Leading Artist Collective UBU Honors the Legacy of Visionary Co-Founder Marco Trinchillo with New Self-Titled Album The global artist collective UBU has just released the highly anticipated tribute album UBU in memory of their innovative co-founder, the late Marco Trinchillo.
With an official release date of April 28, 2023, this 11-track project showcases the immense talent and far-reaching influence of Trinchillo, featuring a diverse roster of artists who have been personally inspired by his artistic vision. Originally born as a side project between Trinchillo and Mattia Mercuriali, the band Amycanbe, UBU has since evolved into a powerful and unique creative platform for artists of all backgrounds to unite and create. Comprised of renowned musicians such as Hannah Saunders, FRNQ, Nicola Biondi, Pieralberto Valli, Hellis, Cleats, Luca Parma, Emma Perrot, Enzo Moretto, Francesca Amati, and Pieralberto Valli, the collective came together to record the self-titled album.
Produced over a span of two years by UBU and Franco Naddei at the esteemed ‘L’Amor Mio Non Muore’ studio in Forli, Italy, the album was nearly complete before tragedy struck. With the completion of the album just within their grasp, the passing of the immensely talented musician and photographer Marco Trinchillo at the young age of 41 due to cardiac arrest was a devastating loss for the music industry. UBU now stands as a heartfelt tribute to its co-founder, encapsulating his creative energy and passion. A self-taught drummer and photographer, Trinchillo’s artistry continues to inspire countless artists in the music and visual arts world. His photography, featured in renowned publications such as The Guardian, Vogue, and Dazed, serves as a testament to his innate talent and lasting legacy.
UBU is now available on all major streaming platforms, allowing audiences to experience the enduring impact of Trinchillo’s artistic contributions. As UBU proudly continues to bring together a diverse community of artists, the album serves as a fitting homage to the remarkable spirit of Marco Trinchillo and his unparalleled vision.
