- Recording the classic E=MC2 album in the studio, with co-producer Harold Faltermeyer. They claim it was the first-known "Live to digital" album ever made. The synthesizer is a Roland System 700 driven by the Roland MC Microcomposer. The Vocoder is the Moog/Bode design, driving the Polymoog Keyboard.
Sound of the future
bro put the click on the 24 track
I feel love (donna summer) sound very actual ! very easy to mixe with modern techno music !
A click. We needed a click
It's still the sound of the future
@@TheIndustrialRetrospective im from 1977 , imagine a child in early 80s listening this ? ( and watching star wars ) ! , no Personal computer no smartphone but electronic futurist music ! i remember was so fear with tracks like "space lab" from Kraftwerk or another "somebody's watchin me" from Rockwell and , for sure "midnight express" from mister giorgio !
the way he says synthesizer is a gift from heaven
His whole accent is priceless!
Born in the very north of Italy (where they speak with almost an austrian accent), raised in Germany, worked in America, that’s it.

That guy with curly blond hair is the young Harold Faltermeyer, who started working with Moroder and later wrote movie themes like Axel F., Fletch, Top Gun Anthem. Legends on this video!
And he lives 2 miles away from my village - eastside of Munich. 😁
@@danceattaxx Wow!
@Magnus Sage nobody cares
Yes, every time I see his name, I go "Axel F!"
I'm touched that Troy McClure narrated this little special.
You might know me from movies such as "Mom, what's wrong with that mans head" :)

That equipment must have been super expensive. And when you consider how limited the capabilities of computers back then were I find it absolutely astounding how it was possible to produce high quality electronic music back then.
It was all analog, no computers at all! Just imagine the mastery these guys had to move all those cables and knobs and make any sound they wanted
Jean-Michel Jarre recorded Oxygene manually playing each track by hand. No sequencers back then.
The “real thing” still is super expensive!
Un hombre muy experimental... Realmente fascinante.
well honestly pc synth had to come along way to match any analog yet if you kick it with mog and 808 plus some tape recording machine you are golden and doing same with pc will lack the soul it will sound robotic unless heavily procces it and i do mean heavily many people that had success in 90s or 20s come to think about it even nowadays just sampled sounds from those old machines and only then it sounded good and still you cant have a good master withouth some tape saturator in the end mix so those machines were capable of alot of things honestly the sad part is that it still cost arm and a leg to get them and they still beat PC in my humble opinion :DDD
When i was 15, 16 when i really started to play guitar....
I definitely wanted to become a musician
@@Kururuko It was almost impossible because, it was, the dream was so big, that I didn't see any chance

Giorgio putting the click on the 24 track (1979, colourised)
Fun fact: "Take My Breath Away" (for the movie Top Gun soundtrack), co-written and produced by Giorgio Moroder, became their best-selling single in 1986 and a huge international hit, but also their last big hit.
The more you know.
3 Oscars ❤ also Midnight Express and Flashdance
Here's a fun fact: Actually his name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls him Giorgio.
I wonder what he was doing at 15-16...
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
Then where’s Moroder come from lol
ok
@Adam Massacre but that's not really how everybody calls him, is it
when i've heard "i feel love" for the first time in 1977 , i got hooked on electronic music forever
"From here to eternity"in my top 5 albums of all times ! Trance...from 1977. Awesome !
Definitely. Add to that FHTE, E=MC2 and No 1 in Heaven by Sparks for a perfect electronic soundtrack!
Giorgio Moroder, Harold Faltermeyer and Keith Forsey. Best soundtracks between 1980-1985.
I remember him from back in the day when this music was new and groundbreaking. He worked with many groundbreaking artists paving the way for Today's music unfortunately taken for granted by those who don't remember or care.
He was an awesome musician. I loved what he did in Metropolis in 1984
Was? He's still alive as of April 2021
@@em.1633 Was as in he's currently retired and hasn't put anything out in a long time. You do understand that "was" is just a past tense verb and has many meanings besides implying someone is no longer alive.
@@WeRNthisToGetHer not retired. He was touring in 2019 and had dates through 2021, but these were stopped due to the pandemic. Tickets are on hold. He’s a phenomenon.
@@WeRNthisToGetHer "He was an awesome musician" most certainly implies the person is no longer alive. That's how language works. When communicating, you should contemplate what meaning your audience will read in your words.
And before you claim that someone is retired, you should check whether someone is really retired. Moroder is still active, including putting out collaborations in recent years. And even if he were retired, it would be entirely presumptuous to assume he is no longer a good musician. In all possible senses, your use of the past tense was out of place here.
@@WeRNthisToGetHer Not retired. He just put out a new recording a few years ago and was on a world tour as a DJ. Do your research.

This must be in his own Studio called "Musicland Studios" in Munich / Germany. The guy behind the mixing console looks like Reinhold Mack.
The studio was well booked in the 70s and bands like Deep Purple, Rainbow, Led Zeppelin & Sweet recorded albums there.
I wonder if Dieter Bohlen ever went there 😯
@@FIXTREME Hahahaha... Naah... Dieter was still practicing punch guitar back then. 😅
Looks like a Harrison console with that Ampex MM-1200?
Don't forget Queen.
This was Rusk sound, L.A.
My life would be completely different if I could see that video back in 80’s or 90’s...
Впервые услышал Baby Blue весной 1984, на гибкой прозрачной пластинке (такие миньоны выпускала фирма Мелодия) - гонял её всю весну, тренируясь собирать Кубик Рубика. Великолепная композиция, каждый раз слушая её я просто переношусь в те замечательные годы, равных которым уже не будет никогда в моей оставшейся жизне...
Как я вас понимаю!
Я использовал переводчик гугл. Спасибо, что поделились своей памятью.
Мне было 15 лет, когда я услышал альбом E=MC2, это был 1980 год. С тех пор так его и слушаю, и слушаю и слушаю. И нисколько не надоедает. Пожалуй, это лучший альбом Giorgio!
Поверь,ты не одинок...)

This is the best Giorgio album, IMO. I love at the end when he lists all the gear and credits in vocoder.
All that glorious space consuming hardware! I love it. Analog is dead... Long Live Analog!
The cutting edge of synthesis.
And it’s all come full circle.
Nice shot of the short lived Shure Sm-59 mic at 1:15
That’s Baby Blue off E=Mc2 ! Classic!!
Thankyou for posting, thankyou RUclips
Oh my God, he is real.
GOD this guy is sooooo inspiring!!
This was after he had a HUGE hit with Donna Summer (I Feel Love). The Donna Summer was made with a Moog modular system that was already in the studio. Eberhard Schoener was in the studio the night before and actually came up with that famous bass sequence (it's on his record) but then left it sitting overnight. So Giorgio and Harald used it the next session for their record!
Best part is the $200,000 Mixer and the $150,000 in outboard gear that is "overlooked" in this video lol
blast from the past
It's very good to learn electronic with sound ^^ for exemple make a simple sound generator with a transistor , severals of them with others transistors and you have a primitive synthesizer home made !
trust me ^^ im from 1977 , electrician at work but also DJ and electronic lover from childhood ^^
thanks for uploading!!!
This version of Baby Blue should have been released
It's awesome!!
You can not convince me this is not an adult swim Lords of Synth side-video.
I'm sorry, but this is just too absolutely perfect in every single aspect.

I like this guy.
El gran maestro de la buena música....
Maestro de maestros, pilar de la musica electronica
1:37 - Sounds a lot like the opening of The Diary Of Horace Wimp by ELO. I wonder if there is a connection.
There is - it was recorded in this studio with the engineer in this video, Reinhold Mack. As was the rest of the Discovery album and Out of the Blue too. So the vocoder parts Jeff Lynne recorded on Horace Wimp will almost certainly have been performed with the vocoder setup Giorgio is using here.
true! what a song!
the great georgio moroder back in the great year of 1979......
Musicians like him simply don’t want to perform live because they are music producers. You cannot simply play this type of music live. You have to spend hours to produce this kind of music on the studio. That’s why he says it’s a nightmare to do it live.
It was a nightmare back in those days because sequencers would get off and out of sync, be temperamental and hard to rely on back then. Things are different today with electronics and music and DAWs.
Look mum no comptr
@@zeusapollo8688 The LMNC shows are quite a bunch of surprises exactly because of these quirks.
@@apollozero Exactly - I remember punching in sequenced ARPs as the tuning drifted even during a 3 minute take! If you listen to the full track of "I Feel Love" the timing goes seriously adrift every so often & you can hear the punch in when they decided enough was enough.
The difference now is all that hardware he was trying to bring together can now be done on one OS or sequencer
Most of the hardware from then is now emulated very well with VST and various other EFX or filters.
1979 Electrónica Sólida jajaja qué buena...Grande Legendario de Legendarios...Grande Moroder!!!

Why don't you use the synthesizer, synthesizer? So, I put a CLICK
on the 24-track which then was synced to the moog module
I knew that could be the sound of the future

Moroder = Genius
I recall a name associated with Donna Summer and Gorgio Moroder early in her career: Munich Machine.
Che Grande!
Genious!
Thanks everyone ( it is me in seventies )...
And my name is giovanni Giorgio ...
Ya le estaban reconociendo mucho merito a Krafwerk en los 70s...muchos no sabían de este Legendario.
That beat in the beginning slaps
Baby Blue by Giorgio Moroder
Back then Giorgio needs a group to performing live by the appropriate way.
Alone is a complete nightmare, "back then".
Великий мастер!
Художник!
THIS IS THE REAL HISTORY OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC!!! (no computer....no digital conversion ....only transistor!)
Yeah, but if you think further, what do you think is a computer? Nothing else than a lot of transistors. Synthesizer are also little computers.
This mindset is totally unhelpful and just hinders musical exploration and innovation. Computer electronic music is just as valid and not any less "real" than this.
@@em.1633 the synthesizer is a computer
@@robinsss fine, DAW based electronic music

legend that he is his voice sounds best synthesized. On his album "Nights In White Satin" he sang straight and it's a bit tough on the ears.

Fantastic - Giorgio's cover of that Elvis record!
cosmic money for the beautiful instruments. cosmic sound.
Fantastic
I've always wondered how he found the money for all that expensive equipment, considering that he used to produce Schlager-Musik (German pop music).
Hello, I’m Troy McLure! You may remember me by my other VO names, such as Chuck Ashton, and Leonard Nimoy.
Enchanted ♥️
He influenced the bell out of daft punk. He invented the robot voice.
No wonder everybody calls him...Georgio
It was a combination of pioneers. Giorgio was the first to use the vocoder in electronic music, and Alan Parsons of the Alan Parsons Project was the first to use the vocoder in a rock song.
I beleive YMO did this in 1978 or possibly even earlier in late 1977 on the spacey album by tatsuro yamashita
did what?
They did Baby Blue by Giorgio Moroder?
@@briankehew579 no they did not. The guys in Japan were messing around with drum machines sequencers and synths around the same time as moroder and kraftwerk.,.. this is not controversial.
keith forsey as well I think wow those 3
Yes loojs like Forsey on drum

ah yes, the record album. I love it.
Kelly watch the stars by Air sounds a lot like this one
Thank You! That’s what part with piano reminds me.
On "New Star in the Sky" they also mention Baby Blue; in typical English language one says the adjective then the noun (a blue baby). But in 1966, Bob Dylan wrote "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" and made it more poetic. So the tradition continues on!
If you like this kind of sound then check out the 1979 album by Sparks, Number 1 In Heaven, produced by Giorgio and featuring Keith Forsey (seen in this clip) on drums.
'But everybody calls me, Giorgio"
His mustache wins the Internet.

* Can you believe this record cost, in the 6 weeks it was made $ 15,000 per day?
* The voices ARE NOT WOMEN: The voices are Giorgio and Pete Bellote using a "referenter tone" connected to Sennheizer vocoders and keyboards?
* Harold Faltermeier took over with Giorgio from 25 keyboards in the studio?
* The study and the equipment of the engineer, Juerguen Koppers, were sold to collectors?
* The digital compression used on the disk, in 1979, was only 56K?
And it was the first digital record on history.
Amazeballs
the guys voice has a potential to be a meme in 2021
Mustache has great meme potential too
Interesting they use some kind of CV/digitally controlled actuators on the Rhodes to automate playing the keys from the MC8. Must have been a first... not seen anything like that since to be honest (maybe closest would be Yamaha's Disklavier)...
It’s a Marantz Pianocorder.
Freestanding device that uses solenoids to push the keys of any piano it’s placed in front of, and controlled by data frames recorded on a standard cassette tape that runs at twice normal speed… Giorgio just put his on a Rhodes instead.
