Back To Mine : Tycho

Description

Known for his photography and design work under the name "ISO50," Tycho's music is a blend of various stylistic elements, particularly in the indie/electronica world, mixing downtempo guitar, analog synthesizers, and ambient elements such as breathing sounds and excerpts from weather reports and dialogues. For most artists featured on Back To Mine, music has always been their first love. For Scott Hansen, however, it was all about graphic design, drawing, and photography until a friend in college gave him some damaged audio equipment. "I had just ventured into electronic music via early drum & bass, and suddenly, my mind started wondering how music was made and about the whole creative process." It was this passion for LTJ Bukem and Roni Size that laid the groundwork for the career of the San Francisco-based producer, composer, musician, and creative force behind his two-time Grammy-nominated project Tycho. Intertwining carefully crafted visuals with a thrilling combination of ambiance, samples, guitars, and synthesizers, Tycho's story now spans six albums since the arrival of "Past Is Prologue" in 2006.
