Giorgio Moroder brought a very European aesthetic to black American dance grooves. Although Italian by upbringing, Moroder did most of his work in Munich and the influence of Düsseldorf’s Kraftwerk can be heard in his work for Donna Summer, which includes two of the ultimate disco anthems, “I Feel Love” and “Love to Love You Baby.”
In his 2013 Red Bull Music Academy lecture, he discusses his earliest recordings, his favourite synthesizers, working with Donna Summer, and more.

__________________________
This was motorik music: spacious, trippy, ever-lasting, far removed from the relentless bounce of most disco. He was also a supreme composer of soundtracks, scoring an unlikely success with “The Chase,” the theme from Midnight Express. His footprints are all over British synth-pop, from Pet Shop Boys to New Order to Human League- and it was with the latter’s Phil Oakey that he got his biggest self-credited hit, “Together In Electric Dreams” in 1984.

The part he told how he builded the song "i feel love" give me goosebumps, it is without doubt the best Discotrack ever made! Even the delay wasn't recorded perfectly as planned ;) 56:57 Just to know that he is responsible for the complete music track (And Keith Forsey for the base drum!) makes him a Disco-god, I am lucky I met him a few times backstage!

Living legend of electronic pop music who has influenced a lot of musicians! So pity they did not speak about Cat People soundtrack (which featured David Bowie, by the way) or mentioned Giorgio's collaboration with Joe Esposito, Phil Oakey, The Sparks (No.1 in heaven). The interviewer is well prepared but the DJ-ing sucks not for the first time - pauses hang or glimpses of a wrong track which spoil the interview's rhythm.

I don't get how Kraftwerk influenced 1977's "I Feel Love", as much as I adore their music? For me it's the other way around, it looks like 1978's "The Man Machine" heavily sequenced and precise sound is a bit of a Moroder rip-off imo.

Finally watched this and as expected, completely fascinating. It's difficult to watch these Red Bull series interviews because the interviewer is straight up awful. "...I guess that's what they call funk?" Seriously?!!🤦🏽‍♂Cringe many times (the Trevor Horn one was straight up disrespectful) but bypass that into the greatness of the stories from these heroes and they are complete gems. Giorgio is one of modern music's most incredible treasures. Period.

After all these years I was expecting improved and sassier comments about that muncherflodger. But I am wrong. What a shame. Madre foca. With Impunity, that's what this is. He's still walking, asking questions, impersonating mentally challenged people. Approved by my cousin, not sure if it's proper but he approved the intention of it. 8 years after,I still want to slap him, gently, but making the point we have all of us in our heads.

Nope, he's italian and he was born in a part of the country where people speak Italian, German and Ladino. You're confusing Judaeo-Spanish ladino with the Ladino language spoken in part of North-Eastern Italy, which has nothing to do with either Jews or Spanish beyond being, like Spanish, a Romance language, a property they share with French, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian.

Red Bull Music Academy; At the 6:27 Mr. Moroder says "Well, no simplicity is great; complexity is great too." I would like to record that quote on my phone and load it into Protools and use it for the opening of a song I'm working on called War Angel. The introduction is a choir on a Yamaha MODX 8 and sound like the introduction to Tom's Diner by Mr. Moroder. My lawyers haven't contacted you for a request because I don't have any, and worldwide maybe 23 people will hear the song since no one really ever goes to my channel. Thank you, in advance, because I kinda already did it. Tell you what, when I'm done I'll send it to you and maybe you can use it. I'm not looking for money, just for someone to tell me they like what they hear. People tell me that all the time and I think it sounds good but I could be lying to myself and they might just be acting nice.
