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.
