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 Additionally, his song Cascade (originally made for an Adult Swim/Ghostly International compilation) was played during the final moments of the original 11-year run of Toonami in 2008.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

0:00 to 0:15..Im closing my eyes, seing pixels floating around, we are going in circles..
0:15 to 0:25, Then they became stars upon the sky as if i was lying beneath a tree.
0:25 to 0:35.. im starting to see further, into something deeper. Shapes are starting to come and go.
0:35 to 0:52.. Im starting to see space, as we are floating around this world of pixel stars. Still holding my eyes closed.
0:52 through the whole song.. I can see and follow a whole new world. Im seeing life now. Hard to explain.
That was my trip after drinking tea with mushrooms, lisstening to this masterpiece, no joke. I swear this song is beautiful, and underestimated.
Cheers.

I close my eyes and a cascade of light falls upon my face, like rain on a summers day. Thats the first 30 seconds for me. I adore this tune.

I love this song, how it builds up, how there're so many layers... Saw Tycho in Fort Collins and was really blown away during this song. LOVED IT.

@GuppyPal ayyyy thats pretty cool, I bet that’s how my mom got into this music because we’re natives to northern Colorado.

Heard it first time in Hohokum. Nice thrill chill and a bit magical starship at the same time. Don't need to be high, just need to appreciate art. Especially interactive art like Hohokum, Journey, and Gris.
