Tycho is the project of Scott Hansen, along with guitarist Zach Brown and drummer Rory O'Connor.
For this episode, I spoke with Scott in front of a live audience in San Francisco.
Coming up, he'll break down the title track from the 2014 Tycho album, Awake,
including a note he misplayed and a vocal part you aren't really supposed to know about.
I'm Scott from Tycho.
I think I was really intimidated by music.
A couple of my friends had guitars.
It just seemed like you had to be the guy who had the guitar to play guitar.
You couldn't get into it.
For me, it was just like, that's not something I do.
I was a visual artist.
