TYCHO
The Tycho Open Source Community is an innovative platform designed to foster deeper connections between Tycho (Scott Hansen) and his fans. Launched to provide an inside view into Tycho’s creative process, the community offers exclusive content such as unreleased music, live streams, behind-the-scenes footage from the studio and tours, and more. Members are encouraged to actively participate in collaborative projects, including design competitions and remix opportunities, allowing fans to showcase their creativity and contribute to Tycho’s artistic journey. This community-centric approach not only empowers fans but also creates a dynamic space for artistic exchange and collaboration.
At Supereight Studio, we thrive on pushing creative boundaries, and our passion for design recently earned us first place in the TYCHO Open Source DIY Competition.
The competition, launched by Scott Hansen (ISO50/TYCHO), invited designers to craft custom artwork inspired by the Open Source album’s aesthetic—an opportunity to explore Tycho’s signature minimalist, atmospheric visual style while adding a unique creative perspective.
After an exciting selection process, Matt Hamm, Supereight creative director's design was chosen for the final round of voting, where the Tycho community ultimately crowned it the winning entry. Being recognised by both Scott Hansen and a passionate creative community was a huge honour, and it reinforced our commitment to producing bold, impactful design.
This project was not only a testament to our ability to create visually compelling, conceptual work, but also a reminder of the power of community-driven design. We look forward to more opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and bring creative visions to life.
