Miel Noir started out as the solo-project of Dimo Dimov. Later Marcel P. joined the project.
Ever since, Miel Noir has undergone a radical expansion, turning it from an experimental 1-man-project into a full-blown band, covering a wide variety of styles.
The first album of Miel Noir as a band, HONEY & ASH, was released by Steinklang Industries in 2011. The second album of Miel Noir as a band, FROM THE ASHES, was released by Indiestate Distribution in 2015.

According Wikipedia: Ambient music is music that is designed to be part of the environment, heard but not specifically listened to.
The music which goes under the project name Synop is NOT designed this way!
Music made from the Tech City of The Netherlands: Eindhoven. Also the city of one of the first Electronic Music Pioneers, Kid Baltan and Tom Dissevelt 1959, worked with looping tapes and generated some of the first electronic music.
My music that goes under the name Synop is not tape based but designed and made with a large amount of virtual instruments and the Maschine.
Publishing music started with the more beat oriented project Red Pony (published at Bandcamp) and changed with the name SynoP to more dark and atmospheric sounds
Keywords: Dark, Ambient, Adventurous, Winter, Late Hours, Uncomfortable,  no borders and so on..

If you have any dark ambient track(s) please submit them for consideration. Preferable the darker then dark ambient sounds:

I'm a percussionist and composer. I have a BFA and MFA from CalArts in World Music. I specialize in non-Western percussion, particularly from India (tabla, mirdangam. khanjira, ghatam, thavil) and Africa (djembe, dunduns, and Ghanaian drumming). I compose percussion oriented music and dark-ambient, atmospheric, sci-fi soundtrack sounding music, which you can hear here: http://www.SpaceageFurnitureMusic.com

A.I. Awakens is the first recording in the Spaceage Furniture Music series by Chris Armstrong. The title of which is inspired by the 1960s recording, Space-Age Bachelor Pad Music by Esquivel. The term, "Furniture Music," was coined by composer Eric Satie  to refer to music used as a sonic backdrop rather than as the primary focus of a listener's attention. It is music that provides an ambiance and sets a mood.

The music for A.I. Awakens was chosen for its atmospheric and generally "cinematic" vibe. It is programatic, in that it depicts the evolution of artificially intelligent robot-insect, macro/nano bot type beings from servitude to sentience and then, soon afterward, to total neural cascade failure...a false start in the rise of artificial intelligence...but leaving the door open for possible future successes...and more recordings in the Spaceage Furniture Music series.

This recording is my first major undertaking as a composer and is dedicated to the memory of James Tenney (1934-2006), American composer of, in his words, "unpopular music." I was lucky enough to have taken several of his classes at CalArts and had in-depth conversations with him about composition and the theory and practice of experimental, contemporary "art" music.

He was always very generous with his time and also very patient with my many critical statements and questions about modern music. He once wrote on one of my papers: "I'm very surprised at your ultra-conservative attitudes about music. I wonder if there's anything I can do to help change your mind." He did eventually help me to extend my aesthetic boundaries a bit and I'm very grateful to him for that.

Other CalArts professors who influenced my ideas about composition through discussions and/or classes were: John Bergamo, Art Jarvinen, Marc Lowenstein, and Stephen "Lucky" Mosko. Thanks for your patience and wisdom as well. 

Wave reaches sensory input. Stimulus transforms to current. Signal travels through neuron network. Electric burst creates perception. Pattern recognition generates psychosomatic response. Gland emits substance. Thought pattern decoheres. Subject enters meditative state. Social-situational information lost. Emotional response bound to auditory system. Effects persist for duration of trial. Memory area reformatted. Experience subsequently perceived as real.
