Giorgio Moroder And Others Talk Donna Summer & Giorgio’s 10 Big Music Moments: Interview

10. “Giorgio By Moroder” by Daft Punk (2013) “My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio.” By now, those words, spoken by the 73-year-old music pioneer on “Giorgio By Moroder,” have become etched into the minds of Daft Punk fans and longtime followers of Moroder’s brand of electro-pop, despite the fact that DP’s Random Access Memories won’t technically be released until May 21.

By entering a studio with Thomas and Guy-Manuel and speaking into a microphone for several minutes about his work, Giorgio’s life has come full circle, and the producer who initially found mainstream success by helping shape Donna Summer’s sound almost 40 years ago is now experiencing a full-on renaissance.

“When I heard ‘Giorgio By Moroder’ first, I was absolutely, positively surprised, because I did not know what to expect,” Moroder says of Daft Punk’s epic track. “I love the recording.”

As for what’s next for Giorgio, this week we’ve already heard “Racer,” a new track he produced for Google Chrome’s same-titled game. “I have a ton of projects,” he adds. “DJing, composing and producing music. Maybe [I’ll] do my own album.”

Finally, Moroder ponders, “Maybe I’m working too much?”
