Listen "Jukebox #43 HIA/Biosphere - Cimmerian Shaft"
Episode Synopsis
Jukebox LS edition: Tromso, 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 Tromso, 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 Tromso, in a cabin reached by the cable car, in which the audience were transported up the mountain in turn.First release: 1996 on Beyond, limited edition 5000 pieces. Reissue: 2003 on Headphone. The Jukebox plays with kind permission of (HIA) Bobby Bird (that's so cool!!!!) the opening track 'Cimmerian Shaft' which sets the tone for this album, a musthave in your ambient collection. Probably one of the best releases ever in the genre: Polar Sequences.Artist: Higher Intelligence Agency + BiosphereTrack: Cimmerian ShaftAlbum: Polar Sequences
