The sun is the central celestial body of our solar system, radiating light and heat. The sun (or “helios” in Greek) also constantly produces helium, the second most common element in the Universe after hydrogen. This noble gas has a number of things in common with music since it flows without any internal friction and can penetrate even the smallest openings. It’s also volatile and can even make people fly (e.g. when filled in balloons). So it’s quite appropriate to call a musical project Helium Vola (“vola” meaning “fly!” in English).
This project centres around composer Ernst Horn, who many might know as the musical mastermind behind Deine Lakaien. With Helium Vola, this artist can indulge in his passion for historical texts and music, which contains medieval elements. “My love for old songs is chemical,” as this sensitive man from Munich explained. “I discovered them at the age of 14 and immediately felt that medieval music touches me intimately. The music’s heavy, shy and unspoiled nature fascinates me.” His 20 new compositions are therefore mainly in the Doric church mode, giving them that devout melancholy that characterized the music between the 8th and 14th centuries.
“Liod” is the project’s second album, following its debut “Helium Vola” in 2001. The name was carefully chosen since “Liod” is the Old German word for “song”, but also means “ice” in Russian. “I just liked the sound of the word,” Horn explained.

@Methismeno: Listen to them carefully and you'll hear that their lyrics are different and their sound is different - only the composition is the same. Cd1 and cd2 have different themes and they are reflected in "A voi che amate" and "Preghiera" as introductions very clearly. :)
