Sacramento-born chillwave producer Scott Hansen, also known as Tycho, received a Grammy nomination for Epoch, his 2016 album of ambient electronic instrumentals that seamlessly blends live instrumentation with drum machines and DAW production. Backed by a live band for most of his performances, Tycho finds a middle ground between live instrumentalists, sampling and electronic synths. This Tuesday at The Catalyst, he’ll be joined by Australian electronica and lo-fi artist Mild Minds, who received acclaim for his 2018 debut single, “Swim.” Mild Minds draws from other electronica influences like Bonobo, ODESZA and Caribou.
