Giorgio By Moroder
(专辑: Random Access Memories - 2013)
When I
was fifteen, sixteen, when I
started really 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. I
was studying and when I
finally broke away from school and became musician. I
thought "Well, I
may have a
bit of a
chance." Because all I
ever wanted to do is music but 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 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 impact it 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.
