I don't think there is too much art involved in what I do.
From Giorgio Moroder
The disco sound, you must see, is not art or anything so serious.
Disco is music for dancing, and people will always want to dance.
Nowadays you need so much money to be able to launch a new artist, notably in America; you would hardly believe the sums involved.
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.
My music was typically continental - nothing like, say, The Beatles.
In pop or rock you can make a fast song or a slow one, but in disco there is really just the one rhythm.
I am much more happy doing what I know I can do than what I am not sure I could do.
Phil Ramone is very special. Barbra Streisand or Diana Ross... they are the best.
It is at least 10 times more difficult to get a good synthesiser sound than on an acoustic instrument.
