April 1st 2005.......Inside us we have a horse; it obeys orders from outside. And our mind is too weak to do anything inside. Even if the mind gives the order to stop, nothing will stop inside…first of all you must realise that you are not you. . .you are the horse…
G.I. Gurdjieff

Disobedient drums and grimacing overdriven Guitars meander and stutter undisciplined through the sprawling, contemplative, free-flow GURZUNZ compositions. Dreamy distorted sustain. Floods of tangled pulsing discord peppered with mongrel percussion. Moody, jarring, drifting, intriguing, depressing, uplifting, bile inducing, ecstatic noose tightening noise dirt.
Why this name?
A tribute to the late great Michael Gerzon (1945-1996) The Audio industry lost a major contributor to the future of audio recording and reproduction when Michael passed away. His 121 published papers cover a wide variety of subjects - most, but not all, concerned with audio - and his contribution to the art and science of recording and reproduction is major and truly innovative.
A warm, generous man with a great passion for music. Sorely missed.
STOP PRESS....To mark the tenth anniversary of his death in April 2006, the much awaited biography of Michael Gerzon's life will be published.
Written by Robert Charles Alexander and entitled 'Michael Gerzon - Beyond Psychoacoustics' (ISBN 0-9748438-2-2) it defines the nature of a man whose true greatness, influence and achievements may well not be fully recognized until well into the 21st Century.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's good that the 5-dimensional people who live deep in the Forest of Skirt Yimph can now download ripsnorting GURZUNZ mp3 tunes.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Band History:
Mick Clack and Dale Marshall have played in and out of bands in the Oxford area for the past 150 years or so. eg The Earwigs, Bodily Functions, Cabasa, Flat Hill House Band, Yelford Allstars, The Dwoms, Kites A-Z, The Worried Men, The Blake and A Blake, Frank Fish and the Fins, Wheatfields, Nige and Trev to name but twelve.

Anything else...?
We're going to build two big sculptures on the GURZUNZ back lawn. The first one is the word
‘FLEXIBILITY’ made out of really rigid material. The second one is the word ‘RIGID’
which, naturally, will be constructed from a highly flexible medium. We've also got plans for a 40 foot high display of the word ‘INVISIBLE’ which will be positioned somewhere where everybody can see it.
