Patrick Moraz
Future Memories Live on TV

Swiss born Patrick Moraz is probably best known in rock music circles as the man who was to play a major part in two of the world's biggest rock bands. Patrick was with Yes recording the album Relayer and touring extensively with the band between 1974 and 1976. Following this stint with Yes he would go on to play with another legendary band the Moody Blues. Patrick stayed with the Moody Blues between the years 1978 and 1991 touring the world extensively and contributing to a number of successful albums.

Patrick has also been a member of the progressive rock band Mainhorse forming the band with bassist Jean Ristori in 1969 and releasing one self titled album in 1970. Following that his next port of call would be Refugee where he joined forces with two former members of the Nice. This band also released one critically acclaimed self titled album before Patrick left to join Yes.

Patrick's career however would it seem be pre ordained. As a child Patrick would have been considered a musical prodigy and whilst he became adept at a number of instruments it was the piano where Patrick excelled to the extent that he was named "Best Young Soloist" at the prestigious Zurich Jazz festival in 1961. Similar awards came Patrick's way in 1963 and 1965 which led him to performing with some of the great jazz artists of the time including the legendary John Coltrane at various European jazz festivals.

By the time of the release Patrick's debut solo album in early 1976 Patrick was firmly installed as the keyboard player in Yes. Following the release of Relayer all the members of Yes embarked on solo projects thus ensuring that The Story Of I received maximum coverage in the music press.

Following the release of this album Patrick returned to touring duties with Yes before leaving during the sessions for the follow up album to Relayer.

Patrick then released his second solo album in 1977(Out In The Sun) before joining with the Moody Blues a partnership that lasted until 1991. During this time and beyond Patrick has recorded and released a number of solo and collaborative albums including works with another former member of Yes drummer Bill Bruford.

Future Memories Live On TV was at the time considered a brave experiment. The music was performed live for a Swiss television programme and recorded directly to tape as the programme was broadcast. At one point you can even hear the television cameras moving around Patrick as he performs and in the spirit of the performance the camera and the noise generated become part of the performance.

Future Memories II followed five years after the initial Future Memories Live on TV album and the album sourced from the video performance is highly regarded by the Patrick Moraz fan base. The performance this time however as well as introducing the upgrade in keyboard technology also finds Patrick getting into the spirit of the performance by dressing up in costume for a number of the pieces. This performance was also selected to be the official Swiss Nomination in Switzerland's Golden Rose/Montreux Festival in 1984.

In addition to the two complete performances there is also bonus footage of Patrick filmed in November 2006 discussing the two shows and talking of the possibility of a Third Future Memories performance!
