=head1 DESCRIPTION
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
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, 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 didn't want to drive home and that help me for about almost two
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 then was
synched 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.
