Bioscope

Bioscope is the highly anticipated collaborative project from guitar maestro Steve 
Rothery (Marillion) and electronic composer Thorsten Quaeschning (Tangerine 
Dream).

Their debut album Gentō, out on 22 August 2025 on earMUSIC, offers a deeply 
atmospheric journey where two distinct musical worlds converge. The album 
features an extraordinary performance by Elbow’s drummer Alex Reeves, whose 
rhythmic finesse and musical intuition bring depth and subtle momentum to the 
entire album.

The project began in early 2020 and gradually developed through focused five-day 
sessions in Berlin and at Rothery’s home studio in Southwest England. Each of the 
five instrumental tracks draws inspiration from man's endearing fascination with 
the moving image. From soaring guitar themes that recall the best of progressive 
rock to sequencer-driven passages rooted in Berlin School electronica, the music 
unfolds like a film without images – immersive, dreamlike, and full of detail. Each 
track reflects a shared sensibility shaped by decades of musical exploration.
