art worked
I wanted to get into art. I did some neon stuff. I worked in, not computer-generated, but computer manipulation of pictures.

I had an idea for a technologically advanced luxury watch. I got involved in digital art and neon painting and put on shows of my work.
player artist black
Disco does work better with black artists or players. They just feel it more.
art thinking too-much
I don't think there is too much art involved in what I do.
art paper serious
Too many of these writers in the music papers, they are misunderstanding everything. The disco sound is not art or anything so serious.

Nowadays you need so much money to be able to launch a new artist, notably in America; you would hardly believe the sums involved.
art sound serious
The disco sound, you must see, is not art or anything so serious.
alert google great hear influenced listen music people rather seeing stuff supposed time
I set a Google Alert for myself, and now I'm seeing people say my music influenced them and how great it is all the time. Sometimes I listen to this stuff that's supposed to be influenced by me, and I can't hear myself in it. But I'd rather they say it than not.
disco music people
Disco is music for dancing, and I know that the people will always want to dance.
almost daft great hits punk sing sounds unless
Unless you use the vocoder the way Daft Punk use it, it is very limited. When they sing it's almost human. It sounds sexy. I just used it as an effect. It wasn't because I was not able to sing; I'm not a great singer, but I had some hits as a singer, too. It's a nice effect.
best disco great guitarists guys hit melody modern song
That big hit 'Get Lucky' is a disco song - not only the melody and the whole concept, but we had one of the great disco guys and one of the best guitarists ever, Nile Rodgers, to play on it. So that's great disco, but a modern disco, because it has great vocoders and synthesizers.

Now, the DJ becomes a star in itself because of the way he programs the songs with lows and then highs and then slowing it down. The big DJs, like Tiesto and Deadmau5 and all those guys, they are very, very creative.
agree composer director god great love saw sounds soundtrack surprised
In film, I was surprised when I first saw the movie 'Drive.' I said, 'Oh, God. It sounds great - I love it. Wow, this could be the soundtrack from 'American Gigolo' or 'Cat People.' But I'm surprised that the director would agree with a composer to write that kind of sound.
check great people rarely reactions studio time
I was in Studio 54 one time; it was great. But I'm not a discotheque guy. Sometimes, if I had a new demo, I went to some discotheques to check it out - see how the reactions of the people were. But just to dance, I rarely did that.
