The group was formed in 2000 by brothers Helmut and Franz Vonlichten. Helmut and Franz studied piano with their mother. After graduating from high school, Franz worked in recording studios while Helmut attended and graduated from UCLA, with a degree in archaeology. Their music has been licensed by many movie and television production studios, being included in numerous movie trailers and television shows. E.S. Posthumus released three albums overall in their career.
On July 22, 2010, it was officially announced that Franz died about two months before. After giving notice of his brother's death, Helmut stated that while there still may be one or two unreleased songs (One of them being their single "Christmas Eve" released in November 2010), the group would no longer be active. In November 2011, it was officially announced that Helmut Vonlichten has formed a new band called Les Friction, and released a preview at his new work with a track called "Torture".

Vije e ja, va mi ture
Farolos e ran, seki tuna
Ka li tule
Crevi omne novi some
Tu, mon eramis,
Desin tela
Munera fara
Stir antero
Haranten no, saeve
Sere muna, vorrina
Sere muna, vorrina
Halay (halay, halay)
Soke brena
Ful madon ne
Unom laso
Gra cordia no
Vida scila
Senten tina
Praevi ame, so ka tavia some
Tu, mon eramis,
Desin tela
Move ad va, tiyo
Munera fara
Stir antero
Haranten no, saeve
Sere muna, vorrina
Sere muna, vorrina
An usum ve
Chel lumena
Tu, mon eramis,
Desin tela
Move ad va, tiyo
Munera fara

Haranten no, saeve

The lyrics of E.S. Posthumus's song Vorrina are written in a combination of different languages and are open to various interpretations. The song's title is derived from the Latin word 'Vorina,' which means 'a whirlpool or vortex.' The lyrics appear to narrate a story of an individual who is urging and leading another person towards a specific direction, most likely towards a place of significance or a cultural experience.
The song begins with Scindi, torte vi yo, Vije e ja, va mi ture, which has been interpreted to mean 'break the wall, open your eyes, let me guide you.' After which, the person continues with Farolos e ran, seki tuna, ka li tule, crevi omne novi some, which can be translated to 'look at the lights, listen to the sounds, this is what you have been missing.'
The lyrics proceed to speak about the experience in Halay, a Turkish folk dance, and then continue with phrases from other languages. The song ends with An usum ve, Chel lumena, which can be interpreted as 'follow me to the light.' Altogether, the song seems to be about encouraging someone to experience a transformative cultural experience, while the languages utilized in the lyrics may be symbolic of diverse experiences that can shape one's beliefs and worldview.

I can't believe this has no comments whatsoever! This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have heard in my entire life! The first time this fell upon my ears, I was absolutely enchanted. I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks.

Couldn't agree more. This song, as well as the other es posthumus songs like it are the solution to the worlds problems.

the thing is, quite a few people have probably listened to the remixed version of this song because they find the vocals weird and out of place. to me, it sounds gorgeous
