O glorioso desenterro de Giorgio Moroder.

When I was fifteen, sixteen, when I really started to play guitar,
I definitely wanted to become a musician.
It was almost impossible because 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 litle bit of a chance."
Because all I ever wanted to do was music and not only play music but compose music.

At that time, in Germany, in 69-70, they had already discotheques.
So I would take my car and 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 sound 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 then was synced to the moog modular.
I knew that it could be a sound of the future but I didn't realize how much the impact 
would be.

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

Once you want to free your mind about a concept of harmony and 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.
