Patrick Moraz

I mean-

Well, I mean, you know, there's Patrick Moraz and-

...

The White Stripes or whatever

... or Patrick Moraz and Bill Bruford.

[laughs]

Is that how they played, facing each other? I never saw them live, so I couldn't-

Yeah, Relayer.

And, uh, I call it the Patrick Moraz album.

And, uh, rightly so.

And if you don't know what I'm saying, you'll find out-

... on, on keyboards? But he was not, he was, he wouldn't commit.

And so they said, "Well, we just can't wait for you to say a yes or no.

Like, we can't sit around for three months until you decide." So they went with, uh, a great, uh, Swiss keyboard player, Patrick Moraz, for this one album, uh, who would eventually, of course, play with The Moody Blues.

A lot of contention there.

And that's always been the case, but it's even more the case now.

just showed up like unexpected they just came to my house and brought this synthesizer because they thought that i would really like it and they were absolutely right they came in my mother was not happy because she wanted me to stay with the classical music but my friends just kind of came in the door with this thing and came to my bedroom and i think i turned the filter knob and maybe move some pitch control and i went oh my god this is unbelievable i all of a sudden i felt like the sounds and then were just going to a different part of my brain and so then i became obsessed you know i was listening to rick wakeman and patrick moraz and keith emerson and i had to have a minimoog i just had to have one so i bugged my parents you know repeatedly until one day i got one

Mm.

And that was on Yes's Relayer, um, tour when Rick had just left the band, ironically, and there was the Swiss keyboard player, Patrick Moraz, who was-

Oh, yes

... a lovely bloke and fantastic, fantastic playing on that, um, Relayer.

Director of photography is John Lindley, The Core, and the absolutely wonderful, fantastic Sneakers.

Music is Patrick Moraz, Salamander, The Wonderful Crook.

Ben, if you're interested, I would love to tell you something about Patrick Moraz if you are unaware with this person.

I am unaware of that person.

Patrick Moraz is a Swiss musician, film composer, songwriter, best known for his tenures as the keyboardist in the rock bands Yes and The Moody Blues.

Oh, shit.

That is the produ- the composer-

Yeah, and they were doing stuff while they-

Also, I mean, it is kind of that one unique thing in the Yes catalog, not just 'cause of Patrick Moraz, but the solo albums and the-

Yeah, that whole little zone

... that whole little thing.
