Текст Daft Punk – Giorgio By Moroder

When I was fifteen, sixteen, when I really started to play guitar, I definitely wanted to become a musician.

It 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, was studying.

And when I finally broke away from school and became 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, sing maybe thirty 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 two 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. 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 synced to the Moog modular. I knew that it 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.

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.
