Tycho
BIOGRAPHY
Three years on from Epoch, the album which earned him a Grammy nomination and saw Tycho’s live show expand into a work of multi-sensory art, Scott Hansen is a changed man. After a relentless cycle of touring, he found himself back home in San Francisco figuring out where to go next, and how to rediscover the passion that had driven his work as Tycho for fifteen years. He’d toured most of the world, racked up over a million monthly listeners on Spotify and walked the metaphorical halls of America’s recording academy, but he knew he could do more. He just didn’t know how to do it yet.
“Epoch for me felt like the end of a long journey in a lot of ways. I felt comfortable I had fully explored a sound and set of ideas I had been chasing down since Dive,” he says, reflecting on the album from his San Francisco home studio. Having ‘completed’ more than fifteen years of work, Hansen found himself at something of a loss. He decided what was missing was structure, so he set about transforming his life. “I focused inward and revisited a lot of my methods from that time period but redesigned them to be more efficient,” Hansen says. “I think I emerged as a healthier person with a better relationship to my work.” Whereas before Hansen’s moments of inspiration had often come “at 4AM after a load of wine”, writing Weather was a more complicated process, one preceded by months of self-discovery, and a lifestyle shift best summarised as swapping sunrise sets at Burning Man for morning surf sessions in the Pacific Ocean.
