Tromsø, Norway

Biosphere is the main recording name of Geir Jenssen (born 1962 in Tromsø, Norway), a musician who has released a notable catalog 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 dream pop band Bel Canto. Bel Canto released records on the Belgium-based Crammed Discs.

Some tracks are free downloadable on Biosphere’s website.

Patashnik is a masterpiece with Microgravity not far behind. People Are Friends from his latest release is quite bizarre but beautiful....

I'm pretty sure Substrata is his best, but I don't really like to say that, I mean, I think that Cirque is a pretty different album in my opinion, they're awesome in different ways.

Yes, its quite strange, because i am not totally convinced that Subtrata is the best one. He's got many comparable albums, Cirque for example.

that's very interesting - all 11 tracks of Substrata are first 11 of top tracks. Substrata is his best album (and for me - the only one interesting album in his discography. maybe a part of Insomnia too)
