Annotation

Recorded live in Tromsø, Northern Norway, October 1995.

"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...
taken from one unedited live performance. Polar Sequences 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."
