Geir Aule Jenssen, who records as Biosphere, is a Norwegian electronic musician and composer whose ambient and ambient house work draws on Arctic and mountain settings. Born on 30 May 1962, he lives in Tromsø, within the Arctic Circle, a location closely associated with the spacious, cold-weather atmosphere of much of his music.

Biosphere's recordings make frequent use of loops and unusual samples, including material drawn from science fiction and natural sources. Working across ambient, drone, electronic and experimental forms, Jenssen has also used the names Bleep, Cosmic Explorer, E-Man and Levi.

His 1997 album Substrata was voted the best all-time classic ambient album by users of the Hyperreal.org website in 2001. Beyond his work as Biosphere, Jenssen has composed several film scores.
