Shenzhou is an album by ambient musician Biosphere released on June 3, 2002. The structure and sound of this album are drastically minimalistic in comparison with Geir Jenssen's previous work, a concept that would be further elaborated upon in the next album. Samples are taken from several of Claude Debussy's orchestral works, particularly La Mer and Rondes de printemps (from Images pour orchestre). The album's name, "Shenzhou", aside from being the name of the Chinese manned-spaceflight vehicles, means magic vessel.
