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

prod. morecalcium + voidcity
written, mixed, mastered and performed by me

[LYRICS]:
I can never be what you want me to be
I know you love me but my love ain't free

I want you to run away with me

Run, run, run
Can you run away with me?
Please baby, please baby
Run, run, run
Before i shoot this gun, gun, gun
Run, run, run

I can never be what you want me to be
Designer on my shoes
And i got 'em for free
I quit the drugs, so stop talking to me
If i'm on drugs, i got 'em for free

I want you to forget about me
I don't wanna be another memory

Love is pain
And your lips are my novocaine
I can't get enough, no

I don't want to hide my feelings
I don't want to hurt my feelings
All your words have lost their meaning
There's nothing i believe in

I can never be what you want me to be
I know you love me but my love ain't free

I want you to run away with me
I want you to run away with me

Run, run, run
Can you run away with me?
Please baby, please baby
Run, run, run
Before i shoot this gun, gun, gun
Run, run, run

I can never be what you want me to be
Designer on my shoes
And i got 'em for free
I quit the drugs, so stop talking to me
If i'm on drugs, i got'em for free

I want you to love me for me
If you love someone, let them be free

I want you to forget about me
I dont wanna be another memory

Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, 
run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run 

I can never be what you want me to be.

can you run away with me? (prod. morecalcium + void city)

LYRICS:

I'll see you at the movies
I see you with your lipstick on
I'm looking out for cosmos
I'm hoping that we get along
It's time for an ovation
It's time for us to make a change
It's time for a Chinese new year
It's time for me to make away

And I can't, no I can't wait to get far from here
No I can't, I can't wait to get out of here
No I can't, no I can't, no I can't wait to get out of here

I'll see you at the movies
I see you with your lipstick on
I'm looking out for cosmos
I'm hoping that we get along
It's time for an ovation
It's time for us to make a change
It's time for a Chinese new year
It's time for me to make away

Sweared a lot and I bared a lot
I was there a lot last year
Wept a lot, oh baby you slept a lot 
I was left a lot last year
Pleased a lot, baby you seized my heart 
And I started to fall last year

chinese new year

Home Pt. 1 & 2

im not beautiful
just a piece of shit with make up on
our hearts broke mutually
i dont know who to call my friends anymore
my love burns slow
like an american spirit
you told me to keep my chin up for the future, girl you know i fear it

i want that girl who i knew from the start
shed make me laugh at silly pictures when we were alone
im sitting on my bed looking through her pictures wondering
when will she come home

Im Sorry

A Heart Like Hers

A quick remake of the Zelda Skyward Sword theme from scratch - Mostly to practice with instruments and otherly because it's a badass theme. I added a little touch of me and some choir, but I'll maybe reapproach this once it's out and put in a little more dummy-ness.

Some random facts:

• I've never played this backwards to know if the rumours are true. I'll investigate more soon.
• The sample libraries in this piece total up to about 2tb disk space and 23gb memory.
• I had to make it in 4 seperate parts and combine the rendered down wav files.
• It took around 3 hours from start to finish. A little longer than usual because the original piece is fully orchestrated.

Zelda Skyward Sword - Theme Reorchestrated

07 The Legend of Zelda Main Theme Medley

An orchestral cover of Kokiri Forest from Zelda Ocarina of Time. I'd never paid much attention to the Zelda music until recently. I wish I had gotten into it much earlier as there's so many good pieces of music hidden behind 8bit blips and blops.

I tried to keep faithful while adding a little of my own style. I know it's a bit samey as my other stuff in parts, but that's just how I compose, I think.
