I love how you’re bringing all these awesome guys out and not only letting them share some amazing stories but giving them the recognition they deserve. 👏👏👏😀
Since I spent my childhood in the 80s it is still unimaginable what the early adopters of digital times have achieved in that period. Today it is really one click away. But that transition from analog to digital had something magic which has also been reflected in the music. Coming back to Moroder: To be a good composer you have to focus on the music itself and not on tech or even specific sounds. It seems that this lesson is almost forgotten today. Thank You for giving your personal insights. MXmas! 🎄
@@slickx45 Faltemeyer would be great. But Zimmer is just a deep bass rumble with bombastic musical cliches on top. His score for Dune was unbearable, the way it overpowered the imagery.
Wow. I was born in 1974. All you guys wrote the soundtrack to my 80s childhood! For that and these great videos: Thank you from the bottom of my heart! 🙂
Many may deride Sigue Sigue Sputnik as a "flash in the pan," but their debut album was an amazing technological achievement for it's time. Great video!
I can't find more suitable words than a simple "Thank you!". Thank you for the work you are doing on RUclips, for these open dialogues made available to explore this iconic sonic world that you have created. It is extremely important for me to hear your stories; I am truly interested in delving into the connection between synth and creativity, and the relationship between production needs and the development of these fantastic instruments 😊
Anthony Marinelli, once a standout in the musical industry, is now among the best individuals sharing his experience, knowledge, and stories on RUclips. He fulfills and completes the harmonic circle of life's best things. Thank you, Anthony. You are an essential part of 20th-century music history, and I can't even imagine my favorite songs sounding different without you.
I think I've said this multiple times now, but this is your best video yet. I just love these loosely focused discussions about what it was like making all of those great 80s jams. The big takeaway for me was that Giorgio was all about melody. I've never thought about his music in that way. But knowing that, it 100% shows in everything he's touched, from "I Feel Love" to "Scarface/Push It To The Limit" to "Take My Breath Away".
Giorgio Moroder began experimenting with electronics from the beginning of the 70's, starting and taking directly the 4 classic lines of Electronic Music (E. Post Concreta, E. Moog, E. Experimental and E. Soundtrack / Ambient, Sci-Fi) in synthesis with Pop songs (under a preferential beginning by Electronic Moog and Electronic Soundtrack / Ambient, Sci-Fi) in own productions such as Song Of My Father (1971) and songs for European artists such as the Scottish singer Lulu who were looking for this new synthesis of Electronica with Pop songs in E. Moog, meanwhile Kraftwerk only made noise with their characteristic Krautrock Düsseldorf & German Progressive Rock (which were not classic, direct or main lines of electronic music). By 1975 Moroder released his first Electronic album Einzelganger where he masterfully applied the 4 pillar lines of Classical Electronic Music (E. Moog, E. Experimental, E. Post Concreta and E. Soundtrack / Ambiente, Sci-Fi), meanwhile Kraftwek already began to replicate and copy these classic lines of Electronic Music mixed with Krautrock Düsseldorf (Autobhan), Moroder greatly surpasses the productions of Kraftwerk (1974) with the direct use and management of the classic lines of Electronic Music (without Krautrock substance & German Progressive Rock in between), Einzelganger was released months before the Radioctivity album that same year where the Conny Plank boys were already beginning to pay attention to the productions (E. Munich/ Music L. Studio) of Giorgio Moroder. Kraftwerk's definite defeat came in 1977 with Moroder's new Electronica productions (continuing the evolution of the Einzelganger album) that ultimately evolved and revolutionized the 4 classic lines of Electronic Music with the specific EDM model of Giorgio Moroder 1977 (E. Munich / Working To The Midnight Shift, Queen For A Day, Now I Need You, I Feel Love and her second electronic album From Here To The Eternity), all of this under the solid and concrete beginning of this nascent electronic scene that in its first development and evolution phase (1977-1980) the 3 main and primary electronic genres of EDM Concreto 70's are formed and consolidated: HI-NRG, Synthpop and Electro. Kraftwerk and their stagnant, rustic and underdeveloped album T. Europa E. (1977) bow and bow to Giorgio Moroder's EDM model, paying tribute to it in 1978 with the album The Man Machine which practically replicates and copies the concrete electronic bases of the EDM parent of Moroder (HI-NRG & Synthpop) on songs like Spacelab, Metropolis, The Model among others. Kraftwerk, defeated by Moroder, began to put an end to their descendants and lineage Progressive German Rock & Krautrock Düsseldorf in their future productions, even more so when in 1980 Ryuichi Sakamoto and his independent productions associated with YMO (E. Japan in synthesis with EDM Concreto post 1977 ) begins the primary electronic model and matrix of Electro (third and last electronic genre of Concrete EDM to form), it is from here that again Kraftwerk replicates and takes the productions of other developers for the formation of the album Computer Word (1981), this time It's Ryuichi Sakamoto's turn and his works from that year 1980 / Lexington Queen, Wareheat, B-2 Unit and the Grail of electro sound, the song Riot In Lagos, also added to the most minimal HI-NRG & Synthpop achieved until 1980 and the electronic lines of the group of the top producers and developers of the 70's in synthesis with EDM: Moroder (E. Munich), Jarre (E. France), Lacksman (E. Belgium), YMO (E. Japan), Tangerine Dreams & Schulze (E. Berlin)...among others. They are the matrix and primary bases of EDM Concreto + The group of the top producers and developers of Electronica of the 70's: Moroder, Jarre, Lacksman, YMO, Tangerine Dreams, Schulze, Vangelis, Faltermeyer, Tonet, Gizzi, Pinhas, Martín W. & Ian C. + the synthesis of EDM with the Disco / Funk scene that gives the roots and fundamental electronic lines for the beginning and branching of genres of EDM 80's (Second phase of evolution and development / 1981-1989): House, Techno, Synthpop, HI-NRG, Freestyle, Italo, Electro Funk, New Beat, Trance, Acid, Electro, Eurobeat...including the primary electronic base of the "ebm", the most comfortable part of Electro Industrial, the primary electronic molds that the converted Punk / Rockers take for the development of their New Wave scene (in terms of Electronics) and the primary electronic base of the Hip Hop / Rap scene of the 80's (detached from Classic Funk in synthesis with EDM). Ideological Kraftwerk fan who likes to distort the development, evolution and history of Electronic Music, this message is for you... My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everyone calls me...the father, founder and pioneer of EDM and Modern Electronics / The Sound Of The Future.
Those who shaped the 80's (in terms of Electronics) were the third wave of producers and top developers of Electronic Music of the 70's (E. Post Concreta, E. Moog, E. Experimental and E. Soundtrack / Ambient, Sci-Fi): Moroder, Jarre, Lacksman, YMO, Tangerine Dreams, Schulze, Vangelis...(just to mention a few)
This is Pure Gold. You could never get this anywhere, maybe in some books but not to this great detail and available right away. This is the Best Channel to learn about the history of music, making music, and all the little details to separate yourself form the rest, all of this is still relevant today. Yes, they even use to add reverb to the whole mix in mastering.
Man this channel is a little gold mine, if we take a step back and think about the fact that people with your knowledge and impact are willing to share their stories, basically only ONE CLICK away and for free?! That atleast is one undeniably good thing about the internet (I feel like i sound like an old man with this haha). A very heartfelt merry christmas to you and anyone reading this!
You’re interviews are amazing Anthony and thank you for always finding the right time to interject to move the conversation to the next topic without interrupting your guests! After the amazing Tom Bahler interview I guess I was a little surprised at how short this one was! Honestly I could have listened for 30mins just on Harold Faltermeyer alone!
Since I was a boy in the 70’s, listening by myself to albums (either through headphones or on occasion blasting through Fisher 3-way cabinets) I always imagined the artist always knew exactly what what we wanted to hear. All of the little sonic surprises that often stick with you. But in reality it was a credited, but “unsung” hero, a producer or an engineer, that was looking out for me. Making a good core song magical!
Very informative Anthony, thanks for bringing Ross Hogarth to the spotlight. Giorgio is a legend and I've been inspired by his music ! Merry Christmas !
Thank you so much Anthony! Love your chanel. I was born 1967, so of course the '80s music is in my veins up to forever. I was always saying to my friends that they are wrong thinking about their idols as of authors of EVERY sound that you hear on the record. I always subconsciously knew that there have to be special guys, magicians, just musicians and engineers that are giving their talent to this work called the record. And finally now, thanks to RUclips, I can know your names and faces, and just how great people you are. I love you, admire you and of course envy you at the same time all those great moments you lived. As a bedroom synth player and enthusiast, for my own pleasure only of course, I have to say that every bit of stories that you share with us, every little secret of synth tweaking is pure gold for me!
this is incredible, thank you!!! I'm a Moroder FREAK! Interviewed him a couple times and got to work with Forsey one time (played some synths for an artist he was producing), and I've been a life long fan and student of his camp's sound. Too hear this inside shit is just amazing, so thanks again!
Thank you for this great video, Anthony! Love this kind of chitchat with old colleague. And thank you for listening and for reducing the number of midroll ads to a sane amount.
Those stories are all super interesting. It's also so incredible to hear how those legends behave in the studio and all the creative process. Thanks Anthony again for those incredible videos.
This was great. I was (and am) a big fan of Giorgio's 70s productions... especially Donna Summer, Three Degrees and his solo albums. I remember chatting with him about 25 years ago over the internet and he wasn't so happy about his E=mc2 album (which was one of the first usages of digital recording) being released on CD yet was a recording taken from an LP....
Amazing... Everyone thinks about the big name Star; but everyone needs a "Team" This is my whole thing! What's happening in the background that brings it all together!!! Thanks for everything
Thank You. More than reminiscing, you're passing on knowledge, of dynamics, work ethic, mood, melodic prioritization, vocal scouting, cohesiveness, and awe. You were, at a special crossroads, of both technological advancement, and the most talented artists, at the apex of their abilities. Respect, for your contributions, you lucky bastards, you. Giorgio: "Bring Me A Coffee". "Try The Caviar". It's like, "Lifestyles Of The Rich, And Famous".
Wow Anthony! This was amazing! Moroder is my 1st inspiration to even buy a synth a year ago! And to know some of the sweetest 80’s songs had you on em too! Astounding! Again, this was an amazing post. Thank you for it. Boun Natale!
Thank you for telling us all these stories and showing us how this fantastic music was created. You are fantastic artists and sound magicians. Created the soundtrack of our lives.
Great discussion! Would love to hear more about the recording techniques, work flow and thought processes used back then in the studio. It would be a shame for this to be lost in time. Please document it so the rest of us can learn from it. The 80's was a great decade! Thanks!!
Yes. There are a lot of "basics" that don't get mentioned because they're obvious to those who lived it and so don't get mentioned but are now valuable techniques. I started recording when recording was 8- 16- 24-track analogue tape. I viewed my humble 4-track cassette as a quarter of a 16-track and every overdub was a single instrument. My approach was informed by Mike Oldfield, Jean Michel Jarre, etc. Years later I read Lewisohn's book on the Beatles sessions and I realized to them 4-track was 3 tracks better than mono and their approach was derived from direct-to-mono recording so their overdubs would have multiple people playing their parts live direct to a track.
Your channel is gold Anthony. With all respect to pro youtubers who are great in their craft but…you bring an unbelievable insight into music industry mixing it with passion to music gear and creative process. It’s like a history lesson but the one you actually love :) Love to listen to your clips. Keep it up please!
This again is another brilliant insight into the production process bring me way back to the times when “Smpte Code and 4” tapes….i allay believed that artist could crest more when faced with “Limitations with technology..today it’s nothing but millions of “Plugins” Patches etc.. thank you so much for the memories of the Giorgio Morden sessions
A friend of mine who worked with Georgio told a story about him using these Japanese made robotic hands that were designed to play the synth… but most of the session was fiddling with the technology… he didn’t have a lot good to say about Moroder so it’s nice to hear the better side of working with him.
Sooner than later Giorgio Moroder found himself flooded with projects and we could say he was one of the first in using "ghostproducers" thats why the sound changes drastically on early 80s and early 90s, Faltermeyer was its protegee but more like he tried to get things done under his name so they split
Thanks guys... I was living for all the Donna Summer stuff and synthesizer soundtracks as a kid. Me and my grandma loved listening to the Cat People soundtrack cassette tape back in the day! She had me buy her a copy of it haha.
Oh man, there was so much in this!!! Its literally taken me two hours to get through it because I'm looking up so much stuff. This is so awesome, please get Ross back to talk in more detail (about anything!!).
What a great conversation! All these details about how you grew up as musicians working together with these big names are so interesting to me. Thank you for sharing with us such unique experiences.
Always love when legends speak about working with legends.. especially with other legends! Merry Christmas & Buon Natale, Anthony! P.S. The Midnight Express soundtrack will always be my favorite work*
An amazing video again. Just so you know, I sleep with 3 things within arms reach at all times. A set of bongos and a ukulele, they are both small but make a noise. And a dvd of Let it Ride! I can’t believe you were in on that project. It is such an unbelievable feeling, knowing you had a hand in my favourite movie. It kinda all makes sense now. Merry Christmas
Melody IS king. No matter which piece of music you listen to, from 5 minutes ago or from 500 years ago, a jingle or a film score, the melody is what stays, not even the lyrics. It is what people whistle and sing in the shower, in the car, you can change the arrangement, make covers, but that's what hits us. You can turn Beethoven's 5th into a black metal or hardcore techno piece, or a frenzy bachata, it's still Beethoven's 5th with that legendary da da da daaaaaaam. And a good bassline or synth riff is just a very close relative of a melody. If a 2 year old can hum it, you won, and you can forget about spending a week on the snare sound, you won with those notes that now haunt that toddler ;)
Fantastic information of how music production was done this will be preserved for future generations of musicians and producer to get inspiration from , thank you Mr Marinelli .
I still remember the first time I heard I feel love by Donna Summers it was a song that the miusic sounded perfectly calculated snd it rocked the airways and high school dances. S This looks like a brilliant channel. Keep on trucking.
Hey Anthony and company, thank you so much for your work, gang! I've been listening to your work and productions since I was a kid. I never knew your names but your work has embedded into my psyche, my DNA and influences the way I write, record, produce and compose music. What you are doing is for history's sake and we all need to see it. Please keep up the good work now and into the future. I hope next year fucking kix azz too, yo! Happy holidaze to everyone there. We love you all.
I'm really enjoying these Storytime videos, with you and your guests ("family" really) sharing the Good Ole Days of Yesteryear. Please keep them coming. Happy Holidays.
I'm finding out I'm pretty good at creating chiptunes via UDIO.. I think the thing with UDIO, is determining what should come next.. But the cool thing is you never lose anything, the way the tracks are made, you always have your backups, cause it never deletes anything unless you do..
thank you for sharing this. legends discussing a legend. Musicland studios produced so much incredible music it's hard to fathom. Im partial to the Helios console era. Deep Purple's Burn and Rainbow Rising were recorded there. Reinhold Mack is another legend who shaped the sound there.

Agree! And... Would love to see Ross's name in the title too (plenty of characters left! 🤩)
Since I spent my childhood in the 80s it is still unimaginable what the early adopters of digital times have achieved in that period. Today it is really one click away. But that transition from analog to digital had something magic which has also been reflected in the music.
Coming back to Moroder: To be a good composer you have to focus on the music itself and not on tech or even specific sounds. It seems that this lesson is almost forgotten today.
Thank You for giving your personal insights. MXmas! 🎄
Moroder is my idol since decades. Love his songs from the 80’s.
Please do a video on Harold Faltermeyer music. It's a shame that most people don't know his work beyond Axel F. Because he deserves to be recognized.
That would be awesome
@@anthonymarinellimusiccan't wait for this!
Zimmer would be another great study!
@@slickx45 Faltemeyer would be great. But Zimmer is just a deep bass rumble with bombastic musical cliches on top. His score for Dune was unbearable, the way it overpowered the imagery.
@@younggunsmedia1739also everything sounds the same
Anthony absolutely love this! You need to get a hold of Giorgio for an interview at some point! Would pay to see that!
Wow. I was born in 1974. All you guys wrote the soundtrack to my 80s childhood!
For that and these great videos:

It’s good to see Ross looking happy and well. We haven’t spoken for a long time. The years are passing too quickly.
I think I've said this multiple times now, but this is your best video yet. I just love these loosely focused discussions about what it was like making all of those great 80s jams.

Kenny Loggins. Van Halen. 1988 Olympics. 1990 World Cup. The highlights of the decade had Moroder’s soundtrack. This is insane.

Dear Anthony, after I had communication with Moroders management, this guy ceased to exist for me. And I really admired that guy.
Don't think, just do! Greatest advice. Merry Christmas
Yes, everything comes later in my case, after the melody is ready 😊
Thank you for telling us all these stories and showing us how this fantastic music was created. You are fantastic artists and sound magicians. Created the soundtrack of our lives.
Great discussion! Would love to hear more about the recording techniques, work flow and thought processes used back then in the studio. It would be a shame for this to be lost in time. Please document it so the rest of us can learn from it. The 80's was a great decade! Thanks!!

11:02 That's how old school rock melodies convey the excitement of the recording. Extra tracks are a bonus if you really want to get operatic.
This again is another brilliant insight into the production process bring me way back to the times when “Smpte Code and 4” tapes….i allay believed that artist could crest more when faced with “Limitations with technology..today it’s nothing but millions of “Plugins” Patches etc.. thank you so much for the memories of the Giorgio Morden sessions
Nice. Giorgio Moroder is legendary. Really cool to hear more about him from first hand experience.
Guys you don't know how educational this is.
Nice to hear this. It seems that Giorgio's story was very vague in the 80's as we all know about the 70's.
A friend of mine who worked with Georgio told a story about him using these Japanese made robotic hands that were designed to play the synth… but most of the session was fiddling with the technology… he didn’t have a lot good to say about Moroder so it’s nice to hear the better side of working with him.
This is the video the world needed and Anthony Marinelli was absolutely the person to make it. 🙏🙌
16:46 This!!! The mix starts before hitting Record.
Great interview 👍
Sooner than later Giorgio Moroder found himself flooded with projects and we could say he was one of the first in using "ghostproducers" thats why the sound changes drastically on early 80s and early 90s, Faltermeyer was its protegee but more like he tried to get things done under his name so they split
This video Was super interesting & informative! Moroder was A legend & it must have been Awesome working with him! Keen for The next video :)
Wow, this is some top notch dialogue. So interesting and inspiring.
Merry Christmas and Happy 2024. Thanks for sharing the memories and techniques.
Thanks guys... I was living for all the Donna Summer stuff and synthesizer soundtracks as a kid. Me and my grandma loved listening to the Cat People soundtrack cassette tape back in the day! She had me buy her a copy of it haha.
Bravo, gentlemen! Thank you for the sounds.
What an amazing conversation, thank you both so much!
I can't wait Anthony. This will be a Holiday treat! Thank you
You’re so close to 100k here on RUclips keep going 💯💯💯
Thank you! I could listen for hours, this is incredible, this channel is incredible
Wow - one of my lifetime memorable melodies - the Korean Olympics - wow - that was produced by Giorgio - only discovered this via this video. Thanks
Brilliant, Anthony, and Ross!!! The uncredited musicians. arrangers, don't get enough credit
This is one of the best informational music tech talks ever. Thanks guys 😊
Hooray! It's time for the Moog modular synthesizer! I've been looking forward to this, Anthony!
Oh man, there was so much in this!!! Its literally taken me two hours to get through it because I'm looking up so much stuff. This is so awesome, please get Ross back to talk in more detail (about anything!!).
What a great conversation! All these details about how you grew up as musicians working together with these big names are so interesting to me. Thank you for sharing with us such unique experiences.
Always love when legends speak about working with legends.. especially with other legends!
Merry Christmas & Buon Natale, Anthony!
P.S. The Midnight Express soundtrack will always be my favorite work*
An amazing video again. Just so you know, I sleep with 3 things within arms reach at all times. A set of bongos and a ukulele, they are both small but make a noise. And a dvd of Let it Ride! I can’t believe you were in on that project. It is such an unbelievable feeling, knowing you had a hand in my favourite movie. It kinda all makes sense now. Merry Christmas
Thank you!! I love hearing about the creative process of different people like this!
Melody IS king. No matter which piece of music you listen to, from 5 minutes ago or from 500 years ago, a jingle or a film score, the melody is what stays, not even the lyrics. It is what people whistle and sing in the shower, in the car, you can change the arrangement, make covers, but that's what hits us. You can turn Beethoven's 5th into a black metal or hardcore techno piece, or a frenzy bachata, it's still Beethoven's 5th with that legendary da da da daaaaaaam. And a good bassline or synth riff is just a very close relative of a melody. If a 2 year old can hum it, you won, and you can forget about spending a week on the snare sound, you won with those notes that now haunt that toddler ;)
Fantastic information of how music production was done this will be preserved for future generations of musicians and producer to get inspiration from , thank you Mr Marinelli .
Anthony for sure you gave me a "love beat" in this video...Thank you to storytelling the music of my Life! ❤
Absolute love for this channel.
Great video as usual! Giorgio is a genius without a doubt... but I've always hated that reverb on kick drum 😅 🎶 🎵 ❤
Great stories, thank you! Love Moroder. He needs a documentary.
Great interview and great stories, thanks for sharing all this Ant ! your channel is class !!!!
I still remember the first time I heard I feel love by Donna Summers it was a song that the miusic sounded perfectly calculated snd it rocked the airways and high school dances. S
This looks like a brilliant channel.
Keep on trucking.
“Summer”
Loved this discussion. Thanks guys. Special times.
Hey Anthony and company, thank you so much for your work, gang!
I've been listening to your work and productions since I was a kid. I never knew your names but your work has embedded into my psyche, my DNA and influences the way I write, record, produce and compose music.
What you are doing is for history's sake and we all need to see it.
Please keep up the good work now and into the future. I hope next year fucking kix azz too, yo!
Happy holidaze to everyone there. We love you all.
Giorgio Moroder was a great synth artist thank you for sharing.❤️
That was so much fun to listen to. Thanks. And that outro at the very end 😀
Awesome, more Giorgio stories please! I've heard E=MC2 many thousands of times for example.
I'm really enjoying these Storytime videos, with you and your guests ("family" really) sharing the Good Ole Days of Yesteryear. Please keep them coming. Happy Holidays.
Great to just listen to you guys talk shop !
I'm finding out I'm pretty good at creating chiptunes via UDIO.. I think the thing with UDIO, is determining what should come next.. But the cool thing is you never lose anything, the way the tracks are made, you always have your backups, cause it never deletes anything unless you do..
I love this. So many gems here. Ty
🔥🔥🔥🔥 wasnt expecting the songwriting gems. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
This was so much fun to listen to! What a life you have🎉
Really looking forward to this one. Bought the single From Here To Eternity in 1977, flip side Utopia.
Utopia and Chase . super good stuff .
thank you for sharing this. legends discussing a legend. Musicland studios produced so much incredible music it's hard to fathom. Im partial to the Helios console era. Deep Purple's Burn and Rainbow Rising were recorded there. Reinhold Mack is another legend who shaped the sound there.
Another plethora of useful and interesting information!! Thank you!
Thanks again Anthony!
Heck yeah!
Over the Top! so awesome
another great video look forward to these .oh and Merry Christmas
Please make a part 2 🎹 💙
This was such a great video, could have listened to this all day
