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


Their second single Gentō is out today and is the title track of debut album Gentō, that will be released on 22nd August 2025 on earMUSIC. As for the rest of the album, it 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 release is accompanied by a cinematic video, created by Jennifer Rothery.

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.


Gentō will become available in retail stores as a CD+Blu-ray Digipak, including the full album in High-Res, Dolby Atmos as well as Dolby 5.1 Surround Mix, and Heavyweight Black 2LP Gatefold.   Pre-order the album Gentō HERE

Bioscope are Steve Rothery, founding member and guitarist of Marillion, whose melodic playing helped define the sound of modern progressive rock and led to millions of records sold and Thorsten Quaeschning, musical director of Tangerine Dream, credited on over 80 releases and internationally known for his work on film and game soundtracks, real-time composition, and electronic music innovation. Together, they bring decades of musical experience to a project that feels both intimate and expansive. Rothery’s guitar lines speak with emotional clarity, while Quaeschning's detailed sound design shapes the music’s internal architecture. Their collaboration is not just a fusion of styles, but a thoughtful dialogue between two established musical identities - a true bioscope - in the sense of offering a view of life through music.
