Marillion – Meet The Band 2021 – Pete Trewavas

what a great player and a great guy 🙂

He is the most kind bass player Ever

You are such an awesome musician, and a really nice person. Keep up your beautiful work!

Love Pete, so underrated! Saw him recently with Transatlantic and I had forgotten how incredible he is live! He and Portnoy were insane together. Seeing the band next month for Marillion weekend in Montreal, can't wait!

He thinks exactly like I do. This is why I love him….

My fave bass player with Chris Squire. Love xxx Pete!

Pete is my favourite member

And here, kids, you learn how to speak the surname correctly, from the owner himself.

Hi pete I'm collin from Liverpool I truly think you are a legend man I love everything you guys wrote I wish I could of went to see you guys in concert me pete iv never been to a concert before ever I wish I could of gone to watch marillion in concerts your a true legend man stay safe man and thanks for all your great music take care of your selfs matey

Such a nice guy and his playing is so creative. Pete who? 😂

I always thought he looks like Bon Scott from AC/DC.

Would love to see a video on Petes pedalboard set up

Love your works, And I also think that the best two songs are TSE and Invisible man. Can hear these songs over and over. Take care, Gilbert Québec city

Nice tô hear that my hometown provided so many good memories to the guys of the band.

Nice one Pete. So chilled. You do a great job with the band. Keep it up mate!

This guy, how I love him!

The finger lights at Leicester was a magic moment for sure, it was so great seeing the surprise on all your faces 😀

Got to know Pete and Marillion for a short time in the 80`s nice guy. Has not changed much in 36 years

Agree with Pete about Marbles. My favourite also….

Had the honor of meeting and conversing with Pete on a progressive rock cruise a number of years ago. What a nice and humble guy in addition to being a killer bass player. Funny story though, at least to me, is when we first got onto the cruise ship before it even left the dock, I got myself an ice cream cone and as I was turning the corner I hear, "hey mate, where did you get that?" I looked up and it was Pete. What a way to start a cruise!

This is very interesting to see how it's all put together, thanks Mark!

Is that the Nord Electro 5?

Is there a set of sounds that could work – not exactly but near enough – to cover a wide range of possible songs on nights with a bunch of encores or where H rips up the setlist?

My favorite keyboardist from my favorite band!

Mark can you talk about the gear you used in the past?, and did you use a minimoog in the Punch and Judy intro? Thanxs a lot and blessings from Argentina

Pianotek is cool- bought that some time ago, the first plugin that really felt like a real piano to me, and it doesn't take a ton of memory to do it.

5:00: The thing is, Mark looks like he's eternally stuck in his early 40s. Only the hands seem to age.

Thanks for the explanations. I'm a little clearer now!

I think Mark is one of the most subtle keyboard players in rock, somebody who has somehow managed to just create the right textures that aren't just traditional instruments, but also usually don't get overbearing (like, say, Tony Banks after some point!). The only thing that bugs me at times is the over-reverbed piano sound as on White Paper or the remake of Hollow Man. Just sounds too new age and aseptically cold for my liking.

"Sounds that are really hard to reproduce in any other way."

Are you saying that keyboard plays sounds that can't be made?

Thanks, Mark! Have you thought of making a virtual clone of the Karma for live shows? MainSage and another app called SampleRobot can sample the sounds of hardware synths. The sampling process is automated on both.

Very thanks for showing.
Nice to see, that we do some in the same way.
I love the music from Marillion, thanks for all..

<3 Rebecca

Brilliant. Really interesting and brings you ever closer to me, a fan. Thanks Mark.
Now who down voted?….. Is you a steps fan or somethin?

Marillion Forever Forever Marillion

As a keyboard player, that is just starting a early Marillion tribute band, this is right up my street, after watching lots of hours on how you created different sounds on different synths, keep up the good work Mark, it would be nice to see how you play different songs, and the way you layer the patches

Thanks Mark 👍🏻 really interesting

Love ya Mark. Would've been great to actually hear some of the sounds from each keyboard/device. For instance the unique sound from the Korg you referenced for Neverland and Ocean Cloud. That would be cool to hear.

Just a truly honest and wise suggestion, shouldn't we have the 6th member joining in on the "don't forget to subscribe" ending sentence ?????

P S isnt it expenzive having keyboards in IRAQ

MARILLION NO 1 in the charts hopefully
