Tycho a.k.a. ISO50: Featured Music, Style & Art

Scott Hansen is a California-based musician (Tycho) and artist (ISO50) who collaborates on the iso50.com blog with: Jakub Alexander, who runs the Moongadget record label; Alex Cornell, who is a student at The Academy of Art in San Fransisco; Sam Valenti IV, the founder of Ghostly Records International; and Beamer Wilkins, who runs a software firm and creates electronic music instruments.

Hansen describes his view of design as, “the search for efficiency. Efficiency in conveying a message, efficiency of form. In this way I see some of my own work falling into the category of design, while some of my other work falls under the umbrella of illustration. With the more illustrative pieces my primary goal is to create something beautiful or striking in a visceral sense. These goals remain intact when I create a purely design-driven piece, but there is the added goal of minimalism and efficiency which constrains the process and limits the content. It is these constraints that force us as designers to reveal the core of the idea we are trying to express and to seek the most direct route to it.”

We unanimously agree at Brasky that Hansen’s music, style, and design is excellent, though he makes it clear on his blog that he doesn’t want anyone to take his work too seriously.
