The Story of I

, commonly known as The Story of I, is the first solo album by Swiss keyboard player Patrick Moraz, released in April 1976.

It is a concept album centering on a building which people enter and ascend to fulfill their dreams, dying when they reach the top.

Those who enter the tower are faced with increasingly difficult challenges as they ascend, and their emotions and experiences are broadcast for the entertainment of those who remain outside the building.

Moraz received the inspiration for the album's concept while riding an elevator in a newly-built hotel in the United States.

They also made special note of Andy Newmark's drumming and the strong variety of instruments, and concluded, "The Story of I is a refreshing twist from this progressive craftsman and can sincerely be appreciated by all audiences.

"[6] As explained by the liner notes, the album is broken up into 14 tracks for the listener to more easily follow along with the concept, but consists of a single song.
