Felix Marc (Vocals)
Felix started to create music in 1994. The initial pieces consisted exclusively of synthesizer -, drumcomputer and sampled sounds, which were steered via a software sequencer. Since 1994, there have been different stylistic changes and developments from Hard Trance, to House and Rave and later to a symbiosis of Dream House and Trance.
The developments in the creation of his music went hand in hand with a regular commitment as DJ. First limited to parties and school happenings, he soon became a resident DJ in local clubs, which gave him the opportunity to present his own material to a broad public.
In 2001, Felix joined efforts with his long-time friend Torben Wendt in his Dark Wave group Diorama as producer, background singer and live keyboard player. This co-operation brought forward some amazing musical pieces and experiences. The latest release is called A Different Life which is already their 5th album.
During a support tour with Diorama for VNV Nation in April 2005, Felix connected to Vasi Vallis who was playing live keyboards for VNV. In the aftermath, they decided to start a collaboration with Felix being the lead singer.
Vasi Vallis (Songwriting, Lyrics, Production)
Vasi's first project appeared in 1986. His minimal techno/acid project Galatea became a well known name in the Swiss underground scene. After several Acid productions for Galatea and some co-productions for popular Swiss, Italian and German underground DJ's, his style changed into the early minimal techno, when techno was underground and not commercial music. Vasi became an in-house producer for several techno labels and worked as a talent scout for Sony Music Switzerland. In 1994, he produced his first pop/eurodance project, Provocation, which had a top 10 hit in Switzerland and top 50 in the Spanish and Italian club/dance charts. 1997 he produced some album tracks as a "ghost producer" for several major labels. The more he worked with majors, the more he disliked the way they treated their bands and he missed the emotion and passion for music within this highly commerce-focused industry. The following years, he focused on the setup of a new studio, which gave him the possibility to work independently from labels or other producers. In 2001 he discovered bands like VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, Neuroticfish and Assemblage 23 which combined techno/trance elements with melancholic chords and vocals. He decided to start his own project and found a singer (Henrik Iversen) who's voice fitted perfectly to his new sound. The band was called NamNamBulu and was founded in the summer of 2002. In March 2003 he signed a deal with Infacted Recordings, a new label founded by Torben Schmidt. Torben had the ideas, vision and passion for music Vasi was looking for. The first longplayer "Distances" became a huge success in the scene and NNB played about 40 gigs all over the world. Vasi produced more than 25 remixes for bands like Suicide Commando, [:SITD:], Lights of Euphoria, Tom Wax or Absurd Minds. In April 2005, he joined VNV Nation as live keyboarder and played the Matter and Form tour as well as the Mera Luna Festival in Germany. In June 2005, Henrik left NamNamBulu due to personal issues. Just 2 months later, Vasi released his industrial Project Reaper which was in the German Alternative Top Ten for 6 weeks and reached number 1 on the Dutch Alternative Charts. Vasi then met Felix on a VNV Nation tour, and the two musicians embarked on a journey that would become Frozen Plasma.
A Second Of Life
Frozen Plasma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As cold as death
A heart like a stone
Never felt alone
She never felt alone
No feelings inside
Her lips never lied
No worries in mind
She was not one of the kind
She can’t be seen
Can’t be felt
Can’t be heard
Can’t be smelled
Never said any word
Flew away like a bird
Just a second of life
Until her time arrived
She left this world
Took her flight
Towards the rays of light
She cast warm sand
Over deep rivers
And withered land
She held my hand
My eyes grew dim
We watch death walk in
Where will she go?
Hang your prayers in the winds of the night
The lyrics of Frozen Plasma's "A Second of Life" describe a character whose existence is characterized by an absence of emotion and a detachment from the world. The songwriter uses metaphors such as "alive without breath" and "a heart like a stone" to underscore this point. The character never felt alone, but only because she lacked the ability to experience loneliness in the first place. Her lack of feelings extended to her communication with others; her lips never lied, but neither did they ever speak.
The second half of the song takes a different direction, describing the character's departure from this world. Though she could not be seen, felt, heard or smelled, she existed in some form that allowed her to leave this world towards the "rays of light", leaving warm sand behind and crossing deep rivers and withered land. The song portrays death as a gentle but unstoppable force that the character accepts gracefully: "she held my hand, my eyes grew dim, we watch death walk in." The song concludes with a sense of hope and wonder regarding what comes next: "where will she go? Hang your prayers in the winds of the night."

Alive without breath
She existed, but without any real passion or purpose
As cold as death

She was content being by herself
She never felt alone
She was comfortable and at ease with solitude
No feelings inside

Just a second of life
Her time on earth was brief
Until her time arrived

She left this world
She died and passed on
Took her flight
Towards the rays of light
She passed away and headed towards the afterlife
She cast warm sand
Over deep rivers
And withered land
In death, she found a way to bring comfort and healing to the world
She held my hand
My eyes grew dim
We watch death walk in
She died in the company of someone who loved her
Where will she go?
The singer wonders what happens to the soul after death
Hang your prayers in the winds of the night
The singer suggests that it's important to hold onto hope and faith, even in the darkest of times
