Giovanni Giorgio Moroder is a musician from Italy. His work with synthesizers makes him one of the early adopters of the technology. He is thus considered one of the founding figures of electronic music. You can learn more about him from Wikipedia or Inckredible. He is a very influential person in music, but he is not very well known by the general public. This has caused some to speculate he is part of the secret illuminati of the music business, alongside British 80’s pop duo The Quick. See also: Quickposting. Daft Punk pays homage to Giorgio in their 2013 song “Giorgio by Moroder”, which uses a spoken word sample from Moroder as the introduction.
