Report BariBoyB's Profile

When I was fifteen, sixteen, when I really started to play guitar, I definitely wanted to become a musician. It was almost impossible because the dream was so big that I didn't see any chance because I was living in a little town. At first I was studying and when I finally broke away from school and became a musician I thought, "Well, now I may have a little bit of a chance" Because all I really wanted to do is music. And not only play music, but compose music. At that time, in Germany, in '69, '70, they had already discotheques. So, I would take my car, would go to a discotheque, Sing maybe thirty minutes. I think I had about seven, eight songs. I would partially sleep in the car because I didn't want to drive home and that helped me for about almost two years to survive in the beginning. I wanted to do an album with the sounds of the '50s, the sounds 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 then was synced to the Moog Modular. I knew that could be a sound of the future, but I didn't realize how much the impact would be. Once you 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.
