[2] Another point was that Ernst Horn wanted to put a stronger focus on composition developing more complex song structures toward ensemble pieces,[3] and to create his own electronic sounds.

[6] The name based on the noble gas that is lighter than air is supposed to reflect the playful idealism that Horn felt in connection with the project.

The title piece directly took off in the clubs of the scene and the project launched the debut album Helium Vola in 2001.

Here, Horn connects the sinking of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk in 2000 (the album is dedicated to the victims) and the reactions to this tragedy with songs about youth; its love and how older generations deal with the younger.

In this way they serve the deep thoughts and emotions Horn covers in a rich variety of facets with this project and that Lutzenberger communicates to the audience in as great variability as precision.

Horn rather wants to unravel the general quality of human life connecting thoughts and ideas of medieval poets with contemporary people.

[10] "Omnis mundi creatura" is prominently cited, and develops in kind of a leitmotiv like the theme of the song about "La fille aux cheveux noirs", a poem by Houellebecq, whose poetry is already featured on the debut.

[13] Here, Horn associates some languages with specific types of music, such as Provençal for love songs, while Latin appears strict and angular, and Old High German with its archaic character is combined with electronic experiments.

[7] His idea is not to follow strictly the medieval records but rather to emphasize general and timeless subjects as love, death, and nature, but also political questions.
