Polar Sequences [Remastered]

by HIA & Biosphere

supported by

Mamaxabras The voice recordings in this album, the cover, the overall soundscape gives the impression and description of a polar expedition. The sound effects have a cold and fine ring to them, instantly painting an image of icycles, droplets and frozenscapes. Favorite track: Snapshot Survey.

The Vision Reels Probably up there with one of the best electronic / ambient albums of all time. texturally top draw and emotionally inspiring ... no words can describe how good this album really is Favorite track: Corona.

about

Recorded live in Tromsø, Northern Norway, October 1995.

Tromsø, 70 degrees north, in the Arctic region, in the middle of the most active northern lights zone. In summer time, land of the midnight sun. In winter, total darkness.

In October 1995, as part of the annual Polar Music Festival, Geir Jenssen of Biosphere and Bobby Bird of The Higher Intelligence Agency, were commissioned by Nor Concerts to collaborate together on a musical project to take place in Geir's home town of Tromsø, Norway. The brief was for them to perform three concerts, using sounds sourced from the area as the basis of the music - the machinery of the local mountain cable lift, the snow, the ice etc…

The performances from which this recording is taken, took place on top of a mountain above Tromsø, in a cabin reached by the cable car, in which the audience were transported up the mountain in turn.

The Fires Of Ork

This album is probably the most striking thing that has ever happened to me musically. I still can't get used to the richness and unpredictability of the sound, it keeps me surprised after so many listenings. The voice sample in the title track is especially noteworthy. First, I couldn't fully discern the words. But one day I saw the iconic film the sample is taken from — and it was mind-bending to realize that I'm hearing that very phrase. The album is so special and unique to me. HermannHermine
