For nearly 20 years, Scott Hansen, who performs as Tico, has been making electronic music that feels like Rush. But unlike some of the world’s biggest producers, there’s also a consistent line of indie rock to his work. Some tracks are filled with vintage analog synths and downtempo guitars.
Hansen hopes his latest album, Infinite Health, is exactly what it says on the cover. He wanted to make a record that reminded him of why he started making music in the first place. It’s an intimate and emotionally fulfilling journey.

In this session, Hansen talks about what inspired Infinite Health, how advances in technology have made his life easier as a producer, and you’ll hear a live performance recorded in Ogden, Utah.
