Biosphere - Hyperborea

[clrrchrd]

Some music helps you get to sleep. This, and the rest of Substrata, is INSIDE sleep.

[artenoise3]

bravo!!!!!!!!!!

one of the founding fathers of ambient/ trip hop.

qué super HarryChang ;)

[MrParlo90]

selv om jeg selv ikke er norsk, så er jeg stolt over Norge for at de har en kar som geir

[MrJackswan]

this song seems to represent what I feel like when I'm speeding down the highway, wantonly breaking all the traffic laws, and tossing my head back and laughing

[MrJackswan]

Hmm.

[Salivia2009]

XXXXX ^.~

[friesenge1st]

some good music?

[Voitzify]

Never has music done such and impression on me.

[BurningEffect]

Russia is Hyperborea 

[winstonmisha]

even though this sounds so dark and depressive it has an uplifting effect on me : o

[iiAngelic]

i'm lucky to know music like this

[Kaiptumanepavadinai]

Wonderful, thank you Biosphere for incredible sounds.

[myironlungca]

What an incredible video

[Sirandoral]

@deepsilver7 no... i asked "how is the SONG Called...I was talking about a song i remeber... and "we had a dream last night, ..." is a part of the lyrics. but someone already had answered it...

[blackflagisbetter]

smoke weed

[emptyhighways]

Does anyone know where the amazing spoken word sample is from in this track?

[stevenvenn]

Twin Peaks. Major Briggs explaining a dream.

[emptyhighways]

@stevenvenn - Thank you. I really need to finally sit down and watch that legendary series.

[liberteus]

@emptyhighways

it comes from twin peaks.

[blitzitup]

This reminds me dystopian lanscapes, new world order and the cloning of humans.

Some of my favorite other acts who do dark cryptic tunes well are most likely Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Coil, How To Destroy Angles, DJ Krush, Gary Numan, Massive Attack, Amon Tobin,Throbbing Gristle, AllFlaws

[texasB666]

@blitzitup Nice taste dude :) Check out Faap de Oaid by Tool. Scary fucking shit! Perhaps also Sunn O))) Aethenor, Lustmord, Clara Rockmore, Nurse With Wound, The Orb, Orbital, Shpongle, Ott, Solar Fields, Global Communication, Tricky, Burial, Boards of Canada etc.... the list goes on and on and on...

[Sirandoral]

how is the song called where two girls sing "we had a dream last night, we had the same dream"

[akkadII]

@Sirandoral is called Phantasm on the album Patashnik

[petemk1966]

@Sirandoral had a dream last night'' we had the same dream is off the movieTHE KRAYS! when they're just kids.

[DarthKnightmare]

@Sirandoral oH MY God dude I was gonna tell you what album it was from and then I saw you posted it, so I started listening to the song and after watching this, I nearly had a heart attack, I had throw of my headphones and glasses at my monitor and go lay down on my bed, Holy fuck I almost died! Did I mention Im MeGa high off spice?

[Actar411]

I have to say, Ambient music is really good for writing novels. When I was working on this year's NaNoWriMo I listened to BlueMars. It really is Inspirational. Space Travel Radio. Good stuff.

[rinolope]

flawless victory.

[LEXUSCLASS]

for weak minded people this can really hypnotize you for the rest it just relax you

[texasB666]

a month ago, me and my buddy were smokin some outstanding weed late at night and i remember i was getting tired. My friend was watching the movie 'The Thing' and i was lying on the other side of the bed and Biosphere was playing on the background. I fel asleep and had such wonderful visions :) i was reallllly high though :) i was in some weird beautful place where all these UFO's were hovering and the people weren't really surprized. it was like we all knew.. Something like that :)

[mientje6]

Very deep..... Geir is a genius!

[Polyfusia]

You're a very talented person, Akkad. I had a look at your My Single Novel project and found that it was along the lines of an idea I already had. A novel or story half based in fact, with music on every page, so that people could hear what I was hearing when I wrote what I wrote.

I run a blog myself. It is called Acrocosm. I think you would appreciate the music I have chosen to put there.

If you're interested in collaborating creatively, contact me.

[wertaslopey8]

Fuck I'm too high for this!

[grindcorenl]

nice music !! i go on a mushroom trip this weekend in some ancient underground limestone quarrys ,biosphere makes perfect songs to trip on :)

[DarthKnightmare]

@grindcorenl I tripped with Biosphere and Solar Fields playing it will blow your mind. both amazing artists.

[PlurVision]

i just herd of bioshere what type of music is this?? its completely different puts you in a trans

[DarthKnightmare]

@PlurVision I opened the door to the realm of ambient music a couple years back, it has changed the entire way I look at music and life. Try out Solar Fields, Carbon Based lifeforms, The Fahrenheit Project, Aes DAna, Proem, Vibrasphere, Ulrich Schnauss and or Sounds from the Ground.

[rusk1992]

@PlurVision

its called ambient music,

checkout boards of canada, they're pretty good too

[psiPeople]

akkadll,,, I thank you 4 uploading this soundscape.......I really apreciate the work you did with the images-sounds-emotions-feeling­s-intention.....I enjoyed very much....this is what I call art,,, not what the "experts" want us to believe is art.

[akkadII]

@psiPeople Thanks for your kind words. Probably each one of us could be a fantastic artist if we were able to express our feelings. And the difference between a career artist and occasional artist is that the second one doesn't work on under any pressure (either time, artistic influences or other requirements), but his own feelings, which is more expressive I think.

[MosesHightower]

@psiPeople - lol. well said and very true. totally agree about the "experts". true art has lifeforce. it can be felt and doesn't need a dissertation to explain what the hell it is and why purely intellectualized conceptualism should be revered. this is an awesome video to an all-time fav ambient track. captures very well some of the inherent imagery of the music.

[Rossco242]

Major Briggs!!!!

[noah77226]

i was watching twin peaks in 1990

[Drogynn]

Isn't that the voice of James T Kirk? Looks like it lol.

[borvo7]

amazing the moon image this acording with the music very fine!

[Skorfly]

ahh the speech is from Twin Peaks

[musicalmindcontrol]

Love the atmosphere : )

[elekd]

amazing piece of music, it's re-activated my interest in ambient music. time to dig up my Fires Of Ork discs

[haribo687]

ladies and gentlemen.... I am floating through space

[DMTCorporation]

I recommend getting the double CD 'Substrata/Man with a Movie Camera' (2001) if you can find it...because then you get the track 'Endurium' too. There's also a 2009 live CD too, entitled 'Wireless.'

[82wolfik]

17.07.2010 Gorlice, Poland!! The XII edition of Ambient -Biosphere !!!!!!!!!!!

[leaq]

great video although the spinning flora interrupted my concentration a bit

[boosuff]

This is a trippy song...Unfortunately YT doesn't quite give it justice with the sound compression. This genre of music relies heavily on the sound quality to appreciate the full spectral array of sounds and textures. Still, Thanks for posting

[morpheus1x]

A fine example of hyper-consciousness!

[TheseAreMyHooves]

Oh my god, Biosphere are so boring.. Boards of Canada are just genius cos its actually musical, but this is just noise. Noise is nice sometimes but this just bores the hell outa me...

[AFXisgreat]

You're missing the point mate.

[TheseAreMyHooves]

Yer ur probably right.

[m4lvolio]

Maybe Britney Spears is more akin to your taste.

[Entity1490]

Well, that's a pity. Music like this tends to stimulate one's creative glands, and if you had the patience to sense beyond the droning, recurring tones you'd be surprised how well this might augment your creativity. However, if you do not seek this kind of music for inspiration, then I suggest you go find something slightly more unambiguous.

[TheseAreMyHooves]

whatevs..

[silicon43]

@Entity1490 haha well said

[lordoid]

It's easier to get into something with melodies, traditional occidental tonescales or a defined drumbeat. But music without that ingredients isn't less musical. It's just another concept of creating music. The music of Biosphere is often constantly moving and standing still at the same time (more like a snapshot) while Boards of Canada's tracks are more "song orientated" if that makes sense.

[whatshendrix]

That's like saying - drinking water doesn't make me any less hungry, therefore water is useless ;)

[organisenoise]

to cormac123456789 you might like lord am i going down by mokira

[organisenoise]

love this!

[Cormac123456789]

Anyone no anyother ambient choons like this?

[potentialrandom]

Check out Loscil. Maybe To Rococo Rot and Tarwater too.

[LeTravisty]

Yeah, I actually got some Brian Eno. Thanks for suggestions.

[LeTravisty]

I need to put together some playlists for my massage therapy class. I need some relaxing stuff. I am already using Carbon Based Lifeforms *World Of Sleepers* & Aphex Twin * Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2* If you guys have any suggestions I would really like to hear them. Thanks.

[philagee]

Burial, Synkro

[Flab0b]

Brian Eno... nuff said...

[simigala]

Global Communication, Kruder & Dorfmeister, Peace Orchestra, Tosca and try to find "Space Night" broadcast on the German TV station "Bayern3" it is very good music. A lot of fun :-)

[Azeur]

You could check out the album "Where Stalks The Sandman", it's ambient music by several artists. Quite good.

[auschwitzu]

music festival sept 09-13/09

biosphere,faust,arvo part,fennesz,mum,808 state.

[nightpowder]

i love biosphere

[Lifesucksdie123]

the mind revealing itself to itself.

[silicon43]

search "the major's vision" on youtube

[LionelCharlet]

No moon for men, before earth get more justice and SILENCE. Thank you BIOSPHERE

[olhayesie]

This music is mind blowing. It takes me on an imaginary voyage through space.

[kukubau77]

Biosphere - The things I tell you voices are taken also from Twin Peaks

[Bodvar73]

I think he talks about The White Lodge (Twin Peaks)

[Loyalbrox]

The more I watch it the more I am tempted to think that this could have been part of the "Lord of the Rings" film music, there's monumental "mystique" in this...

[Loyalbrox]

"The Fields of the Nephilim" & "Biosphere" are predestined to record an album - on David Gilmour's houseboat !

[akkadII]

that's interesting and good news. Can you give more details ?

[Loyalbrox]

üm pare räu

Sorry to disappoint you, "predestined" means that it would be their fate - soartă - , it does not mean that they have actually agreed to do it.

It is more a wish on my part that they would team up cause each of these artists is an outstanding, if not blessed talent - in my humble opinion...

[zebonaut]

Hmmmm...could be a different Biosphere´-project?..

[TheStellarMaster]

@Loyalbrox

REALLY?

[miffomannen]

I've seen Twin Peaks like a hundred times and I am 100 % sure that the dialogue is taken from Twin Peaks. Geir Jenssen is not talking, it is the actor Don S. David (Major Garland Briggs) talking to Dana Ashbrook (his son Bobby) at the RR Diner.

[akkadII]

Could you tell in which exactly episode is this scene ? I had confusing information about this.

[miffomannen]

Season 2, episode 1.

[jimmysherriff]

Really! I've listened to this album a six or seven times and I thought it sounded like William Shatner as Captain Kirk. Thanks for putting my curiousity at rest!

[PiotrekJezu]

You're right, you can find this scene on youtube, just type "the major's vision" :D

BTW: It's not the only quote from twin peaks on substrata

[jedwards1211]

@miffomannen

I second that, I recognized it immediately.

[Arxfatal1985]

magical

[tempsdetruittout]

Are those vocals from Twin Peaks?

[akkadII]

The voice belongs to Geir Jenssen from Biosphere. The text is from a scene from Twin Peaks.

[staataat]

Really? Jenssen speaks with a strong norwegian accent and in the scene the actor speaks in exactly the same way as in the tune :o...

[akkadII]

"The lyrics in this song are quotes from Twin Peaks, Episode 9 (2002) 'Coma' during a conversation between Major Briggs (played by Don S. Davis) and his son Bobby in the diner over huckleberry pie. The lines in brackets were part of the dialogue on the show but were not heard on the Biosphere track." This doesn't explain anything, but Jenssen could be accused of copyright issues.

[glovarm]

I think it's the sound from Twin Peaks. It's too similiar.

[hislate]

Also try Pete Namlook...superb!

"ORIGO"

[rockorsario]

amazing

[Parthoris]

An ambient classic...masterpiece.

[nebret]

hey guys and gals im new to ambient music could you reccomend some organic/nature artists for shrooming

[Phonolith303]

try future sound of london.

it works :)

How about Goa?

[polarsequence]

Listen to some of the old Orb albums, such as Oxbow Lakes or Ultraworld, or early Aphex Twin. Harold Budd is also excellent and can send you drifting :)

[Sektion9]

Boards of Canada, Ulrich Schnauss, Casino Vs. Japan , M83 , Air, Higher Intelligence Agency & all of Global Communication's stuff.

[TheAmbientNetwork]

not quite ambient

[platinumdynamite]

nebret, get Aphex Twin- Ambient Works Vol.1

[croscream]

@nebret

A personal favorite of mine is the Dutch ambient artist Boudewijn de Groot, you can find him here on youtube.

[Eye2Kino]

Luna & Gaia inspire an emotional/spiritual response.

nicely done atmospherics.

thanks!

[necropseed]

g r e a t

[XIONASPROS]

Great sound and video!I like this genre

[bizarreoutsider]

Trippy, otherwordly music and beautiful images.
