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.

|AMBIENT SOUNDSCPES INSPIRED BY THE WRITINGS OF FRANK HERBERT AND HIS DUNE UNIVERSE

SPICE - MELANGE

Step into a world where ancient legends collide with neon-lit futures. Synthetic Reality is a cyberpunk-inspired house album that pulses with high-energy beats, cinematic soundscapes, and a subtle thread of Celtic melodies woven into its core. Each track is an epic journey, fusing the driving rhythms of the electronic underground with the timeless spirit of myth and legend.

This album is more than music—it is a tribute to the worlds that have captivated the Gaiscioch Community for decades. From digital battlefields to realms of magic and steel, the songs channel the echoes of legendary titles that shaped countless adventures. The result is a sonic landscape where glowing skyscrapers meet misty highlands, and where the futuristic and the mythical dance together in harmony.

Synthetic Reality is designed to be both immersive and uplifting—whether you’re seeking an adrenaline surge on the dance floor or a reflective journey through the memories of digital worlds past. It is a celebration of community, legacy, and the enduring power of stories to unite across generations.

This might quite possibly be my favorite track on the EP. 

I woke up in the middle of the night, thinking to myself that "Discovery" would be a suitable name for my EP. However, when I started working on ideas for the title track, nothing seemed to quite work out. So I decided to challenge myself and sample something in my kitchen and turn it into a pluck. I ended up filling a cognac glass with water, until it sounded somewhat close to a B note, and then hit it with a mallet. This is what I ended up using as a starting point for "Discovery".

'Decades' follows the idea of certain concepts in life only being the 'tip of the iceberg'. A good example of this are relationships, because essentially all we get to see as a third party is a summary of what might be years of experiences and memories.
