Geir Jenssen aka Biosphere >> "Early February 2011: Decided to make an album inspired by the Japanese post-war economic miracle. While searching for more information I found an old photo of the Mihama nuclear plant. The fact that this futuristic-looking plant was situated in such a beautiful spot so close to the sea made me curious. Are they safe when it comes to earthquakes and tsunamis? Further reading revealed that many of these plants are situated in earthquake-prone areas, some of them are even located next to shores that had been hit in the past by tsunamis.

A photo of Mihama made me narrow down my focus only to Japanese nuclear plants. I wanted to make a soundtrack to some of them, concentrating on the architecture, design and localizations, but also questioning the potential radiation danger (a cooling system being destroyed by a landslide or earthquake, etc). As the head of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said: "the plants were so well designed that 'such a situation is practically impossible'.

The album was finished on February 13th. On March 17th I received the following message from a Facebook friend: 'Geir, some time ago you asked people for a photo of a Japanese nuclear powerplant. Is this going to be the sleeve of your new coming album? But more importantly: how did you actually predict the future? Kind regards, David."

Volim Biosphere, nekad sam jako često slušao dva albuma: Patashnik i Substrata (koji mi je nekako hipnotično depresivan ali svejedno neodoljiv). Ovo mi zvuči ok skroz na prvu loptu, drugačije ali sa nekim šmekom koji prepoznajem od ranije.

[pawwa]

Takođe sam slušao Substrata. Postoji nešto tajanstveno u tom albumu što mi se dopada, ali moram da priznam da ga nikada nisam do kraja zavoleo, tako da mu ipak ne odajem veliko poštovanje koje Biosphere inače uživa.

Od stvari koje si postavila, Genkai-1 baš ima neki šmek, ali rekao bih da su druge dve manje privlačne od onih sa Substrata. Nekako su mi jednostavne i što mi smeta posebno - bez neke zanimljive fabule.

Ubićeš me?

Na stalkerovu preporuku slusala sam i Patashnik i Substrata, ima neceg finog i u jednom i drugom, ali mi se cini da su mi potrebna jos neka slusanja da bih usla dublje u atmosferu. Nekako, ni jedan od ova tri nije prouzrokovao nivo odusevljenja koji sam ocekivala na osnovu preporuka i "znanstva". Npr kada smo u ambijentalnom zanru, dosta mladji "36" stalno izbacuje nesto sto me lepo pomera.

Ubićeš me?

Noup, navikla sam se na vas :*

Genkai-1 krade album, u njemu se najvise olicava ono polu-hladno i distopijsko. Jao znam da smaram sa ovim epitetima, ali sta cu kad se lozim na takvo nesto
