[00:01.49]When I was fifteen,
[00:03.48]sixteen when I really started to play the guitar,
[00:06.68]I definitely wanted to become a musician
[00:08.99]It was almost impossible because it was,
[00:12.24]the dream was so big
[00:13.98]that I didn't see any chance
[00:16.13]because I was living in a little town,
[00:17.99]was studying and
[00:19.66]when I finally broke away from school
[00:22.76]and became a musician I thought "well,
[00:26.54]now I may have a little bit of a chance,
[00:28.66]" because all I really wanted to do is music
[00:31.60]and not only play music but compose music
[00:34.15]
[00:35.63]At that time, in Germany,
[00:37.82]in '69-'70, they already had discotheques
[00:42.52]So I would take my car,
[00:44.13]would go to a discotheque
[00:46.19]and sing maybe 30 minutes
[00:50.44]I think I had about 7-8 songs
[00:53.50]I would partially sleep in the car
[00:57.06]because I didn't want to drive home
[00:59.25]and that helped me for about almost 2 years to survive
[01:05.86]In the beginning,
[01:09.41]I wanted to do an album with the sounds of the 50s,
[01:13.10]the sounds of the 60s,
[01:14.64]of the 70s and then have a sound of the future
[01:19.13]And I thought, "wait a second,
[01:21.38]I know the synthesizer,
[01:22.63]why don't I use the synthesizer which is the sound of the future"
[01:27.86]And I didn't have any idea what to do
[01:30.60]but I knew I needed a click
[01:32.47]so we put a click on the 24 track which
[01:35.22]then was synched to the Moog Modular
[01:38.54]I knew that it could be a sound of the future
[01:42.43]but I didn't realize how much impact would be
[01:45.21]
[01:47.52]My name is Giovanni Giorgio,
[01:49.40]but everybody calls me Giorgio
[01:51.77]
[04:59.45]You want to free your mind about a concept
[05:02.13]of harmony and of music being correct,
[05:06.81]you can do whatever you want
[05:08.29]So nobody told me what to do,
[05:11.51]and there was no preconception of what to do
[05:14.87]
