Widely regarded as one of Norwegian electronic music's most important artists, Geir Jenssen aka Biosphere's career spans nearly two decades, several albums, various sound installations, commissions, soundtracks, lots of remixes and even the odd Himalayan summit. You may recognise his work without knowing it, so frequently does it crop up on TV trailers and idents. Since his days as a pioneer of ambient music in the early 1990s, he has refined his sound into something more magnetic and enduring, something with an appeal that reaches far beyond the cerebral electronica set.
His new album 'Dropsonde' (Touch Recordings - released March 20th 2006) isn't a soundtrack like the interwoven 'Substrata' nor an episodic journey in the way that 'Autour de la Lune' is. Here Geir Jenssen is pushing new directions towards the jazz colours of Miles Davis and Jon Hassell, whilst re-invigorating the pulse and projection of his signature sound: a hypnotic combination of pleasure and dread.
Cologne-based artist Egbert Mittelstaedt's videos, photographs and installations explore the principle of time and have won him awards including at the European Media Art Festival, the Institut National de l’Audiovisuel, the Backup Festival and a Digital New Art Award. His image processing makes it possible to show movement not as we know, but in a slowly sliding, continuous float of patterns, structures and courses. His "Slit-Scan" method neglects the constants of space: movement is stretched and pulled out of shape while still remaining recognisable and time puts herself in concrete terms. His cooperation with Biosphere developed spontaneously at a Biosphere concert and a simultaneous presentation of his video work in Cologne. The two artists have appeared together since the end of 2004. Mittelstädts visuals work in stunning harmony with Biosphere's music, creating a remarkable synthesis of video art show and music concert.

This was absolutely superb!!!! Caught the Brixton show on Saturday - the music of Biosphere always astounds me in its beauty and wonder...and with the added video work by EGBERT MITTELSTAEDT which complemented the music perfectly.......transported me into some kind of dreamlike abstract consciousness....mesmerising!!!! Anyone else see any of the shows and felt the same way? Liked to here your thoughts!!! Nice one Nova for organising the event...

Yes, that was a quite extraordinary experience, all the events were really successful (some technical problems sometimes but nothing serious) and it was a pleasure and honour to work closely with Geir and Egbert, two outstanding artists and persons.
Here is a review for the show in Notting Hill, I will post some pictures soon!
