Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 I musician I thought "well I may have a bit of a chance" Because all I every wanted to do is music but not only play music But compose music At that time, in Germany, in 1969-70, they already had discotheques So I would take my car and go to a discotheque and 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 help me for about almost 2 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 was then synch to the moog modular I knew that it could be a sound of the future But I didn't realize how much impact it would be My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio You want to 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
