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, who has released three albums of minimal ambient music. Since the early 2010s, Munk has released multiple collaborations with kindred spirit Ulrich Schnauss, including 2021's Eight Fragments of an Illusion.
