Zorch played at a number of 70's Free Festivals: Windsor '74, Meagan Fayre '75 and Stonehenge '74 & '75.
Zorch were the only band to record in Peter Zinovieff's EMS studio. In 1975 they used the Putney studio along with its EMS Synthi 100 to record the Ouroboros Suite. Some of this music was used as the sound track for the "Mother Earth" film with visuals created using the Spectron Video Synthesizer. Material from these sessions has now been remastered for CD release.
Zorch parted company in 1976. Basil went on to join the Steve Hillage Band and provided the live sound effects for The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy stage shows. Gwyo joined Skywhale and later moved to Germany to pursue his musical career with a number of bands. Gwyo returned to the UK in 2000 to join the reformed Gong line-up on keyboards and synthesizers.
In 2000 Zorch reformed and have since played a number of UK gigs including The Garage with Daevid Allen, Hackney Empire with Gong and Tribe of Frog in Bristol. In 2001 they played at Glastonbury Assembly Rooms and recorded a live album "Glastonbury Live" which is now available on CD.
In November 2006 Zorch played live at the Gong Unconvention in Amsterdam. More info at www.planetgong.co.uk.
Με λίγα λόγια μόλις σήμερα ανακάλυψα την ύπαρξή τους και κατάλαβα ότι οι γνώσεις μας για την Αγγλική ηλεκτρονική σκηνή της δεκαετίας του '70 είναι φτωχή. Ήδη προχωρώ στο κατέβασμα των δύο επίσημων δίσκων τους ''Ouroboros'' (1975) και '' Glastonbury Live'' (2001) ( από σλσκ φυσικά) και ανακαλύπτω γιά άλλη μιά φορά ότι ήταν εκεί όταν οι άλλοι μπουσουλούσαν ακόμα.
