Cinematography & Direction for Tycho's Japan

Tycho has been one of the biggest inspiration into my career and we had featured his work during the early days of hottopbest. Digging through our archives, I have found an article dated from 2008, Scott aka TYCHO is a California based musician. He started his career through his work as ISO50, and you should definitely check out the design of the current site, that hasn't changed much for the past decade. Somehow I am totally loving this visual appearance. Here we are, introducing Tycho's Japan new track where we are also attaching stills from the delightful, vibrant and colorful video clip directed by Charles Bergquist. With my personal love for the beautiful country of Japan, you just can't help it with these moody musical tones.

When I wrote this track I had just returned from spending some time in Hakone, Japan with my wife's Japanese relatives. This was right around the time I was starting on this album and I was thinking a lot about the kinds of instruments and methods I had been using when I first started making music in the late '90s. With 'Japan,' I was trying to recapture a part of that sound and combine it with the imagery and experiences from my time in the green forests of Hakone.
