BIOSCOPE is a collaborative project from Thorsten Quaeschning, musical director of TANGERINE DREAM, and guitar maestro Steve Rothery, founding member of Prog-Rock legend MARILLION.

MARILLION has sold millions of albums worldwide and helped define the sound of Progressive Rock with chart-topping records. Thorsten Quaeschning is credited on over 100 album releases, and as well as being a member of the legendary TANGERINE DREAM he is also known for his acclaimed work on major film and game soundtracks.

The word ‘BIOSCOPE’ comes from the Greek 'bios’ meaning life and ‘skopeein’ meaning to look; prior to the invention of cinema, it meant ‘a view or survey of life’ - And that’s what Bioscope is about.

This first album to emerge from the BIOSCOPE project is called ‘Gento’, named after the Japanese term for “magic lantern”, a still-image projection system. It started life in early 2020 and after several five-day trips to Berlin over the years, and a few days in Steve Rothery’s home studio, it was finally ready to be mixed and mastered. Each of the five instrumental tracks takes its inspiration from man's endearing fascination with the moving image. They weave together Rothery’s emotive, melodic guitar work with Quaeschning’s expansive soundscapes, creating a mesmerizing journey through light and darkness, memory and imagination.

‘Gento’ also features an amazing performance by ELBOW’s drummer Alex Reeves. With soaring guitar solos that evoke classic Progressive Rock to hypnotic sequencer-driven passages reminiscent of Berlin School electronica, the album flows like a soundtrack to an unmade film.

‘Gento’ is also available as a Heavyweight Black Vinyl Double LP in a Gatefold Sleeve - Stock # 2207107

‘Gento’ is released on 22nd August 2025.
