On Monday, May 23, 2025 in CD and vinyl, Friday 6 June in digital, Luminol Records, in collaboration with Ma.Ra.Cash and Self, will release “Delta,” the new album by Ujig.
To present this long-awaited fourth album, the formidable Milanese prog-fusion band has devised a reasoned series of four videos – the last of which is live – that anticipate the album and tell a story in music. An adventurous and visionary trip, in which the daring instrumental formula of Konstantin KrĂ€utler (drums), Edoardo Maggioni (keyboards), Marco Leo (guitars) and Cesare Pizzetti (bass) unleashes melodic power and charm as always.
Today it’s the time for “Make Make.” Watch the official AI generated visualizer through the YouTube player below:
Ujig declare:
“Make make is perhaps Ujig’s most jazzy track, it stems from an elaboration of an idea born in 2020 during the lockdown in Varazze, after listening to Julian lage and Nelson Veraz with Jonathan Kreisberg. The idea was to create a melodic line moving through different tones. So the first idea was born in 3/4, later changed to 4/4 to try to give the A section more groove. The transition to B and the B section are actually meant to be played in combination with an arrangement for an orchestra.
The piece then transitions to the solo section.
Both the guitar and piano solos are built on two almost equal progressions with the difference of one chord (the last one in the sequence) giving a more dramatic and evolving effect to the piano solo, as opposed to the guitar solo which remains more suspended awaiting the transition between the two solos built on a variation of the main theme.
The piece closes with a repetition of A and B that however varies the in 3/4 and then returns on 4, leaving room for a solo by Konstantin.
The title comes from the name of a recently discovered microplanet in our outer solar system, which leaves us with the hope that not everything has been discovered yet, that reality still holds many things in store for us that can make us change our perception of what is ânow obviousâ.”
