Sir Honey (aka Jack Ryon) specializes in experimental electronic music. Complex rhymthic elements meld with evolving harmonies and poignant melody lines to create a synthesis that is rarely repetitive and never boring. Often drawing from organic sound sources (including an expertly played saxophone by Ryon himself) Sir Honey processes and chops audio, and composes soundscapes reminiscent of Eno, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada, and the like. Enjoy!
Why this name?
It came to my girlfriend in a dream.
Do you play live?
I play live jazz often. Electronic music is slightly different, though. I consider it to be closer to DJing when you bring a laptop on stage and press the spacebar and then proceed to get pissed for the remainder of the evening. But, yes, I also do that from time to time.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
People have a very broad audience in front of which to present their material now. It's great. It doesn't speak to the quality of musicianship, but there seems to be more people creating music all the time and that is important on a personal level if nothing else. Technology can be very empowering.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
probably.
Your influences?
