Trigg & Gusset is a Dutch duo blending dark jazz, moody electronica, and cinematic tension into a distinctive and layered sound. Since their debut in 2013, they’ve carved out a unique space where melancholy, groove, and atmospheric depth meet.
At the heart of Trigg & Gusset is the collaboration between Trigg’s refined production and composition skills and Gusset’s expressive performances on tenor saxophone and bass clarinet. Their music moves between noir jazz, electronica and ambient, drawing influences from contemporary slow jazz, classical music, and minimalism.
After four albums—including The Way In (2020), also released on vinyl—they released the original soundtrack for the award-winning game Blue Prince (2025), praised for its emotional richness and immersive atmosphere.
Trigg & Gusset are more than a duo—they are curators of a creative network. Collaborations with musicians like trumpet player Coen Hamelink, along with various drummers guitarists and double bass players, add layers of texture and color to their sound.
Quotes from the media:
“Het muziekgezelschap van Trigg en Gusset vervoert ons, bespeelt ons gemoed. Zoals films en tv-series van David Lynch dat doen.” – recensie ‘The Way in’ Jan Bol (2021)
” If ‘Legacy of the Witty’ proved that Knol and van Geer could play elegantly and with passion, then ‘Adagio for the Blue’ certainly proves that their talents lie not just in the moment. It’s a release that proves they can compose just as well as they can improvise, and it’s simply a joy to hear” – recensie Anthem review (2015)
“There is something deliciously dark and mysterious about the film noir-esque sounds presented on Legacy of the Witty by Trigg & Gusset on Preserved Sound … something very David Lynch.” – headphonaught (2013)
