Sunwarper is a Los Angeles based project creating warped, atmospheric electronic music.  After bringing a newfound emphasis on live instruments and sampling on the EP, The Emerald Trail, Michael Jakucs has crafted a new sonic world to explore in the debut full length, Idolon. 

Taking a deep inspiration from the world around him, namely the seas, warm climes, and the dense, claustrophobic cityscape of Los Angeles, Sunwarper is both a reflection and an escape from the present. Songs travel the spectrum of electronic music, exploring and weaving together Synthwave, Ambient, IDM and Trip Hop, with live instruments like guitar and bass to pave new pathways.

Sunwarper’s debut full length, Idolon was written as an album to reflect on warmer times in the dead of winter.  Written during a year of travels, Michael Jakucs took to his synths and samples to catalogue 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. 

After a trip to the lush greens of summertime in the Swiss Alps, Michael Jakucs turned to his synths and guitar to catalogue the experience. Bright, crisp synths introduce the song’s mountain air inspired melody, building into a monumental peak of percussive bass and booming beats enveloped by warbling synths and infectious guitars.

My first experience with electronic music and what made me want to discover how to create it was the ambient works of Eluvium, Brian Eno, Helios and others like them. I've tried to add a bit of that type of music into whatever I make; however, I've always wanted to explore that more fully. With that in mind I've decided to create a year long project that will have me creating and releasing a new ambient vignette every month. I will be putting them on YouTube and Facebook as a video series, and at the end of the year will release all of them in an album format. I hope you will all join me in this project and enjoy the journey. Thanks for listening :] Watch the full video and subscribe here: https://youtu.be/lH6v4Yv4rE0 #newmusic #musicmonday #sellesmusic #sellesvignettes

It's hard to believe it's been 4 years since I was here. Being away from everything I knew for over a month and seeing another part of the world is still one of the best experiences of my life. #sellesmusic #wednesdaywandering #cliffsofmoher

Work has begun on the new EP. Im stoked with how these songs are progressing. I think you'll find it's a natural progression from Sunwarper, but also the start of a new chapter for Selles. #sellesmusic #fenderstratocaster

Following the dark yet melodious nostalgia of Sunwarper, Selles is back with a new single that represents a momentary reprieve from the chaos of our times. Nuzzled in the hazy warmth of summer, “Life Aquatic” begins with the sounds of a shoreline, before diving into the waters’ deep. The song utilizes manipulated field recordings, guitars, booming bass and washed out synths to create an atmosphere that is both memory filled and contemplative. This is a preview of what is to come in the next year as I return to the studio to begin work on a new EP.
