Jonas Munk

Danish musician Jonas Munk has navigated several paths connecting ambient electronic music and psychedelia over the course of his multi-decade career. He first received recognition for his solo work as Manual, which initially combined brittle beats with warm, dreamy melodies before going down a more free-floating ambient/downtempo vein with his subsequent releases. He formed the short-lived electronic post-rock group Limp, whose members later regrouped as the prolific stoner/space rock band Causa Sui. Munk also teamed up with Auburn Lull's Jason Kolb to form the cosmic ambient/drone duo Billow Observatory. Since the early 2010s, Munk has been releasing Krautrock-inspired solo records under his own name, such as 2015's Absorb/Fabric/Cascade, in addition to multiple collaborations with kindred spirit Ulrich Schnauss, including 2021's Eight Fragments of an Illusion.
