Gerolamo Sacco

Added: Gerolamo Sacco soon understood something that music critics have not yet metabolized: what he does is not music. It is something else — an art form born of the technology of reproduction, which is to music what cinema is to theater. He started as a self-taught artist at 19, with sequencers and samplers. At 21 he was already an exclusive producer for Gigi D'Agostino's Media Records — five years in which he learned everything there is to learn about how the music industry really works. Then he decided that he also wanted to understand why it worked this way, and enrolled in Literature and Philosophy: in 2007 he graduated in History of Modern and Contemporary Music with a thesis on Franco Battiato — self-taught like him — and a question that the DAMS professors still can't answer. In the same period he was admitted to the Martini Conservatory in Bologna where he studied composition, harmony and counterpoint for four years. In 2008 Miraloop was born — more than a normal record company, a system. Four independent labels, each with a different sound universe. Progressive house, singer-songwriter pop, author music, experimental electronica. Radio Miraloop broadcasts productions of very different genres 24 hours a day. More than three hundred publications, hundreds of songs, over one hundred placements in national and international charts through the names of the artists he produces, in various musical genres. As a producer he has collaborated with over 250 artists in 25 years, spanning genres and generations. On Miraloop we mention, among the many, the return to the scene of Andy Fluon — Andrea Fumagalli, co-founder of Bluvertigo — with Satisfied and the collaboration with Giusto Pio, violinist and historic arranger of Franco Battiato, as part of the KUM project dedicated to the memory of the relationship between Giusto Pio and the Sicilian singer-songwriter. As a singer-songwriter he published Alieno in 2013 (top100 iTunes Italia) and Mondi Nuovi in 2019 (#9 iTunes Italia), accompanied by four radio singles written together with Senatore Cirenga. Since then he has continued with singles together with Devon Miles and others: Delicata, L'Ira, Blocked in the City, Moonlight, Pirates. The paradox is this: his music always works better when he bears someone else's name. He is working to change it.
