Ambient Soundscapes from the Arctic Circle

Geir Jenssen records music as Biosphere from his home deep inside the Arctic Circle. He creates haunting soundscapes by blending natural field recordings with eerie snippets from science fiction films.

Living in Tromsø, Norway, provides Jenssen with a frozen landscape that defines his signature ambient sound. His masterpiece, Substrata, is widely considered the greatest ambient album ever recorded. He masterfully weaves together mechanical loops and remote, icy atmospheres to transport listeners to the far north. His unique style has even led to him composing scores for several major films.
