After a trail of engaging IDM tracks, Taut releases his debut LP ‘Sincerity’

Adopting the moniker of Taut, Jacob Bergson has been conducting his own experiments with electronic sounds for more than a decade, all while carving out a place for himself in the competitive New York City music scene. Though Taut finds time to connect with and draw inspiration from other producers who share an interest in exploring fresh avenues of sound, it’s clear that his own unique personality is enough to bring vibrant character to his work.

Taut is the first solo project to come from this artist, but the quality of his singles released late last year have already been helping to establish his growing discography. Now the US based artist has made to the move to extended releases, finally dropping his first LP, a 10 track collection which wanders across genre boundaries.

Titled ‘Sincerity’, the album leans away from organic sound, and instead makes full use of synthesiser and modular textures. That’s not to say Taut disregards physical sound entirely, but appearances of muted drums and orchestral progressions arrive already having been altered to exist within the artist’s meticulously cultivated soundscape.

Within Sincerity you’ll find elements of glitch and IDM blending together with flowing synth, but the elaborate attention to detail is what finalises this LP.

Support the release on Bandcamp or stream it on Spotify.

The producer heads toward his first full length album and drops a multilayered single along the way

For over a decade now Jacob Bergson has been at work within New York City, bringing his sound and personality to the music scene there. He’s found common ground with other artists based in the city, such as Rubblebucket and Jojo Mayer of Nerve, but also spent time away from the USA to perform abroad.

Bergson’s current project ‘Taut’ is a more recent creative venture, and marks the first time the producer has presented himself as solo artist. The steadily expanding discography under Taut’s name exudes vibes of IDM and glitch, as well as hints of influence from Floating Points and Siriusmo.

A full length album is on the way, but for now Taut’s identity is wrapped up in a handful of singles created this year. In these tracks downtempo beats set the foundation for extensive experimentation with synthesizer, with electronica melodies ebbing in and out of the landscape.

The most recent single from Taut which should pave the way to the expected LP is ‘Vertices’. The track is a dip into sonic waves and waters stirred by rising synthesizer and deep beats below the surface. At times Vertices falls back to minimalist melody, then resurfaces, alive and resonant.
