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, whether in subtle environmental detail or broader social contexts.
While trained in classical repertoire, she formed a keen interest in the space between historical music theory and contemporary experimentation, taking inspiration from Steve Reich’s phase shifting, as well as Mica Levi’s varied works, and the lineage of female musicians forging paths outside traditional frameworks as recounted in the documentary film Sisters with Transistors.
