Taut is the alias of Berlin-based electronic musician Jacob Bergson. Since the release of his debut singles as a solo artist in late 2020, Taut has been a prolific creator of music, releasing a full-length album, five EPs, and several remixes. A number of these releases received radio play on BBC Radio 6 and SRF Swiss Radio and were also included in Spotify editorial playlists. Seeking to push the limits of his musical imagination, Taut’s newest work builds on the unusual processes he first employed on his prior EP. Generations of discarded sketches were reabsorbed, decontextualised and brutalised, resulting in irreversible decisions, forced choices, and ever-compounding layers of complexity. The result is music which feels emergent rather than crafted, as if bubbling up spontaneously from the listener’s subconscious, with the actions of the creator himself nearly entirely obfuscated.
