The electronic post-rock ensemble Picture Palace music is the brainchild of the Berlin-based musician, composer and producer Thorsten Quaeschning - who is most renowned as Musical Director and long time member of 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 three-time Schallwelle-Award winner for best electronic musical act and headlined the highly acclaimed E-Live-festival in Oirschot (The Netherlands) as well as the Kostrinella-festival in Kostrzyn nad Odra (Poland). Since then, the band has continued to work on film music for American, English and German television and movie-scores. This resulted in the soundtracks "Remnants" for a BBC-documentary about the Neolithic civilization of Britain, "Letters from Libya", written for a road movie about Libya after Gaddafi and "Cargo" a Thriller by James Dylan.
