Manual with Syntaks

OHM Multimedia Series Presents:

Direct from Odense, Denmark, making his U.S. debut, Jonas Munk under the name Manual creates absolutely epic, lush electronic daydreams, as gorgeous as the sun-set and beach photos that adorn his album covers. After years of playing guitar and piano in various projects, he started to combine electronic with ‘analog’ instruments as Manual. He recently worked with Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins), and Ulrich Schnauss and is also a member of the band Limp, and acclaimed Danish free rock band Causa Sui. He composes music without using a computer, instead using guitars and pianos in combination with old-school synthesizers and sometimes samples to create well structured songs and sound scape-like compositions. He will play songs from his brand new double CD on Darla, Lost Days, Open Skies and Streaming Tides, which is a compilation of unreleased, rare and out of print recordings. Joining Manual is longtime collaborator and fellow Limp band member, Danish electronic artist Jakob Skøtt (aka Syntaks), who will play a solo set before joining Munk.
