Giovanni Giorgio Moroder -- The Pioneer of Electronic Dance Music 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 the dream was so big I didnt 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, 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 69-70, they had already discotheques So, I would take my car, would go to a discotheque and sing maybe 30 minutes. I think I had about seven, eight songs. I would partially sleep in the car because I didnt 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 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 dont I use the synthesizer which is the sound of the future? And I didnt 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 synched to the Moog Modular. I knew that it could be a sound of the future but I didnt realise how much the impact 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
