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

This track is an expression of gratitude to all of you who have extended help to the victims of super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in the Philippines, which destroyed everything in its path.
We are touched by the outpouring of help from all over the world.

A quick cover I did last night of @FlyingLotus ' "Flotus" taken from his Ideas+Drafts+Loops release. I was really inspired by the loop and the chord progression that I thought I'd make my own version of it. I hope you guys like it! More music coming soon!

s/o to @suna / Alec Ness for helping me figure out the chords <3

Recently made a video for it here: http://youtu.be/Y1cKMawqFzQ

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Between the holiday hustle bustle and winter flu, I made this song. For those not familiar a 'Kokeshi Doll' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokeshi) is a handmade wooden doll, usually small and armless. My girlfriend gave me one to remind me of her which I always keep in my studio. I guess its a little something that reminds me of "love."

This track is another story: 'Kokeshi Doll' is a little sonic excursion through different emotional phases. Whenever I make music I try to be as open and as free as possible to explore different sonic avenues and I felt like I've did it with this song. Lately, I have been leaning towards music that have very powerful low end and I guess it became apparent in this track, which I'm quite happy of.

I am so excited with what the new year brings! Expect more tracks coming out soon and an album later this month! So stoked to share with you guys everything I have in store. Enjoy and thank you for keeping tuned!

Much love,
Mark
