Roméo Poirier
is a French electronic musician whose work centers on the heavy processing of samples and digital collage. Blending intricate sonic textures with a deep sense of time and memory, Poirier creates music that feels simultaneously nostalgic and mysteriously ahistorical.
He has released acclaimed albums on a range of forward-thinking labels, including Kit Records (Plage Arrière), Sferic (Hotel Nota), and Faitiche (Living Room), the imprint curated by Jan Jelinek. His compositions are known for transforming layers of temporal fragments into a fluid, pulsating continuity—an auditory meditation on memory, environment, and perception.
Poirier’s upcoming album, Off the Record, is set for release on October 10, 2025, via Faitiche. The album is an entertaining and conceptually rich tour de force: 14 miniature collage works built from accidental studio recordings and conversations—a clandestine dive into the hidden soundworlds of recording sessions past.
