Tycho is currently signed to, and has released under, Ghostly International, but has also released music on Merck Records and Gammaphone Records. His song, Dictaphone's Lament, was used as the track on a music video entitled "Live Life to the Fullest", which was made by and featured on the action cartoon block Toonami. Additionally, his song Cascade (originally made for an Adult Swim/Ghostly International compilation) was played during the final moments of the original 11-year run of Toonami in 2008.
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.

I feel the same 2012 was a great fucking year, especially on YouTube. I felt that the content back then was so much better then content today. People were humble back then. I also have a lot of great memories with friends

Not to be a nerd , but I love music that you can listen to and immediately just absorb it. It permeates your skin and you start to feel it in your soul. Music that evokes the prowess of the feelings of nostalgia, adventure, sense of ambition, and even love. All strong and glorious emotions. Tycho definitely has a new fan.

Somewhere, in some part of your mind, that beach exists. That sunset exists. Those gentle waves lapping over the warm sands, they exist. Everything that's joyful and gentle in your life has melded into that one soft image stored in your head. Every hope, every dream, every laugh, every smile, every gentle kiss,every embrace...they've all gone into that single, beautiful image. Thank you, Tycho, for bringing that image back to so many people. In this modern, stressful, painful world...we need it.

Man.. Tycho.. just.. this. This is exactly what amazes me about this music Tycho creates, is the melancholy feeling these songs give me, these ironically happy upbeat sounds give a false feeling of happiness, because it instead hits this soft part of me that I start to remember how innocent and naive I was as a child wanting so bad to grow up not realizing to live in the moment and enjoy childhood while I can not living too fast, now reflecting back on all I took for granted. God damn it Tycho's songs make me long for the good days, it makes me cry.
