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.

Frozen Plasma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching the world turn inside out
Give me one last day
This last chance to say goodbye
I know you don't play
Saying it's my fault everytime
This is no hearsay
The trace remains
A contrail in the sky
Let your rain fall down
Let your tempest fly
Let these clouds explode
And set the wheels on fire
I will trace you down
I can see your tears
I must change my mind
To give my life a meaning in the end
You always wanted
A fascinating way of life
Look what you've got now
I'm catching your dreams in return
The trace remains
A contrail in the sky
Let your rain fall down
Let your tempest fly
Let these clouds explode
And set the wheels on fire
I will trace you down
I can see your tears
I must change my mind
To give my life a meaning in the end
In the end
The lyrics of Frozen Plasma's song Condense speak about a person who is watching their loved one go away while longing for one last chance to say goodbye. The person acknowledges that their relationship has been tumultuous, with their partner often blaming them for everything that goes wrong. Despite this, the singer believes that the truth of the situation is that their partner is leaving, and the reality of it is weighing heavily on them. The singer wants their partner to unleash their emotions and let their tempest fly, bringing an end to their relationship in an explosive manner. They vow to follow their partner and change their approach to life to have a sense of fulfillment and meaning, leaving behind the past and their unhealthy relationship.
Overall, the song depicts the sense of loss and longing present in a turbulent relationship. It explores the fragility of relationships, the search for meaning and purpose, and the desire to follow one's dreams. The theme of love is present too, but more prominently it touches on the ache of a relationship that has been broken.

You go while I stay
You are leaving while I remain behind
Watching the world turn inside out
Observing the world in chaos and confusion
Give me one last day
Requesting for one final day to express feelings
This last chance to say goodbye
The final opportunity to bid farewell
I know you don't play
I am aware that you are serious
Saying it's my fault every time
Blaming me for everything that goes wrong

The truth smells so sweet tonight
Finally realizing and accepting the truth
The trace remains

A contrail in the sky
Like an airplane's trail in the sky, the proof is still present
