“There wasn’t any plan to make a certain kind of album. Everything was all created in the moment”: Steve Rothery and Thorsten Quaeschning found it easy to write Bioscope record Gentō, but less easy to finish it

Marillion's Steve Rothery and Tangerine Dream's Thorsten Quaeschning.

“I spoke to Thorsten after a Marillion show in Berlin on the F.E.A.R. tour in 2018, and we got on really well,” says guitarist Steve Rothery of his collaboration with Tangerine Dream’s Thorsten Quaeschning.

Gentō, released under the name Bioscope, is the resulting album, on sale now via earMusic. “We thought that it would be cool to try something together,” Rothery continues. “But nothing really happened until he played a solo show in London in 2020. He had a day off the next day, so we arranged for him and his roadie to bring his equipment up to [Marillion HQ] The Racket Club, and we jammed for the day.”
