2. my name is giovanni giorgio but everybody calls me giorgio

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 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 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 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
