'Unforeseen Consequences' by BitMapCrew

Antonio Trinchera's storied career with A.MA Records has seen his music chart a fascinating course over the years.  

Initially introducing himself via the comparatively young label at the time through his 'Next Move' album, the Italian guitarist, musician and composer presented his versatile interpretation of jazz through eclectic production that proudly boasted subtle underlays of electronic influences permeating through the music.  Featuring some excellent vocals from Nikaleo alongside an array of excellent supporting musicians, Trinchera followed up his past releases with Psychonavigation Records with a fantastic album that paid homage to many of his influences.

Originally nurturing his affection for music through a background in classical music, the 'Trinchera sound' soon evolved through exposure to jazz and blues before electronic soundscapes would open the door to a further myriad of musical possibilities.

'Fauves' released in 2022 delved even deeper into Trinchera's compositions that had now confidently found ways to straddle that line between jazz and electronica in many ways celebrating its own duality.

And while Antonio Trinchera can release projects that do find their inspirations from the two disparate musical realms, through his BitMapCrew, Trinchera can present a more unhindered perception of electronic music.  Under the guise of the BitMapCrew, Trinchera, in collaboration with Dario Antonelli, unveiled their four-track EP in 2021 entitled 'Bits of Impressions', a project initially teased through the 'Love Faces' single release in 2021.  'Bits of Impressions' served as a complete reinvention of Trinchera's sound - a project that fully committed to these expansive and bold sonic soundscapes steeped within electronica and seemingly born of a wholly different creative mind from the Trinchera initially introduced back in 2016.  

'Unforeseen Consequences' finds the BitMapCrew aesthetic given the space to fully unleash over the course of the album's nine tracks and 39-minute runtime.  At times frenetic, at times experimental, the soundscapes demonstrate Trinchera both blurring and expanding the boundaries of his own musical identity. 

The album is not just a further step into electronic experimentation, it's a confident statement from an artist unafraid to reinvent and explore without constraint.  Where his solo work often balances tradition and innovation, BitMapCrew allows Trinchera the freedom to fully immerse himself in sonic abstraction.  The result is a body of work that feels both deliberate and unpredictable – a reflection of an artist who, after years of evolution, is still boldly charting new territory.
