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.
