"Conversations with Noteworthy Guitarists from around the World"

Season 8 kicks off with a melodic legend! 🎸

In this premiere episode of The Guitar Hang Podcast Season 8, Jon Stankorb sits down with Marillion’s Steve Rothery for an in-depth conversation about his brand new project Bioscope, a collaboration with Thorsten Quaeschning of Tangerine Dream.

The duo’s debut album, Gentō’, is set for release later this summer via earMusic, with signed CD pre-orders available now through Marillion’s Racket label. Steve also shares how Elbow’s Alex Reeves brought fantastic drum performances to the album, and what it was like mastering the project at the legendary Abbey Road Studios.

Steve opens up about Marillion’s ongoing Weekend live events across Europe and North America and gives us a glimpse into the band’s plans for a new studio album, which fans can expect in 2026.

If you’re into soaring melodic lines, lush atmospheres, and authentic, veteran guitar wisdom — you don’t want to miss this episode.
