Picture Palace Music - ReVision (2014)

The electronic post-rock ensemble Picture Palace music is the brainchild of the Berlin-based musician, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Thorsten Quaeschning - who is most renowned for his work with Edgar Froeses legendary Tangerine Dream. At its start-up in 2003, it produced innovative compositions for classical silent movies, which are marked by a mix of moving melodies, guitar-laden soundscapes, and modern noise elements. By doing so, the band embraced the extraordinary challenges and potential that todays technological evolutions can bring to musical creativity.

These productions for film were worked out as live-sets and subsequently laid down in three studio records: Natatorium (2009), Midsummer (2010), and Indulge the Passion (2012), which all proved to be successful. Picture Palace music became a four-time Schallwelle-Award winner and headlined the highly acclaimed E-Live-festival in Oirschot (The Netherlands) in 2010 and 2012, as well as the Kostrinella-festival in Kostrzyn nad Odra (Poland) in 2010.

Since then, the band has continued to work on film music for English and German television. This resulted in the soundtracks Remnants (2013) for a BBC-documentary about the Neolithic civilization of Britain, and Letters from Libya (2014), written for a road movie about Libya after Gaddafi.

2014 sees Picture Palace music on the road again with a new album, titled Unpredictable ConSequences. While touring all over Germany, the band will also feature as supporting act for Alan Parsons Live Project.
