[Giorgio Moroder]
When I was fifteen, sixteen
when I really started to play the guitar
I definately 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 every wanted to do is music
and not only play music
But compose music

At that time, in Germany, in 1969-70,
they already had discotheques
So I would take my car
would go to a discotheque, sing maybe 30 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 help me for about almost 2 years
to survive
In the beginning
I wanted to do an album with the sound of the 50s,
the sound 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 synch to the moog modular
I knew that it could be a sound of the future
but I didn’t realise 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
