BIOSPHERE
GOES TO THE MOON
20 June 2004 |
 |
Biosphere’s
Geir Jenssen will release his new album, Autour De
La Lune, on Touch on 23 August. The project started
when Jenssen was commissioned a piece for the Radio France
festival in Montpellier last year. He was granted access
to the archive of Radio France, France’s national
radio network. He selected a 1960’s dramatisation
of Jules Verne’s nineteenth Century book De
La Terre A La Lune, in which he described a space
travel from Earth To the Moon, nearly a hundred years
before the US put a man on the Moon. For his record, which
is a prolongation of the original live performance, Jenssen
used excerpts of the dramatisation together with sounds
recorded at the MIR space station and incorporated them
into his music. For more information, check the Biosphere
and Touch
websites. |
