Gerardo Iacoucci
Gerardo Iacoucci is an Italian jazz pianist and composer known to collectors for the library music albums he recorded in the early 1970s. For many years his identity and history were a mystery to record collectors, who knew him through rare pressings on Romano Di Bari's Deneb label. Iacoucci recorded the suite L'Avventura for Deneb in early 1970, at a time when the label was also issuing work by Alessandro Alessandroni and A. R. Luciani, and Finders Keepers later drew on it for the compilation Le Avventure.

Industria N.1

It was not just an alienating workplace, where you often spent your whole life, but also – and overall – the place where demands were made and political struggles took place. Therefore, a feasible imaginary soundtrack for the factory wa…
