I am the Riverbed
You are the dove
I'll stay on my side,
and be embraced by love

is there anyone there?

I'll stop the daylight
and turn away the sun
i'll stay on my side
i'm not the only one

I'd rather be dead
you're standing strong
i'll stay on my side
I feel so alone

is anyone there?

i am the mirror that blinds as the sun
i'll stay in your reflection
and be embraced by drugs

I fear this thread
that weaves it's way around
drag me high above
and push me to the ground

Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International
Release date: MARCH 18, 2014

Purchase "Awake": shop.iso50.com/collections/awake

formats:
CD/LP/DIGITAL

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.

UPDATE: check out the great fan video made to the dub version by Progressive House 4Life (https://www.facebook.com/ProgressiveHouse8) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJe1DfY0qms Very cool and beautiful cinematography :)

Our remix of The Shore is finally out on Mango Alley along with the excellent rework by Mango and SEAWAVES. 

The original is a real emotional ballad so we wanted to stay true to that but give it a bit of a nostalgic feeling, like you're heading homeward on a journey. So we've added a groove, some original instrumentation and a little bit of euphoria too :)

We realize that you can just listen to it on here as many times as you like, such is the awesomeness of the internet! But if you'd like to say thanks and have a copy on your iPod or in a mix please feel free to head to Beatport (and soon iTunes) to download a copy.

Russian talent Laniakea joins the Silk Music artist roster with three lush chillout pieces, collectively entitled "You're Happier Than You Think".

The title track takes off with a breathtaking atmosphere, including soothing piano lines and delicious pad layers. Subtle guitar notes spice up the soundscape later. In "While There Is Time", we again witness a stunning atmosphere, which contains intricate percussion elements, otherworldly melodies, and extraordinary sound effects. A haunting soundscape is quickly established in "Licentious", in which we witness outstanding pads, delicious choir sounds, and truly enjoyable piano melodies.

Harmony Of The Universe

The second album is produced in 432hz tunning and features sampled speech from Acharya Rajneesh(Osho). As a world healer, his teachings are deep and profound and can hardly be summarized. The album aims to deliver these messages and reach out to the people who are of that vibration.
