#playforChris7

Finally, #playforChris7 – is ready! Feel free to share it with your friends or communities.

This year we celebrate the Winter Solstice with Play For Chris 7!

There is also a new format that includes Words For Chris, where fans express themselves by words, memories and feelings about Chris.

Thank you to my Patrons for supporting me financially, for believing that what I do is worth it. Thank you to all my friends who encouraged me and shown me excitement in seeing the final result, as I was describing what I wanted to do.

Also thank you for subscribing to my YouTube channel!

We’ve made it again, something different but always special!

I See You

Remembering Chris Squire, six years upon his passing, I have made a cover video of “I See You”, from Yes’ debut album. This video was a suggestion from my dear Patron Doran Cox, who has especially supported this video by becoming a Super Bass Patron. I am also pleased to announce that there will be a follow-up bass-only version of this video!

If you would like to support my musical activities or even suggest a new video, please visit my Patreon page!

As always, thank you to all my Patrons! And… thank you for watching!

Play For Chris 9 – Open Call

Play for Chris 9 is the ninth edition of the worldwide tribute to Chris Squire.

Here is where you may express your desire to collaborate!

This year we maintain the original format of the first 5 editions where you can play along whichever song you choose. Please record a video within 30 and 90 seconds which I may arrange for the final edit. Please send by JUNE 10, 2023 the latest.

Send your video to me via a web service such as Dropbox, Wetransfer or Google Drive.

Remember that Play For Chris is not limited to bass players. You may enter with whatever instrument you wish, or sing!

Because it has been brought to my awareness that there are many of Chris Squire fans who do not play any instrument or sing and they would like to collectively express their feelings, along with their fellow musician fans, you may do so by recording a video testimony, speaking about your feelings for Chris. You may use any language as long as we can arrange a translation for subtitles.

Just fill in the form to join the project and I will keep you updated with what you will need to make your collaboration! CLICK HERE Play for Chris 9

Going For The One – isolated bass

Here is the isolated bass version of my recent cover of Going For The One. Now you can hear the mighty Ranney in all its glory! Chris played it originally on his Rickenbacker 8-string prototype, he would later perform it live (in later tours) with his own Ranney.

Going For The One

Remembering Chris Squire’s 75th birthday, here is one of my favourite bass lines of Chris’, played on the mighty 8-string Ranney bass. Although Chris played it originally on his Rickenbacker 8-string prototype, he would later perform it live (in later tours) with his own Ranney.

To The Moment

To The Moment – one of the beautiful songs rescued by Oliver Wakeman from the period before “Fly From Here”. Chris used the Ranney 8-String bass and I am so fortunate to be able to play it on the almost very same bass!

Montreux’s Theme (Rickenbacker) – isolated bass

Here is the Rickenbacker version of Montreux’s Theme, originally recorded in 2014.

There is another version on the Fender Jazz Bass, from which I will make an isolated version soon!

Play For Chris 8

Thank you so much to all of you present on the premiere of #playforchris8 and for the warmest reception and comments about this year’s edition. Of course thank you to all participants who made this edition, celebrating Chris and Alan and gave their best efforts and feelings expressed in their words and music. I hope you enjoy this year’s edition!

Koprivshtitsa festival 2022 – part 3

This is the 3rd edit of my recordings at the Koprivshtitsa festival of Bulgarian Folklore Art.

Besides vocal and instrumental ensembles with traditional dances and costumes, another genre of performance typical of the Bulgarian folklore is humour. What today would be called of “stand-up comedy” is, in fact, part of the authentic Bulgarian traditions. Although I am not able to understand enough of Bulgarian, I have recorded some of the humoresque performances.
