Giorgio Moroder is a Actor, Associate Producer and Sound Italien born on 26 april 1940 at Urtijëi (Italie)
Giovanni Giorgio Moroder ([dʒoˈvanni ˈdʒordʒo ˈmɔːroder], born Hansjörg Moroder, Urtijëi, 26 April 1940) is an influential Italian record producer, songwriter, performer and DJ.
Moroder is frequently credited with pioneering Synth Disco and electronic dance music.
When in Munich in the 1970s, he started his own record label called Oasis Records, which several years later became a subdivision of Casablanca Records. He collaborated with Donna Summer during the era of disco (including "Love to Love You Baby" and "I Feel Love") and is the founder of the former Musicland Studios in Munich, which was used as a recording studio by artists including the Electric Light Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, Queen and Elton John.
In addition to producing several hits with Donna Summer, Moroder also produced a number of electronic disco hits for The Three Degrees, two albums for Sparks, a handful of songs on Bonnie Tyler's album Bitterblue as well as her 1985 single "Here She Comes" and a score of songs for performers including David Bowie, Irene Cara, Madleen Kane, Melissa Manchester, Blondie, Japan, and France Joli.
Producteur à Munich, Giorgio Moroder se fait par la suite connaître en composant une quinzaine de bandes originales de films et en collaborant, comme producteur ou compositeur, avec des artistes de premier plan comme David Bowie, Eurythmics, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Sparks ou Debbie Harry du groupe Blondie. Mais c'est avec Donna Summer qu'il connaîtra ses plus grands succès de compositeur et de producteur, parmi lesquels Hot stuff (1979), Bad Girls (1979), le fameux Love to Love You Baby (1975) ou bien encore I Feel Love (1977). Il signe aussi la musique de deux chansons de Mireille Mathieu : En frappant dans nos mains et Moi, c'est la chanson (Olympia 1973).
C'est en 1978 qu'il se lance dans la production de bandes originales de film. Son premier grand succès est Midnight Express d'Alan Parker, suivi d'autres comme American Gigolo de Paul Schrader, Flashdance d'Adrian Lyne, L'Histoire sans fin de Wolfgang Petersen et Scarface de Brian De Palma. En 1984, il produit une version remontée, colorisée et mise en musique par ses soins du classique de Fritz Lang Metropolis.
En 1984, il compose la musique de l'hymne officiel des Jeux olympiques de Los Angeles et collabore avec Philip Oakey, chanteur du groupe Human League, pour l'album Philip Oakey and Giorgio Moroder en 1985 ; en 1988, celle des Jeux olympiques d'été de Séoul ; et en 1990, celle de la coupe de monde de football Italia '90, interprétée par Gianna Nannini et Edoardo Bennato.
À la fin des années 1980, il participe financièrement à l'aventure de la supercar Cizeta et associe son nom à la marque pour son unique modèle, la Cizeta-Moroder V16T. Giorgio Moroder participe à la création du quatrième album de Daft Punk, Random Access Memories, qui sort en 2013. Sur la 3e piste intitulée Giorgio by Moroder, il raconte sa vie et en particulier ses débuts et son goût de la musique mêlant l'héritage des années 1950, 1960 et 1970 et « le son de l'avenir » des synthétiseurs.
En janvier 2015, Giorgio Moroder annonce officiellement une prochaine collaboration en tant que producteur sur plusieurs titres du futur album de Lady Gaga.
En 2016, il travaille avec le groupe de musique coréen Sistar sur la chanson One More Day, notamment présentée au 2016 DMC Festival.

Le documentaire revient sur les 20 ans de carrière de Daft Punk,et met en lumière les moments clefs de leur histoire, depuis leur premier groupe de lycée à Paris jusqu’à leur triomphe à Los Angeles où ils ont remporté cinq Grammy Awards pour leur album Random Access Memories en 2014.Entre fiction et réalité, magie et secrets, théâtralité et humilité, les deux Français Thomas Bangalter et Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo ont créé un univers artistique unique. Tout au long de leur carrière, ils ont choisi de maitriser sans relâche chaque maillon de leur chaîne créative. Le film met en lumière les moments clefs de leur histoire, A travers leur posture - à contre-courant de notre société du paraître - les Daft Punk nous interrogent sur la quête d'indépendance et de liberté de deux créateurs, et sur notre propre rapport à l'image, aux médias, et à la célébrité. A l'heure de la mondialisation et de l'explosion des réseaux sociaux, ils refusent d'afficher leur vrai visage et orchestrent avec précision chacune de leurs apparitions en robots.

Miles Harding is an architect who envisions a brick shaped like a jigsaw puzzle piece that could enable buildings to withstand earthquakes. Seeking a way to get organized, he buys a personal computer to help him develop his ideas. Although he is initially unsure that he will even be able to correctly operate the computer, he later buys numerous extra gadgets that were not necessary for his work, such as switches to control household appliances like the blender, a speech synthesizer, and a microphone. The computer addresses Miles as "Moles", because Miles mistyped his name during the initial set-up. When Miles attempts to download data from a mainframe computer at work, the computer begins to overheat. In a state of panic, Miles pours a nearby bottle of champagne over the machine, which then becomes sentient.

The marine-based documentary was mainly shot around Papua New Guinea, and is a collection of footage directed by Riefenstahl between the 1970s and 2000. Other film locations included the Maldive Islands the Seychelles, Kenya, Tanzania, Indonesia, the Red Sea, the Cocos Islands (Pacific) and the Caribbean Sea (Cuba). Riefenstahl dismissed claims that the film was a comeback; "Impressionen Unterwasser certainly isn't a 'comeback'. I was always active and continue to be so. My film shows the beauty of the underwater world. I hope it will touch the viewer's conscience as it illustrates just what the world will lose when nothing is done to stop the destruction of our oceans. I once said that I am fascinated by the beautiful and the living. I seek harmony and, under water, I have found it.
