Virgil & Steve Howe release new music video for ‘Plexus’
VIRGIL & STEVE HOWE have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Plexus, is taken from the project’s upcoming second album Lunar Mist, which sees legendary YES guitarist Steve Howe collaborating with his late son Virgil, who tragically passed away in 2017. The album is scheduled to be released later this month via InsideOut Music.
Watch the official video for Plexus here:
Crafted using Virgil’s unreleased material that had a connection in spirit to their debut collaboration Nexus, Steve compiled everything together in January 2021 to start work. Stemming from an unreleased bonus track, titled Lunar Mist, from their debut album, Steve worked at expanding on Virgil’s musical ideas. As Steve explains, “I started by writing chord charts for all the other tunes, before adding guitars and bass guitars to embellish them and bring them to completion. In the most part I kept them as he’d written them but sometimes I expanded them with further ideas and improvisation.”
Steve adds, “Virgil shows some different musical characteristics here that were such a joy to play on. There’s more of his great drumming and a broader inventiveness in his compositions.”
