Scott Hansen, known professionally as Tycho, is a multi-instrumentalist, record producer, composer, and design artist who also works under the name ISO50. Tycho’s music is challenging to categorize but is often associated with IDM, downtempo, chillwave, and post-rock genres. Notable tracks include “Awake,” “Dictaphone’s Lament,” and “A Walk.”
While Tycho heavily incorporates electronic elements, his live shows feature dynamic instrumentation from himself and his bandmates: Zac Brown (guitar, bass), Rory O’Connor (drums), and multi-instrumentalist Billy Kim.
Tycho’s discography began with the release of his first EP, The Science of Patterns, in 2002. His albums Epoch (2016) and Weather (2019) were both nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Dance/Electronic Album. Fans can look forward to his next album, set to be released this fall.
Tycho first performed in Montana last year at The ELM and evidently enjoyed the experience, as he is returning for two shows this year. Don’t miss the opportunity to see Tycho live!
