Mirian Kolev is a musician and multidisciplinary artist living in the Balkan Mountains and working in the field of experimental, electroacoustic, ambient, improvisational music and sound art. Over the last 10 years he has taken part in over 300 events in 29 countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. He also works on collaborative projects with other musicians, visual artists, dancers, performers and composes music for art installations, videos and dance performances. He is using sound as a tool to explore different environments. His work focuses on uncovering  hidden sonic landscapes, using sound to reflect the intersection of human-made and organic worlds. He has always been inspired by nature and environment in his music, but in his recent projects, he has engaged with the environment directly through field recordings, contact microphones, and sound-generating devices. Beside that on live performances he is also using processed guitar and small machines. His music is minimalist, atmospheric and discreetly psychedelic, and improvisation is an essential part of each of his live performances, turning it into an expressive soundtrack of time and space. At times his music is gloomy, at times cosmic, and melancholy is often present in it, as is the world around him.
