Autopilot-11

Bunker is a collaborative music project that started as Autopilot's personal endeavor in 2015. In 2016, KAL joined the project during a busy period of grad school, immigration, and adjusting to new life circumstances.

With their diverse musical backgrounds, Bunker creates a sound that blends electronic elements with influences from TripHop and Funk. Most of their tracks feature instrumental sampling and carry deeply personal stories, functioning as an audio journal that reflects their experiences and emotions.
