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.

I saw Biosphere in 1994 at the PUKKELPOP festival in belgium. The first time there was a 'dance-tent' at this festival. While 99% of the people where looking at the chili peppers on the main stage, I amongst 100 other people choose for Biosphere. A whole new world opened for me. I still remember ther was a half hour delay for his gig because he got a DISC-ERROR ;-) and there was a projection of an artistic dancer. Back then this sort of things where very rare! Now these days, elektronic an dance music is accepted, luckely.
