I started soundcloud doing simple instrumentals. I would get the most inspirational comments from this amazing guitarist. I got up my courage, and wrote him...I remember apologizing for calling him "Roth"...I learned what an amazing man he is. He continues to inspire me to this day.

Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International
Release date: MARCH 18, 2014

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.

I was glad to contribute some guitar parts to this summer confection from Marcus and Martin of Splintered Finger @fraudstein.

For those keeping track at home, Splintered Finger created the basic tracks as an open collaboration. I added that melodic 70's-style rhythm guitar part as well as a spacey guitar pad. The first solo is also me. The second solo comes courtesy of the always distinctive and ever rippin' Martin Reed @its-tophonicus. Then Jörg @joerxworx brings his smooth and sexy alto (you can hear more of that horn here: https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx/sax-on-sunrise-redemption-by-splintered-finger) Finally Martin picks it up again and takes it all the way home and beyond. Martin also edited and mixed. 

This track kept me good company recently on a particularly salty week away from work. I'll keep it posted until the end of summer, or whenever summer ends for me, anyway.

painting of the world

There was a nice piece of blue and green / in the eye
bits of yellow and purple / hangin in there too
some layers of white and grey / circling around

>just turn it right around
and hang it on its side
a little to the left now / a little to the right now
take a little step back / take a step back now
turn it right around
turn it turn it right around
its just a painting of the world
its just a painting of the world
take a little step back / take a step back now
spin it hard /  hang it on the other side /  hey / hey

well its all swaying / going round and round
nothing stands still for too long / for too long now
yeah its all swaying / going round and round
circles within circles / just to make it easy / easy

well its all swaying / going round and round
[feel the earth move / feet in the groove 
on the heat in the street / in the flow on the beat beat]

yeah its all swaying / going round and round 
[and everytime I wake up / there in my coffee cup
ripples slidin all the way /over to the other side] 

>just turn it right around
and hang it on its side
a little to the left now / a little to the right now
take a little step back / take a step back now
turn it right around
turn it turn it right around
its just a painting of the world
its just a painting of the world
take a little step back / take a step back now
spin it hard / hang it on the other side /  hey / hey

All set up with light and shade
head full of ideas
Not sure where they all come from
what data overflows
flick it on the page and spin it round
finding what was found
O oh there goes another runner
how far will this go oh
wheres that paper / wheres that rag
this is / this is an emergency 

>just turn it right around
and hang it on its side
a little to the left now / a little to the right now
take a little step back / take a step back now
turn it right around
turn it turn it right around
its just a painting of the world
its just a painting of the world
[take a little step back / take a step back now
spin it hard /  [hang it on the other side]

Dear Sound masters, -blasters, listeners, mates and contacts,
I wish you and yours a merry, happy, joyful christmas,
a still continuing creativity, humour and a bright 2016.
I´m glad we share our passion for inventive sounds.
Cheers :-)

RW&TL is one part of my soundtrack for a local movie "City Stories", a portrait of six different people, six short cuts. They are about their life and visions, and future dreams in our rather small town...big and small things, that keep the engine burning...

the whole movie with all the six short cuts:

This track is about a female dancer, her dance is inspired by sign language...
Playing table guitar was the only way to get some humble results in the wet cold...and the idea for the further arrangement. 
By the way - if a singer wants to add some lyrical stuff, spoken or sung, I would like to make a re-arrangement / second version :-)

radiation burns off my hair,
bad mojo heavy in the sun,
where god doesn’t care,

red meat, blood in surplus, so serious 
your heart chose me

Punished for the one I love, buried in the setting sun,
Trust, punished for the one that I love

Bad Mojo

Just too much fun! I could not pass this up! Roth Whyler was kind enough to offer this track...I consider him a genius with the guitar.

Thank you Hans-Michael Albers!

What a night (Collaboration with Roth Whyler)

Welcome! I play many guitars, but my favorite is a blond 1973 Telecaster.

I have had the privilege to collaborate with some fine musicians here on soundcloud; I sincerely thank them all. 


Trend kindness. :)
