Odense, Denmark
Manual is the performing name of electronic musician, Jonas Munk, from Odense, Denmark. Manual’s music is considered to be in the styles of ambient dream pop and indietronica. 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 idm 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.

@cpdomina & @ xXTransystemXx Thank you so much, both of you. That album is absolutely incredible! One of my favorite collaborations for sure. Do you know if it will EVER be released to the public? I mean, I could snag it through Audacity, as i'm sure alot of people have already done, but i'd feel much better if I could have it legitimately :)

@WavesofMagenta Officially, nowhere. The album wasn't released to the general public. You can preview the album on this webpage, though: http://blog.pedigreecuts.com/ Just click on the album cover (Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk - PED A010) at the header of that page

@exotic248 - go for Manual's collaboration with Syntaks ("Golden Sun"), it`s my favourite after "drowned in light". you'll be delighted. than try his work with Ulrich Schnauss (Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk - "Epic"). his first two albums are still very good too (especially "Until Tomorrow").

Manual`s remix of Karola Bloch (by Port-Royal) is truly, madly, deeply fantastic. ten times better than the original version.
