When I was 15th, 16th, when I really started to play 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, may be eight 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 sound of the 50s, the sound of the 60s, of the 70s and then have a sound of the future.
And I sad
- 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 the impact would be.
My name is Giovanni Giorgio.
But everybody calls me Giorgio.
