Natasha Pirard is an experimental electronic musician working with emotive translation and intuitive play. Inspired by the lineage of female musicians forging paths outside traditional frameworks, her compositions combine analogue synthesis, tape loops and acoustic instruments 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 meaning of sounds of everyday life, whether in subtle environmental detail or broader social contexts. Releases include the four-cassette ‘Dream Cycles’ (2024) and the highly personal songs of ‘Fernande, Cecile’ (2025), dedicated to her mother and late grandmother. She has performed at Oude Kerk in Amsterdam (2025), Les Nuits Botanique in Brussels (2024), Le Bikini in Toulouse (2024), and Huxley's in Berlin (2024). We couldn't be more excited to have her at this year's Horst Festival.
