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 Additionally, his song Cascade (originally made for an Adult Swim/Ghostly International compilation) was played during the final moments of the original 11-year run of Toonami in 2008.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 was impressed by this entire album, but this is the song that made my jaw drop. Some next level stuff right here.
Autogen // Drone Atlas
Absolutely fell in love with this track from the first listen, this is by far the best track on the album, for me
ginny lidlow
Autogen Fully agree. Maybe their best song period.

I listened to this live, closed my eyes so that I could appreciate it better. The moment I did, goosebumps started running up and down my body. For those good 4 min I was floating, somewhere else. One of my favorite tracks for sure.

El mejor tema del album; una ambientación increíble. Ideal para escucharlo con unos buenos headphones d-_-b
Mark Acevedo
The names of all the songs on this album make me think it would be an excellent score for a space sci fi that fixated on isolation.

This brings to mind an image of walking against strong winds across a vast, hilly desert at twilight

Nick Sisco
Simply amazing and original stuff. Ozric Tentacles, TAUK and now...Tycho.

I love how nostalgia is a major theme of Scott's music, and why you can always count on him to play some great early songs at his concerts. Dictaphone's Lament is an encore essential. This album is a great mix of new influences and echoes from earlier works.
