Odense, Denmark

Manual is the performing name of musician, Jonas Munk, from Odense, Denmark. Manual’s music is considered to be in the styles of and . His sound tends to contain a mix of software synthesizers, guitars (sometimes sampled or heavily processed), and various digital signal processing effects. Mixing elements of pop, glitch, and indie music, Manual is compared to artists ranging from artists, such as Boards of Canada, as well as shoegazer groups like My Bloody Valentine.

Munk’s output as Manual is strongly associated with the aesthetic of Morr Music, the label that released his first two albums. He is also featured on the Morr Music compilation Blue Skied an’ Clear, which was a Slowdive tribute.

However, Munk’s artistic visions didn’t fit into the narrow Morr aesthetic, and in 2004 he joined the American label Darla. Simultaneously, Munk started a psych stoner band called Causa Sui, and they released their self-titled debut album in December 2005.

    Confluence is his best album, I think. It's like a better version of Stars of the Lid's more recent direction. I like his other stuff, but sometimes, the shoegazy guitars and IDM beats distract from the atmosphere. Anyone know of any similar ambient music to Confluence? I'm also thinking of stuff like "Halt Him" by Kettel, "I" by Aphex Twin, and "Opalescent" (the track, not the album) by Jon Hopkins.
