Manual

Manual is the moniker for the atmospheric and ambient music projects of Danish musician, Jonas Munk. Known for crafting ethereal soundscapes that blend electronic production with traditional rock instrumentation, Manual has become a noteworthy name in the ambient and shoegaze music scenes. Starting his journey in the late 90s, Munk has continually evolved his sound, with "Azure Vista" from 2005 being among his most acclaimed releases, masterfully remastered in 2015 to the delight of audiophiles and long-time fans.

Always pushing the boundaries of his sound, Manual's work from 2007 to 2014 is showcased in the collection "Memory and Matter: Selected Remixes, Rarities and Unreleased Tracks 2007-2014", which serves as a treasure trove for enthusiasts of the genre, offering a deep dive into his evolving artistry. His discography, marked by albums such as "Isares", "Awash", and "Drowned In Light", often features lush, reverb-drenched textures that take listeners on an introspective journey. Moreover, albums like "Confluence" and "Lost Days, Open Skies and Streaming Tides" display his talent in blending melody with experimentation. With his recent releases, including the conceptually intriguing "Chill Goblin Snatching Up Bodies" series and the serene "Bajamar", Manual continues to prove that ambient music can be as emotionally resonant and thematically rich as any lyrical composition.
