Hansen began releasing music over 10 years ago with The Science of Patterns EP. His first full-length, Sunrise Projector, came out in 2004, and as the critical acclaim continued in 2006 with the release of Past Is Prologue.
It was around 2008 that URBmagazine noted Tycho as one of the Next 100 artists to watch, and Hansen continued to release singles and experiment with more live instrumentation. In 2011, his meticulous process saw the release of Dive, his debut full-length for Ghostly International. Tranquil, nostalgic and melodic, the record established him beyond the realm of IDM and ambient.
Now with Awake, Tycho's second Ghostly LP, the project returns as a true three-piece band comprised of Zac Brown (guitar, bass) and Rory O’Connor (live drums). Lengthy touring for Dive brought Tycho to its full potential, and in efforts to capture the energy on the road Hansen invited Brown and O’Connor in to the creative process. Both the sound and artwork of Awake capture Hansens stylistic shift, conjuring a more kintetic and percussive sensory experience.

Tycho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
As the lyrics to Sunrise Calendar are instrumental, there are no words to interpret. However, the absence of lyrics does not mean that the song is devoid of meaning. Tycho's Sunrise Calendar is a piece of music that evokes a vivid and contemplative feeling. Its dreamy and atmospheric ambiance creates an overall sense of calm, and the composition is an invitation to introspection and reflection.
The song's repetitive melody, warm acoustic guitar chords, and subtle electronic elements blend seamlessly in a cohesive and harmonious whole. The song evolves gradually, building up intensity with added percussion, synths, and cymbals, before descending into a peaceful and serene conclusion. It paints visuals of a beautiful and tranquil morning sunrise, making it an ideal track for background music, meditation, or relaxation purposes.

Tycho's music always makes me think of sitting up on a hill somewhere watching the sun rise and a new day begin.

When I hear this music I imagine myself gently sinking into the abyss of the ocean.
