Friday Playlist – Biosphere Substrata

Please allow me to submit Biosphere as an addition to your Friday office playlist. Biosphere is the recording name of Norwegian musician Geir Jenssen¹. His music has been described as “ambient techno” and “arctic ambient”².

Get a taste of his style by listening to Kobresia in the playlist below. At 01:45 the track includes a Russian speaker. Giving you the details about the speaker only adds to the ambience: The voice belongs to Karl Nikolajev, a Russian “biocommunicator” (telepath). He is sitting in a room trying to “see” an object lying on a table two floors up. The English translation:

It is either metal or … If it’s metal, it is painted… Cold surface. It is either metal (painted), or, maybe, plastic. Colored. There is… Bright. Looks like… Maybe, it’s a toy? The surface is smooth, but here are some projections. Finger sticks. Maybe it is… Some kind of dents… or… or it is letters… or just projections… Looks like a toy. Multicolored metal or plastic, painted metal. That’s it. Stop.  ~ Kobresia on Last.fm

Pretty trippy if you ask me. Enjoy!
