Biosphere is the main recording name of Geir Jenssen (born 1962), a Norwegian musician who has released a notable catalogue of ambient and electronic music. He is well known for his 'ambient techno' and 'arctic ambient' styles, his use of music loops and particular samples from sci-fi sources. His track 'Novelty Waves' was used for the 1995 campaign of Levi's. His 1997 album 'Substrata' was voted by www.hyperreal.org as one of the all time classic ambient albums.

Biosphere regularly performs live during electronic music festivals and in clubs throughout Europe and various other locales around the world. Live performances usually consist of Jenssen performing improvisations or variations on newer tracks on a laptop while video art is projected behind him. In 2008 Jenssen announced a year-long break from touring due to his reported hatred of 'airports, security checks, unhealthy food, air conditioning, hotels, etc.' However he resumes concert activity in 2009....
Today's Jukebox track is the first track we ever heard from Biosphere. We go back to 1992... it's the timeless 'Microgravity' with many thanks to 'Origo Sound'.
