Giorgio Moroder puts Retro Sound back in the Mix
Q - with Jian Ghomeshi (Interview, 2013-12-19)

Giorgio Moroder has been described as one of the most influential music producers of the last 40 years. He's worked with the likes of David Bowie and Donna Summer, shaped the soundtracks of beloved films like Scarface, Midnight Express and Flashdance, and won several Grammys and Oscars. 

And after keeping a low profile for years, Moroder is back in the mix with projects that include Daft Punk's latest record, a Google game soundtrack, and a celebrated remix of the indie group Haim. 

He joins Jian to talk about bringing his creative prowess to a new generation, how he got over creating music "correctly", and why it seems today's music lovers are ready for a return to retro sound.
