Roman Hiele (1991) is a Brussels-based musician and composer
whose work explores the boundaries between improvisation and electronic
composition. His music unfolds as a living system of shifting harmonies,
fractured rhythms, and unexpected turns.
At the core of Hiele’s practice lies a deep fascination for contrast,
where his soundscapes act as both anchor and disruption, sharpening the
emotional depth of images and spaces, a sensibility that extends into
his collaborations with filmmakers, visual artists, and designers.
Emo Inhaler is an emulsifying force, blending these threads into a single, fluid whole. The record condenses compositions born from improvisatory explorations and electro-acoustic experimentation. Recorded and concluded across various studios and train coupés, Emo Inhaler is expansive, yet tightly woven, creating a singular sonic identity that explores Hiele’s own world of musical off-key vignettes, balancing between light and sinister. With Emo Inhaler, Hiele reaffirms his place as one of Belgium’s most adventurous and distinctive contemporary voices.
