Including his transformative and unusual instrumental music with The Utopia Strong, the rich, complex output of his own octet, Knifeworld, or fronting the legendary Gong at Daevid Allen’s request, taking the psychedelic stalwarts into incendiary and ecstatic new realms with four studio albums and counting, not to mention his involvement and contributions to Cardiacs, Guapo and The Holy Family.

However, it is as a solo artist he weaves all the strands of his idiosyncratic vision together. Fusing the celestial with the human, the joyful with the melancholy, blending the autobiographical with the metaphysical.

Over his albums Hip To The Jag (2020), The Banishing (2024) and the forthcoming album (released Autumn 2026), Torabi has crafted a shimmering, singular and otherworldly realm of exquisite songwriting and poetic lyricism. Heartbreaking songs of love, loss, mortality of optimism and regret. A multi-instrumentalist, Torabi’s charismatic presence and haunting voice is accompanied by guitar, harmonium and synthesiser, each performance an immersive, transformative and ritualistic experience.
