ycho is the music project of San Francisco based artist and producer Scott Hansen. As Tycho, Hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend off into the horizon. Known in the design world as ISO50, Hansen’s bucolic, sun-drenched design style serves as a backdrop for the music

which so closely echoes his visual sentiments. Hansen began his foray into electronic music with 2002’s The Science of Patterns EP which was followed in 2004 by his first full length, Sunrise Projector. Both garnered critical praise and underground success leading to various collaborations and projects. 2006 saw the release of Past is Prologue on Miami-based IDM imprint Merck records.
