NewsBioscope / Gentō
New project from Marillion’s Steve Rothery and Tangerine Dream’s Thorsten Quaeschning
“A Perfect Match Between Progressive Rock and Ambient”, Bioscope is a collaboration between Marillion’s Steve Rothery and Tangerine Dream musical director Thorsten Quaeschning
Bioscope is a new collaborative project from guitarist Steve Rothery, founding member of Marillion and from electronic visionary Thorsten Quaeschning, musical director of Tangerine Dream (and soundtrack guru). Their debut album Gentō will be issued in August.
The album is named after the Japanese term for “magic lantern”, a still-image projection system. Each of the five instrumental tracks takes its inspiration from man’s endearing fascination with the moving image, weaving together Rothery’s emotive, melodic guitar work with Quaeschning’s expansive soundscapes.
The resulting music is described as a “mesmerising journey through light and darkness, memory and imagination”. Elbow’s drummer Alex Reeves contributes to all tracks.
Gentō is available on vinyl and as a CD+Blu-ray digi-pak with the latter featuring the full album in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround and hi-res stereo.
Gentō is released on 22 August 2025 via earMUSIC. If you’re interested you can support SDE by pre-ordering the CD+blu-ray from the SDE shop using this link or the button below.
