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 Additionally, his song Cascade (originally made for an Adult Swim/Ghostly International compilation) was played during the final moments of the original 11-year run of Toonami in 2008.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.

Hey folks of the interwebs.
I write this as a 15 year old at 11 pm at night, probably should be asleep right now.
I saw this comment section and decided to make my mark.
So here it goes, it was 2020 and I was in 6th grade and COVID struck.
I went into a spiral of depression and lost 3 years of my childhood thanks to covid and my newly found fears of in person school , due to covid.
I am now in 9th grade half in person hoping to make it fully into highschool next year.
Tycho was a staple of showers and late night worries and just helped me feel not alone.
Me my stuffed buddy and tycho vs my mind and the world.
Point is Tycho helped me out alot still have a way to go before things are ordered out.
Walk the wildside and keep on being rad.
Peace out my dudes.

WOW! I first discovered this album in 2013 during my first semester of University. It was a late night at the library, and I was looking for some background music to help me grind through an assignment. I've been playing this while working for almost five years now. Whenever I play it, I feel so calm, so focused. Tomorrow is my last day of school and thought it would only be fair if I play this one last time. It sounds just as good as the first time I played it. All the best to all of you!
