Tycho’s Epoch is the final album in the trilogy beginning with 2011’s Dive, then 2014’s Awake and culminating with the new album. This period between Dive and Epoch marks a significant maturation for Scott Hansen’s continually expanding project, one that has taken him from a solo performer and bedroom artist to fronting a live 4-piece band on large stages across the world.

Epoch hones the sonic aesthetic of Dive while drawing on the kinetic energy of Awake, it explores darker themes and new musical territory. Epoch was produced and recorded by Hansen predominantly in his home studio in Berkeley, California. The album was arranged alongside long time collaborator and partner in the project, Zac Brown. Brown contributed bass and guitar parts to the songwriting process while Rory O’Connor performed drums on the album. Hansen sees Epoch as a multi-dimensional artistic vision at the confluence of his graphic design work via ISO50 and music with Tycho. The graphic presentation of album artwork is as important as the music itself. The keystone is the central image of Epoch and the colors scheme red and black. This is a stark contrast to the almost rainbow palette of Awake.

When discussing the surprise element of this release Hansen said, “I’ve never been fond of the ‘hand in the album then wait 4 months for it to come out’ release schedule. I wanted to be more connected to the people consuming the music.” He continues, “There is a kind of visceral fulfillment you get from sharing something that you’ve just created with other people. We just finished mastering the album in late august so it will barely be a month old when people hear it. That’s a very satisfying feeling as an artist.“

Hello Scott,

Hope you are well and you seem to be doing great I wish you all the best in the future!

I’m a 44 year old ex-graphic designer and oil trader who has started a new oil brokerage recently, however my passion is for music production and I grew up listening to hip hop on the streets of South East London and then moved to Australia and I’ve been listening to lot’s and lot’s of ambient chill out relaxing music however you term it, I really enjoy your stuff (more than others and I’ve been watching and interested in the whole thing marketing etc) and it has inspired me to build my own studio in Perth (maybe can send show you some photo’s) which I’m close to setting up (it’s taken a bit longer than I thought wiring it all up..) anyway I just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration and I’ve learnt a lot and maybe see you on the next Australian tour.

Cheers,

Lee
