Natasha Pirard is an experimental electronic musician whose sound navigates between emotion and intuition. Having studied musicology at Ghent University following a background in ‘arts and sciences’, she blends analogue synthesis, tape loops, field recordings, violin and vocals in compositions where sounds evolve according to their own logic. Influenced as much by Steve Reich’s experiments as by the worlds of Mica Levi, Natasha Pirard is interested in how simple motifs can gradually transform and give rise to new soundscapes. It is at the DEEWEE studio, home to Soulwax/2manydjs, surrounded by tapes and recorders, that she hones her craft. Her first major project, Dream Cycles (2024), a box set of four 120-minute cassettes, marked the start of a series of concerts across Europe. Her next album, Fernande, Cecile (2025), dedicated to her mother and her late grandmother, takes a more intimate turn. It was presented as part of the Maintenant festival at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rennes in 2026.
She has also composed several film scores, including a new soundtrack for Pere Portabella’s Cuadecuc, Vampir.
Based between Ghent and Brussels, she has performed at the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam, at Nuits Botaniques, at the Bikini in Toulouse, and at Huxley’s in Berlin. She has also shared the stage with Soulwax and Ziúr, amongst others.
