Swiss keyboardist known for virtuosic, synth- and piano-led solo work; author of the solo album The Story of I and associated with the 1970s progressive rock scene.

The Story of I was recorded largely in Geneva with additional sessions in Brazil; Moraz is noted for whirlwind keyboard playing that blends progressive rock, jazz and world-music influences. The provided review is by Pibroch on DeBaser.

Pibroch's review of Patrick Moraz's The Story of I praises his unmistakable keyboard virtuosity while criticizing the frequent Brazilian/carnival percussion and uneven material. Standout moments include melodic tracks like "Best Years Of Our Lives" and instrumental highlights such as "Descent" and "Symphony In The Space." The review describes the album as a heterogeneous but unified solo statement recorded in Geneva with sessions in Brazil. Overall a mixed but affectionate assessment.
