Says Tycho, “Join me in Open Source for the exclusive launch of The Science of Patterns 20th anniversary edition. This is where it all began, the first Tycho release, available for the first time ever digitally.
The release will be the only time the uncompressed audio files will be available for download to date. Head to Open Source to get notified for the exclusive The Science of Patterns release.”
“The Science of Patterns is where it all began, the first Tycho release, available for the first time ever digitally. The release will be the only time the uncompressed audio files will be available for download to date,” adds Tycho. “I had first started experimenting with music in 1999 while working my day job as a designer.
A serious injury in 2001 kept me home for several months and I decided to use this as an opportunity to finish my first official release. At the time digital distribution was almost non-existent so I set out to press the EP to compact disc and self-release it. The files you will receive are the original files I sent to the CD manufacturer, completely unaltered and uncompressed.”
Quick backstory: the reason this album exists, and maybe the reason Tycho exists, is because of a serious injury I sustained. On the afternoon of what was supposed to be my first live performance, I passed out in the middle of a fast-food restaurant in Rancho Cordova and shattered my jaw.
I spent the next six months recovering and more importantly not working my day job. I was able to use that time to write and record The Science of Patterns and hone my overall vision for Tycho and ISO50. I think the injury generally shook something loose and gave me a new perspective on life. I never viewed the world the same after that and decided to devote my life to art. Of course it took years of various day jobs and twists and turns but that moment was the impetus for everything that followed.”
