiko, Veit and Jan together and inspired them to create a project that blends impressionism, avant-garde pop music, Krautrock and psychedelic scores from the 60s and 70s into one musical portrait. This portrait is brought to life through the energy and experience that Maasl and Jakob bring along with their elaborate interpretations of mystic sounds and bewildering rhythms.
Their first single >>Collarbones<< will be released in 2023 through Permakultur Schallplatten.
