the album leaf

While Tycho's songs sounded faithful to the album versions to someone who has listened to Dive several times, there seems to be a touch of improvisation to the performance.  Surely, Scott Hansen is meticulous in his approach, but the songs feel more organic than those of someone standing at a laptop, and live bass and drums take the show far beyond typical ambient music, especially with the bass turned up so high.   Tycho creates a euphoric atmosphere using organic rhythms, warm tones from vintage synths and ethereal visuals.
