New Audio: BMA Shares Broodingly Cinematic “The Unwritten Winter”

Through the release of 2020’s self-produced debut EP 2020’s Asynchronous and 2023’s full-length debut, Ephemeral, the French-born, Canadian composer, multi-instrumentalist and BMA creative mastermind Bruno Margiotta quickly established a broodingly cinematic sound that draws from post-punk, classical music and electronic music.

The French-born, Canadian-based artist’s recently released sophomore album, Born From The Last Rain features album single “The Unwritten Winter,” a broodingly cinematic composition anchored around a woozily looping guitar figure, twinkling keys and glistening retro-futuristic synths that further cements Margiotta’s sound — a sound that seemingly channels Mogwai, Collapse Under The Empire and others.

New Audio: BMA Shares Meditative “Beyond The Hope”

Bruno Margiotta is a French-born, Canadian-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and creative mastermind behind the post rock instrumental project BMA. After the release of his self-produced debut EP, 2020’s Asynchronous, Margiotta world with local and international studios to produce his full-length debut, Ephemeral.

Released earlier this year, Ephemeral draws from post-rock, classical music and electronic music. Album single “Beyond The Hope” features twinkling piano, a sinuous and propulsive bass line, soaring and swelling bursts of synths, and gently padded drumming in a meditative yet cinematic composition that reminds me a bit of Collapse Under the Empire and others.
