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.

Awake

Kodomo’s full-length debut release – titled Still Life – will be released on October 7th, 2008 on New York’s 5 Points Records.  This release features 9 original tracks and a bonus track, “Spira Mirablis” - currently featured in the MTV/Harmonix iPod video game “Phase.” The concept for the record was born of a series of photographs, each one serving as a springboard for the music.  The album explores how images of environments, landscapes, people, and objects are used to evoke musical ideas; each image giving rise to various rhythms, chords, and sonic textures.  The photos were taken in Italy, China, Japan, Switzerland, & around the US.  The CD release has a deluxe package that includes an expanded booklet featuring all 9 photos.

The "New Frontier" remix by Nifty Earth reworks the original into a deep house masterpiece. The driving beat, deep bass, and exquisite layering of strings, guitars and piano all make for an energizing listen. This tune aims to inspire hope and a sense of adventure, and Nifty Earth conveyed that feeling in his remix.

Many thanks to @niftyearth for the awesome rework. This is his first release in four years so it's an honor to have his sound on a remix.

New Frontier (Nifty Earth Remix)

Hours

Dive

In the dim glow of a high-school classroom, a 15-year-old Genesiskhode slammed raw chords into a homemade recorder and formed his first band. Some Producers said the songs felt “cinematic—like a freeze-frame in a film,” but an unpolished voice kept the project earthbound. He never stopped.
That setback became rocket fuel. At university, he gutted a six-tatami dorm room and rebuilt it into a “starship studio.” There, the bedroom producer stitched lo-fi hip-hop, trap, and city-pop into beats that smelled of back-alley asphalt under a galactic sky. Under an alias, he slipped tracks into indie films and fashion videos fronted by actresses who now headline the A-list. Word spread through the underground like neon static.
Three years into a “stable” office job, Genesiskhode had an epiphany:
“Security kills the BPM.”
By nightfall he’d filed his resignation and gripped his audio interface like a flare gun. Rebooted as a voice-less singer-songwriter and producer, he now carves his inner monologue into tracks, trading hooks with AI vocals and hand-picked guest singers.
The universe may be infinite, but Genesiskhode’s bedroom keeps finding new corners of it—and the world is starting to dance in its orbit.
