Giorgio By 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 the dream was so big

I didn't see any chance

Because I was living in a little town, I was studying

And when I finally broke away from school

And became a musician, I thought

Well, I may have a bit of a chance

Because all I every wanted to do is music

But 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 and go to a discotheque

And 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 a 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 was then 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 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
