Biosphere is the main recording name of Geir Jenssen (born 1962 in Tromsø, Norway), a musician who has released a notable catalogue of ambient electronic music. He is well known for his “ambient house” then “arctic ambient” styles, his use of music loops, and peculiar samples from sci-fi sources. His track “

Novelty Waves” was used for the 1995 campaign of Levi’s. His 1997 album Substrata is generally seen as one of the all time classic ambient albums. Before launching Biosphere, Jenssen was a member of the Norwegian indie band Bel Canto. Bel Canto released records on the Belgium-based Crammed Discs.

Some tracks are free downloadable on Biosphere’s website.

I don't get Substrata. Too busy, maybe. Put me down as a Dropsonde fan.

This music takes me to a different place. It is brilliant. Listen to Substrata straight through and be taken on a journey unlike anything else. And just wait until you get to Sphere of No-Form, that's one hell of an experience. Interesting that so many people find this music depressive, I find it serene and relaxing.
