Ended Wednesday and welcomed Thursday after a swim with Dropsonde is an ambient album by musician Biosphere (alias Geir Jenssen) released in 2006. Unlike his previous output, the album has a notable jazz influence.
The title refers to a dropsonde, a device designed to be dropped at altitude by parachute to collect data as the device falls to the ground (on Earth or sent to another planet.)
Unlike Jenssen's previous output, there is a notable jazz influence present on this album (such as on the tracks "Birds Fly By Flapping Their Wings" and "In Triple Time"), evocative of Miles Davis's 1970s jazz fusion works. Some tracks also integrate material Jenssen recorded in late 2001 during his climbing of the 8,201 meters mount Cho Oyu in Himalaya. (The raw material itself was released some months later as Cho Oyu 8201m – Field Recordings from Tibet.) - Wikipedia
