Tycho is a producer & artist based in San Fran who debuted in 2002. Tycho's productions play out like complete electronic dream pop songs in isolation. What separates Tycho from a lot of artists currently exploring similar sounds is simple craft. Tycho, Scott Hansen Bird On The Wire Presents: Tycho

Tycho (Scott Hansen) is a producer and artist based in San Francisco, California. While Boards of Canada's blissful/melancholic IDM is an obvious inspiration, Tycho's productions play out like complete electronic dream pop songs in isolation rather than vignettes or extended mood pieces. Tycho debuted in 2002 and after the 2006 album Past Is Prologue (Merck), settled in with Ghostly International (also home to Com Truise), where he released the 2011 album Dive. What separates Tycho from a lot of the bedroom-oriented artists currently exploring similar sounds is simple craft. In place of the tinny, synthetic beats favored by lots of indie-ambient startups, Hansen takes extra care to capture real live drum sou
