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 RU-vid. "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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 RU-vid 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 RU-vid 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 .
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.
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...
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
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.
