POLAR
SEQUENCES GETS LONG-AWAITED RE-RELEASE
8 September 2003 |
 |
The
excellent collaboration between Bobby Bird, aka Higher
Intelligence Agency, and Biosphere’s
Geir Jenssen, Polar
Sequences, is finally getting re-released on
Bird’s Headphone Records. Originally released as
a limited edition on Beyond back in 1996, the album was
recorded in October 1995 during the Polar Music Festival
in Jenssen’s hometown, Tromso. The collaboration
between Bird and Jenssen was commissioned by Nor Concerts,
and the pair performed three live performances on top
of a mountain, only accessible via cable car, using only
sounds sourced from the area as a basis for their music.
Polar Sequences was followed by a second
collaboration between Bird and Jenssen, this time based
in Bird’s Birmingham, collected on the equally seminal
Birmingham
Frequencies, released four years later. For more
information on both albums, check the Headphone
website. |
