It wouldn’t be summer in Vancouver without rain would it? Yesterday the weather was absolutely gorgeous. It was sunny, there was a slight breeze, and not a cloud in sight. Today I awoke to torrential downpour. I may as well say it now; I hate Vancouver’s weather. Whenever the weather is overcast, grey, depressing, or pouring rain in the middle of summer, I turn to music to keep me calm. My default rainy day music is usually Bob Marley, but today I will show you my secret weapon.
From what I’ve heard, not everybody likes the sort of music that Scott Hansen creates, but in my experience, everyone I’ve showed it to has loved it. Scott is primarily a graphic designer, and a damn good one. He also happens to have has two alias’. The first is ISO50, his blogging name. He runs a blog where work and music he appreciates and sometimes his own originals are presented in a beautiful format. It’s definitely worth checking out. The second alias is what I wanted to show you. Scott makes music under the name of Tycho. It could be classified as dreamwave, lo-fi, shoegaze, ambient, or any of a large handful of names for downtempo and relaxing music. Just tune in, zone out, and call it whatever you want.
I definitely belong on a small island in the tropics somewhere,
Grant.
