Love to hear from you guys...Did I ruin it???...OR...Did I improve it??? :)

Thankyou for all the continued support and friendship from you all...means a lot... :)

Thankyou For Listening

Shaken Not Stirred...Complete Rework :)

Hip-Hop, Funk, Jazz, Rock, Soul, Electro,...

Un bordel de bons sons, du bon son bordel !

Dive into sweet audio nectar derived from combinations of vocal harmonies fused with saxophones, acoustic & electric guitars, synthesizers & bass.  Pull up a folding chair and watch the sunset in paradise as you let the music take you on an existential journey that will feel both familiar and foreign.  

     BINARY ICON officially formed as a name for a band on a warm and windy summer evening in 1992 at InnerSpace Records Studio, a modified 130 year-old stage-coach station in Montecito, California.   When Ian Renga and Wiley Thrasher tried sounding-out different band names and nothing clicked they decided to each open the dictionary in a random manner and point at a word without looking at the page.  

     Once we found the two randomly picked words we guessed at their meaning:  Since music and the music icons of the future would be relying heavily on Digital to work effectively with synthesizers and acoustic instruments it sort of made sense to be called BINARY ICON.  

A major influence and continuing inspirational fuel is the iconic Guy Guden's Space Pirate Radio, Santa Barbara's ultimate portal to true world music: https://www.twitch.tv/guygudenspacepirateradio

Hey...Thanks for stopping by, I'm sure I've got something in my "Track List" that you will enjoy...From Reggae to Heavy Rock via Blues and I've even got a Retro TV Theme in there :)

Besides being taught the basic chords at the age of eight I am completely self taught. Sadly this also means that I don't read music, relying on my "ear" to pick out lines/playing styles/tracks etc :) But hey...I get by ok...don't I??? :)

Born, Bred, Raised and Living in Edinburgh Scotland. I'm a family man and fully trained Head Chef who never lived up to his musical potential...I'm sure that must stand for a few of us...yeah?

Met and listened to some fantastic musicians and beautiful people. Keep The Faith Fellow Muso's...There's room for us all!!! :)Enjoy the tunes, Thankyou for listening.

I'm makin' this up as I go along.  Here you will find songs in various states of completion--some of them actually finished!  Most are by "Moon to Monk",  but there are tunes by "Blond Weasel" (a band I'm in with my brother Christopher).  There are several collaborations with talented people.   I hope you find something to dig here. 

PS:  I have several original music videos posted to "youtube", and "facebook".  Please check them out if you like.  Just click the appropriate links below.
