Giorgio by Moroder

When I was fifteen, sixteen, when I really started to play the guitar.

I definitely wanted to become a musician.

It was almost impossible because it was, the dream was so big that

I didn't see any chance because I was living in a little town,

was studying and when I finally broke away from school and became a musician.

I thought "Well, now I may have a little bit of a chance."

Because all I really wanted to do is music and not only play music but compose music.

At that time, in Germany, in 1969-70, they had already discotheques

So I would take my car, would go to a discotheque, sing maybe thirty minutes

I think I had about 7-8 songs.

I would partially sleep in the car because I didn't want to drive home

and that helped me for about almost two years to survive.

In the beginning,

I wanted to do an album with the sounds of the 50s,

the sounds of the 60s, of the 70s,

and then have a sound of the future. And I said:"Wait a second,

I know the synthesizer, why don't I use the synthesizer?",

which is the sounds of the future.

And I didn't have any idea what to do

but I knew I needed a click so we put a click on the 24 track

which was then synced to the moog modular.

I knew that could be a sound of the future

but I didn't realize how much impact it would be.

My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio.

Once you free your mind about a concept of harmony and of music being correct,

you can do whatever you want.

So nobody told me what to do and there was no preconception of what to do.
