This song was inspired by early generative ambient works.  Different melodic fragments dance around each other, slowly evolving every few bars in an ever changing vibe that evokes both familiarity and novelty throughout. Thanks for listening :)

Sunwarper - Generative Function

#RobotSoftExorcismRemix

This is my take on Thrice's new track "Robot Soft Exorcism".  Thrice has been an important part of my musical journey since I was 13 and heard The Artist In the Ambulance back in 2003.  Their constant evolution helped fuel my interest in electronic music and synthesizers, so it felt a bit like coming full circle to put my own spin on this track for their remix contest.  
If you enjoy the track consider giving it a like to help me in the contest :) 
Thanks for listening!

Thrice - Robot Soft Exorcism (Sunwarper Remix)#RobotSoftExorcismRemix

I began making music as Selles in 2013 as a transition, moving away from guitar oriented music and into electronics and synths. This also acted as a way for me to process graduating from college and adjusting to a new life. Five years later, I feel that Selles has served its transitory purpose, and it is time to start something new. I am stoked to finally be able to share with you my new project, Sunwarper! 

“Nightfall” is the first single and a great representation of what is to come from the project. Warped synths meet heavily treated guitars and vocal samples to create new landscapes for the mind to explore. A new EP, The Emerald Trail is coming out October 26!

Nightfall

Sunwarper’s debut full length, Idolon was written as an album to reflect on warmer times in the dead of winter. Created over a year of travels, Michael Jakucs took to his synths and samples to catalog the experience. Idolon travels through numerous auditory worlds to explore the different emotions our thoughts and the environment can evoke. Sun soaked melodies and a cryptic biome of field recordings, create an audible palette which Jakucs uses to craft nostalgia dripped tunes. Songs drift into times since passed, as wistful synths give way to dusty beats. 

Idolon is available now:

Oceanic

“Transpacific” brings two artists on opposite ends of the world together around a love of synths, guitars and music.  The track was initiated by Vietnam based ambient artist Kh3rtis, who brought jazzy, jungle infused beats to Los Angeles, California artist Sunwarper.  From those initial ideas, Sunwarper added in wavey, surf guitars and sunkissed synths to create an expansive track that evokes the different landscapes behind its creation.  “Transpacific” is out now!

Sunwarper & Kh3rtis - Transpacific

“Blue Sky Emissary” finds Sunwarper reflecting on the nostalgia filled summertime bliss of yesteryear. A track of escapism during troubling times, “Blue Sky Emissary” combines a lofi aesthetic with live guitar, bass and pastoral synths. “Blue Sky Emissary” releases on July 17, 2020. Along with a digital release, a limited run of CD and 12” Lathe Cut Vinyl featuring the full live session from the Magic Window Radio Show and several singles from previous albums will be available upon release.

Blue Sky Emissary

A collaboration between Sunwarper's west coast infused, warped surf guitars and Cpektir's woodland, contemplative beats. "Travels in Parallel" is the introduction to the new EP, Lunar Ghosts, a sonic companion for stationary travelers roaming the galaxy within our minds. Pulsating electronic drums meet delayed guitars and warbling synths to prepare for launch into the solar system.

The EP follows a story of space travel, the search for new worlds and slowly getting further and further away from Earth, and all that we know.

This project grew from a couple of tracks traded back and forth into a full EP. With that in mind, Cpektir and I wanted to bring in our friends Kh3rtis, Letters From Mouse, Star Madman and Survey Channel to take our tracks and put their own spin on them for remixes.

Sunwarper & Cpektir - Kepler

2020 was a difficult year, but there were still some moments of beauty to be found. I am so grateful to have found a supportive ambient community to be a part of, and to have made and worked with some incredibly talented friends. With that in mind, I am happy to announce my final release of 2020. Moonwashed is an evening coastal gaze, filled with ocean noises, dusty beats and a contemplative, warped piano.
Thank you for all of your support this year, it means the world to me and I can’t wait to share what’s next in 2021.

Sunwarper - Moonwashed

Sunwarper is a Los Angeles based project creating warped, atmospheric electronic music.  Following several releases under the moniker Selles, Michael Jakucs brings a new emphasis on live instruments and sampling under the new name.  Field recordings and a keen attention to sonic detail create an audible palette which Jakucs uses to craft nostalgia dripped tunes.  Songs drift into times since passed, as wistful synths give way to dusty beats.
