"Polar Sequences," the 1996 masterpiece of natural-science field-recording electronic ambient created in collaboration with The Higher Intelligence Agency (HIA) by Geir Jenssen, aka BIOSPHERE — the Norwegian ambient genius known for his many classics on the esteemed sound label Touch — has been remastered and reissued on his own label BIOPHON. Repressed for the first time in six years! Back in stock after a long absence.
A grand sonic drama built from field recordings of the frigid environments around northern Norway where BIOSPHERE lives — cable cars, mountaintop huts and more — with those sounds electronically processed into raw material. Alongside a vivid sense of presence, imaginary soundscapes and electronics are constructed as a downtempo ambient document. A formidable, dreamy and melancholic masterpiece in which the harshness, gentleness and beauty of nature coexist. Mastering handled by Scape boss Stefan Betke. Released on his own BIOPHON. Recommended. Check out the tracklist too.
