advanced art digital involved luxury shows work
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.
art worked
I wanted to get into art. I did some neon stuff. I worked in, not computer-generated, but computer manipulation of pictures.
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.
believe artist america
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.
deal national offer somebody wrote
When I'm dead, somebody can write my biography. I wrote a national hymn, an anthem, which I don't want to present to that country. But I have a deal with my wife - when I'm dead, she should offer it, because then I'm safe.
car close crash economic eight involved sold sports
I was involved with a sports car called Cizeta-Moroder, which was the first 16-cylinder car, beautiful. I think we sold about eight cars, and then in '92 the economic crash came, and we had to close the shop.
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.
almost amazing beautiful great group key listen maybe sounds
I listen to the group Disclosure; they have great sounds. Maybe not as adventurous as Skrillex. I think the key thing is to have those beautiful sounds... the amazing sounds of Skrillex are almost phenomenal.
album exactly great knows love stuff time using
I had an album out at exactly the same time as 'Love to Love You' called 'Einzelganger,' and it's great, all electronic. I'm using a vocoder, doing all this cut-up stuff on there, but no one knows about it.
eventually guy relatively sound tv
In the early '80s, my sound - especially that mysterious kind of synthesized sound that was used so much - every relatively cheap TV show eventually had it because it's not expensive. It's just one guy doing the whole soundtrack. So it was overdone.
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.
