disco music people
Disco is music for dancing, and I know that the people will always want to dance.
art worked
I wanted to get into art. I did some neon stuff. I worked in, not computer-generated, but computer manipulation of pictures.
arena breath diana few hill hundred incredible performance putting song sound test yards
One day. I was putting on a hill in Zurich, and a few hundred yards away, Diana Ross was doing a sound test at an arena for a performance that night of 'Take My Breath Away,' my song with her. That was a very nice game, an incredible feeling.
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.

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.

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.

What Skrillex does with Ableton it's like being a little god. It's not just pushing loops - that's easy - but to do the effects he's a genius.
player artist black
Disco does work better with black artists or players. They just feel it more.

I achieved something specially different with Love To Love You Baby and I Feel Love. These songs will endure.
art thinking too-much
I don't think there is too much art involved in what I do.

I have to admit, I do not listen to much rock music.

I would not be happy to do what I do unless I felt that the large audience wanted it.

I am certainly not racist; I even like the British.
