Natasha Pirard’s curiosity in sound stems from her time studying musicology in Ghent, which in turn was prompted by a musical epiphany she had watching the master of minimalism Steve Reich perform four of his acclaimed pieces in Amsterdam in 2017 at the opening concert of Dekmantel Festival.

However, rather than fixate on the centuries-old classical canon, Pirard’s interest was piqued by contemporary experimental music. It wasn’t until the end of her four-year course that she began testing her neophyte sonic ideas, encouraged by all at DEEWEE. The first results of her trials in sound can be found in Dream Cycles. And given the thought processes that underpin her creativity, Pirard, unsurprisingly, says there is no right or wrong way to experience her always-shifting music.
