Due to recent work commitments I’m only now posting the #playforChris4 video!
This year’s edition has been again a beautiful demonstration of affection for Our Hero, and yet again, with new original contributions, which show how Chris continues to inspire our souls. I hope you enjoy watching it!
My gratitude goes for all of those who have contributed with their dedication, and made this project happen again for one more year.
Also for those who expressed their will to join, but for many reasons could not do it this time, I thank you for your intentions, and I hope that in the next year’s edition you may be present!
Dear Friends, the 4th edition of “Play For Chris” is open to all who wish to join in a demonstration of thankfulness, remembering and celebrating the life and music of Chris Squire. Here’s how you can participate:
1 – Record a video of yourself singing or playing your instrument of choice, preferably something from Chris or Yes’ catalogue. Please act especially for this occasion. Do something now – in the Present – rather than using previously produced material – Play for Chris!
2 – Include a text message about your feelings for Chris, what his music means
to you. The text will be displayed along with your video.
If you don’t play or sing at all you may still participate by sending a video of yourself speaking, with a message stating your feelings for Chris.
Optionally you may send graphical content such as a drawing, painting or photo
composition about or dedicated to Chris.You can include the text message to be displayed along with the image.
3-Send your files to me (miguel@miguelbass.com) by the method you prefer, just let me know. The limit date is the 31st of May 2018. Please try to keep your contributions up to 90 seconds and allow me to edit them, if needed, in order to fit all contributions in one clip, and as evenly as possible.
Let’s keep celebrating Chris’ music here on earth and, as the name says, to keep playing for Chris!
Our friend Peter Saint-Andre (a.k.a.stpeter) has made several arrangements of Yessongs for solo bass, some of them are available in standard notation at his site. Here’s the link for this and other of Peter’s musical (a)ventures.
Hello everyone, although I’m still busier than usual with my professional activities, I managed to make this new video to celebrate Chris’ 70th Birthday. I hope you enjoy it, and celebrate together the music of our hero!
Thank you to all of those who have written me and shown me your support during these last times!
Dear Friends, in the next months I will have to focus on my PhD thesis, so I will put a hold on the videos, although I’m getting a lot of inspiring suggestions from you, and a few ideas of my own! Likewise the online lessons will be temporarily suspended. Only as soon as I am done with my professional/scholar duties I’ll be able to resume with the main musical activities, to keep them at a level that I’m happy with – and hopefully you too. I’ll keep posting, as always, whenever I find something worth to share with you.
And here it is, the 3rd edition of “Play For Chris”!
Once again, I wish to thank all the participants who have made another strong demonstration of love for Chris Squire. There is a wide range of players from all around the world, covering different songs, different instruments, making this year’s edition really special and, the most important, sounding out Chris’ spirit.
