A unique experience centered around experimental ambient music, immersive sound, and visuals, with 360 projection by Spacemakers, with music by Hiele and Natasha Pirard.

Roman Hiele 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.

His new album, 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.

Hiele's fairy-tale ambient compositions and Natasha Pirard's meticulously woven electroacoustic tapestries, in a unique setting with 360 video. Slow listening under a blanket of live visuals.

‘Fernande, Cecile’ is geen tussendoor-plaatje maar een album dat je als een zijden sjaal omhult. Alles komt goed, of toch voor even.

Zoom in

Natasha Pirard is an experimental electronic musician whose sound moves through emotive translation and intuitive play. Her compositions combine analogue synthesis, tape loops, and acoustic instruments such as the violin with voice and field recordings. Small motifs emerge and unfold, returning in ways that trace patterns over time, letting listeners inhabit the evolving textures at their own pace. She pays close attention to the sounds of everyday life and how they carry meaning.

While trained in Musicology, she formed a keen interest in the space between historical music theory and contemporary experimentation. Her academic background informs how she structures sound and attends to its internal interactions.

Her newest project Fernande, Cecile (DEEWEE), turns inward. Dedicated to her mother and late grandmother, and the matrilineal in particular. The album draws from memories shaped by early childhood and family transformations, stirred through the effects of Alzheimer’s and the impermanence of recollection. The deeply personal songs emerge from memory and the traces these relationships continue to shape, developing a sonic language that seeks to articulate what words alone cannot convey.
