I will never forget meeting him at the Mira Festival in Barcelona. He took me backstage, signed my records, bought me a beer and showed me pictures of his children. What a great guy and an awesome musician.
"Here in this desert, it's just the same thing over and over again" - sample from a 1953 radio broadcasted play called "The Petrified Forest". The voice belongs to Joan Lorring. This radio broadcast is available on UA-cam. "Black mesa...how intriguing..." etc - voice belongs to Leslie Howard from a 1936 movie "The Petrified Forest" Biosphere created a true masterpiece.
There is a kind of vulnerable, resigned softness in the woman's voice that I cannot recall ever hearing before in my lifetime. What a wonderful work of art this is.
I come here for the same thing, Over and over again. I suppose i am looking for something to believe in. Worth living for or dying for. And i've come this far on my journey... Black Mesa.
Its not possible to describe this songs emotional valence. It seems to kind of exist all on its own with this singular, dream-like quality that defies categorization; i think thats what makes music good, that it can defy the part of us that needs to categorize every experience.
Does anyone know where this is sampled from? The man's voice is sampled from a movie called 'The Petrified Forest' but I can't find the the source of the woman's voice.
I really don't remember when was the last time a song touched my heart so deeply. --I'm old enough. I think I'm a good listener and I little music maker!
@@Jeremiah7-ox2nj I’ve never been able to find the show or movie it’s from. According to Bleep, it’s from an episode of The Twilight Zone. According to her Wikipedia page she’s never been in The Twilight Zone, but was in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock presents which would be the closest thing. The episode is called “The Older Sister”. It’s on UA-cam but she never says this line from what I saw of it.
@@Jeremiah7-ox2nj according to another comment on here, the sample is from a radio performance she did. If you look at her Wikipedia page there are a good few radio appearances listed. It must be one of them, perhaps from one of the CBS radio mystery theatre episodes. They are also on UA-cam I think.
This track transitions takes you into a mesmerizing Journey. The beat retreats, leaving behind a delicate interplay of ethereal soundscapes and whispered vocal samples. The whole vibe invites listeners to reflect on their own emotions, Problems, deep deep deep memories and creating a sense of vulnerability and connection within your real self , thank you sir .
I thought that mr.Biosphere was making "the same thing over and over again" with his ambient albums, but I was wrong. This EP is damn good and I will check his other records more precisely from now on.
Jednoduché, ale dokonalé. Evokuje spoustu myšlenek, pocitů. Mám dojem, že se při poslechu dokážu vnořit do svých nejhlubších zákoutí mozku a vnímat tu hudbu, nevím, snad šestým smyslem...
Superb work, Geir, congratulations! I'm now addicted to it. Also, the film has a most witty script, and Leslie's performance couldn't be better. I look forward to listening to the forthcoming album.
Do yourself in enormous favor and buy the source remake. It’s called “black Mesa” by Crow bar interactive and it is one of the best remakes of any game I’ve ever played. A marvelous labor of love.
The film with Leslie Howard was 'Petrified Forest', not sure how Joan Lorring ended up in the music vid as it is Bette Davis in the film. Fantastic bit of music though, TY Biosphere.
Joan Lorring was only 10 years old when "The Petrified Forrest" was filmed. Her line comes from a 1953 radio drama. It was sampled with scenes and dialogue from the 1936 movie.
I am really enjoying this tune, particularly the snippets from old movies woven in. What stands out to me is the sound; it has a nostalgic quality that reminds me of Orbital and the music from the 90s. Overall, I think this is a fantastic track

on a 3 monthly basis for sure

There might be a day where i realize that i haven't listened to this song for a long time, but that time is definitely not now

@@kolliolliword!
Here in this desert of post-ideology… Black Mesa.
I woke up from a weird dream and this song was the best way to get back to this dimension without leaving the dream yet.

One of the best tracks ever made in the history of music. Simple as that.
This ist the Stuff we call DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Biosphere at his best, the samples and the music work so well together.
Just basically everything I love about electronic music condensed into 3 and a half minutes.
Same ❤
I could listen to this same song over and over again
I listened to this on repeat while travelling across the outback in Australia.
Masterpiece: Musical mantra of the finest kind that keeps perfect balance between footage, samples and sound.
Sampling in the track, sampling in the music video. Love it!
I am overjoyed that Geir Jenssen (Biosphere) is still at the top of his game. This track and accompanying video are brilliant.
"Here in this desert it's just the same thing over and over again"
This song + this line = Burning man
Does anyone know where this is sampled from? The man's voice is sampled from a movie called 'The Petrified Forest' but I can't find the the source of the woman's voice.
@@davidberman4335 I'm not sure. I just watched it and swear I didn't hear it anywhere. Maybe it was Bette Davis in the trailer?
The fact that the words describe the repeated use of the quote in the song itself "the same thing over and over again" very trippy
Most iconic lyric
I can happily die listening this over and over again ❤
Same!
"here in this desert..." we need more music like Black Mesa - over and over again....
I really don't remember when was the last time a song touched my heart so deeply. --I'm old enough. I think I'm a good listener and I little music maker!
We are the music makers. We are the dreamer of dreams
This is perfection. It should say "featuring Joan Lorring and a tumble weed".
Except that the actress is Bette Davis. Joan Lorring was not in this film.
@@spacerumsfeldvideos That’s true, however the vocal sample is the voice of Joan Lorring.
@@bassbytes What was this sample of Joan Lorring saying those words taken from??

Played in Rome on his gig of past summer, 2nd July 2016... amazing!
we were thirty, maybe?
Whoever made this song is definitely a highly trained professional

hypnotic - minimalist masterpiece 👾
This is great to dance to slow solo, perhaps in shades.
It's like my dreams, a painted scene.
Over and over again...
what a brilliant track, what a brilliant video
Great track, good film too!

Absolute perfection
can never go wrong w/ Biosphere. thx for everything.
Melancholy and happines.
Here is this song it’s just the saame beat over and over again.
It was worth the effort to download and watch the movie
Have you ever dreamt. This desert reminds me of a dream I once or twice had.
soundtrack of my winters blues
Loop this for eternity
Awsome album
This track just made my day, Amazing.
When I fist time heard about Biosphere, was in 19997. This guy from Tromsoe (Norway) is just brilliant.
Beautiful sounds (as always) from Biosphere
Fantastic, I have just bought the 7 inch single of this, and I will buy the new Lp on Vinyl and Cd, Thank you for getting me hooked, great music.
This is simply amazing.
Great song! Single has been pre-ordered :-)
The Petrified Forest (1936)
Came for this! Thank you!

epic desert from the cold north!!
Hell Yeah! - Especially with 'Black Mesa' as a title... Add to the fact I'm playing the Xen section of Black Mesa on PC atm! 😉
Ok, that track is brutal on vinyl! Well done, Guys, great work 💪
in Australia, we can thank SBS Chill radio for having this on their playlist.
worth living for , dying for ..
This really is class
stunning
Lovely
Love this..
Superb work, Geir, congratulations! I'm now addicted to it. Also, the film has a most witty script, and Leslie's performance couldn't be better. I look forward to listening to the forthcoming album.
Thanx for adding the Video .. can't wait to buy the album 21.April
anyone else getting Half Life cravings, while listening?!! :P
ZMeleron Gaming+ on summer sale get HL, and now i think, that song should be an good main theme.

Yes
@@MattSmith-rr2he Agreed...
Recently started playing Black Mesa this year and it brought me here
This is pure Art, ambient music is real in our Hearts and dream in our minds. God bless you!
Biosphere is really, really good at using samples. Like really fucking good. This is like his "We Are The Music Makers".
LOVE IT.....THANKS!
wonderful
This is a great convertible top down song.
This is so prolific. Geir is a champion.
This is divine...thank you ..
Somehow that's deep and magical... Masterpiece!

Lockdown 2020, Australia.
Keep your spirits up. much love from a blighted UK.
E' arrivato il vinile, non smetto di ascoltarlo!Grazie
You have to watch the movie. The petrified forest. 1936. That dull creepy tone was carried over nicely in black Mesa. Just wow!
brutal
Holy sh*t, so unexpected after the style of last LP
There's such a surreal phantasmagoric vibe to this track, feels like exploring the outer boundaries of your emotional spectrum, absolute masterpiece!
Auto Replay....
Comatose luck by xploding plastix is an excellent song that also used audio from this film
Can this song be implanted into my brain? Any thoughts, brain neurosurgeons?

yes, but prepare for unforeseen consequences
I like this a lot
Подскажите что за кино. Пересмотрел бы. А музыка просто уносит и завлекает, невозможно остановиться
Sencillamente perfecto!
quick save over and over again XD

It's way too short.
Everytime I listen at least five times ;)
It's a 7".......Record that is.jus listen "over and over again".
@@maskelibalon yep, that's me too. I've already listened about 6 times today and now I'm back again!
I could listen to this on repeat for a hour or so. Pleasantly hypnotic.
Way too short Mr. Jenssen! Way too perfect, but way too short....
Nice 🙂
Just got the 7"welcome to the 500 club........
