"When I was 15, 16, when I really started to play guitar, I definitely wanted to become a musician. At 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 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. Ao I would take my car, would go to a discotheque, 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 helped me for about almost 2 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. Bnd 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 the click on the 24 track, which then was synced to the moog module. I knew that could be a sound of the future. but I didn't realize how much the impact would be."
"My name is giovanni giorgio, but everybody calls me 'giorgio'."
(Epic stuff for awhile)
"Once you free your mind about a concept of harmony and of 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."
