honor. of mine and i composed my first film small for midnight express that's really something it was your first soundtrack that wins the world's top award thank you. the chase the main theme for midnight express was some pulled dozens of times and that was just the beginning of the road and now has three oscars to his credit but he came from humble beginnings in south rolled my new kid who had a really normal childhood invited got dana went to school to school then i went to school in rather a so in northern italy and started to play the guitar. and i listen to a lot of english language music. not german or italian but mostly english. and i really liked paul anka songs diana.

a cold instrument a technical instrument yes can sound a bit cooler than a violin and so the guy. americans in particular love to school sounds. giorgio moroder moved to hollywood and began producing music for films like flashdance scarface and top gun. he played everything by ear i'm a showered with success. a club in los angeles was even named after him you know. a life that's not easy to come by. but when he was and you're successful and have a great loving wife very loving son all that you could say but you've been lucky. if you're happy. that's my glucose.
