"...Argeïphontes Lyre, a super abstract program." he also used this program in album, The Senja Recordings.

In booklet of The Senja Recordings [Track 7], he wrote that he used FB-01 [with OSCar]

In booklet of The Senja Recordings [Track 14], he wrote that he used MetaSynth [with ARP Odyssey].

In a YouTube video by GForce Software, the OSCar Synthesizer, produced by the Oxford Synthesiser Company between 1983 and 1985, is highlighted as part of Biosphere's gear. Renowned for its innovative features and MIDI capability, this synthesizer remains a significant piece of musical history.

In the article, Geir Jenssen is quoted as saying: "My two favorite instruments in the ’90s were the samplers from Akai: S950 followed by S3000. I could use these almost blindly. The lowpass filter on the S950 is so unique that I acquired another S950 on the used market this week. The filters are the most important part of all the instruments for me. I have read a lot about filters lately and found out that Roland SH-5, an analog synth from 1975, should have the best lowpass filter ever. So when this came up for sale on the second-hand market here in Norway recently, I just had to purchase it. Roland has also recreated the SH-5 filter in the Eurorack module SYS-505. That’s why I’ve also invested in Roland’s System 500 Complete Set, a Eurorack version of System 100M from the ’70s. So even though I do not fully master these instruments yet, the SH-5 and System 500 are my favorite instruments at the moment. Otherwise, I just have to say that I can not work with many of the new instruments that have a lot of LEDs. It looks ugly and destroys concentration. System 500 and SH-5 are perfect in that respect and remind me of my old Sony shortwave radio from the ’70s."

In the source article, Geir Jenssen (Biosphere) is quoted as saying: "As an archaeology student, I managed to save some money because I took part in several archaeological excavations in northern Norway during summertime. In 1983-84 I had a quite impressive collection of gear: Roland TR-808 drum machine, TR-606 Drumatix, TB-303 Bassline, MC-202 sequencer, SH-101 synthesizer, Korg Poly-61 synthesizer, and a Teac 4-track tape recorder. Many of these items are worth a fortune today, but I sold all of them only two years later to buy the Yamaha CX-5M Music Computer with a built-in FM-synth! I still have it 35 years later, and it still works!"
