Guitar maestro Steve Rothery of Marillion and electronic composer Thorsten Quaeschning of Tangerine Dream release their second single “Gentō,” the title track from their highly anticipated debut album ‘Gentō,’ out now on earMUSIC. 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 humanity’s enduring fascination with the moving image, unfolding like a film without pictures through soaring guitar themes and sequencer-driven passages rooted in Berlin School electronica. Elbow’s drummer Alex Reeves brings extraordinary rhythmic finesse and musical intuition that adds depth and subtle momentum throughout. The cinematic video was created by Jennifer Rothery. The name Bioscope comes from the Greek bios (life) and skopeein (to look), meaning “a view or survey of life” before cinema existed.

- Vanishing Point (Pt. 1, 2 & 3)
