Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International

Design and layout by Scott Hansen

For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. “This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record.”

Following 2011’s Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O’Connor’s live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. “After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,” Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho’s creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond its current sound.

In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn’t until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. “It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,” says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like “Montana” and “Awake” are a departure from Tycho’s previous material – unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record – while “See” and “Dye” echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns.

Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen’s visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. “This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit,” notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition when an amalgam of songs were nearing completion, but Awake is where music becomes the focus and true expression becomes the result.

Capture is a song that means a lot to me. It was one of the songs that helped make me feel like I could be more free with what I made and worry less about the genre or whatever else. It's also the song that kind of led to me meeting a lot of the amazing people I've become friends with now.  So with that said, a few months ago I decided to start this VIP.
Don't forget to check out @jetomoosic 's amazing remix as well. He's one of the main reasons I've even finished this VIP haha
Jeto and I are also currently working on and nearing the completion of our  diverse album "Unbound". It features 7 tracks all based around the idea of breaking free of the confinement of a certain genre in order to create a truly wide range musical experience for all of you.

Hello world, as Bad Computer would say, This is a heavily inspired tune by @badcomputer, Also my first tune fully in Ableton, This is a pretty minimal tune with immersive ambiances and hard hitting drops.

(Insert more shit Bad Computer says for each of his songs right here)

TL&DR - His style is sick.

"Sancta Mea" « "My goodness, my saint" 

This song is the celebration of someone that holds a meaning to us, that has made an impact on who we are, that inspires us. 
I felt some kind of religiosity in this song and that, is something I attribute to a person in my life I still haven’t met but that will hopefully join my life some day. This dream keeps us alive.

I hope you can experience the same, and that you'll never be lonely. 
Thanks for the support.

"Name Of The Night" « "What we call night, what the night means to us."

This song was inspired by the waltz rythm, in which you might notice a similarity (the piano can be listened as a "one - two - one - two" movement). 

It was made in a single night, not because I had some kind of deadline, but because it is the result of a stream of consciousness I had to turn into music. It reminded me of the gothic, dark fables that were once told; you might imagine a "Bloodborne" setting while listening: fires in the distance, crows, owls, full moon and a creepy, but beautiful forest. 

Name Of The Night is the interlude that leads to the second half of the album, it leads to what comes after the night: the dawn.

Thanks for the support, I hope you'll enjoy this journey.

Virtual Self - Ghost Voices (Lane 8 Remix) [Lane 8 - Winter Mix 2018]

Buy/Stream: https://Anjunabeats.lnk.to/JRTGSo
Release Date: 11th January 2019
ANJ528D

Showcasing his ever-evolving sound palette, Jason Ross continues to broaden his sonic horizons with "The Gorge," his latest single release from the upcoming 'Rooms' EP. In addition, Jason is pleased to release his first Rooms Mix, the debut installment of a 6-part series to be spread across 2019. 

‘The Gorge’ sees Jason incorporate a psy-trance twist into the classic Anjuna formula, courtesy of the young producers, Dimibo. Bringing the tune together, however, took quite a while. "I don't think I've ever had so many different versions of a track before this one, described Jason. "There were so many directions I tried taking it, but nothing was exciting to me. I knew the track was special and I didn't want to put it to the side, so I kept trying different routes. Then I had this wild idea to turn it into a cross-breed of progressive trance and psy-trance, and it all clicked."

The track is a reflection of the eclectic sets he's recently performed alongside the Ophelia label manager, Seven Lions. Jason went on, "lately, I've been experimenting producing different genres and playing them out at shows. When I played b2b with Seven Lions at #ABGT250, we played a psy-trance track and I've never experienced such a raw reaction from the crowd when that bassline dropped. I knew I wanted to try and recreate something like that which I could also play in my own sets."

Another new project, The Rooms Mixes are another way for Jason to show his increasingly diverse taste in dance music. Said the young producer of the series, "Hosting a 6-part series across 2019 will let me showcase both old classics and new material outside of the live environment. I can give fans a taste of where my heads at in a different way."
