Natasha Pirard- Fernande, Cecile
'Natasha Pirard returns with her most personal project yet, dedicated to her mother and late grandmother, whose care shaped her life. 'Fernande, Cecile' is a photobook of songs, weaving voice, field recordings, synthesizer, and violin into an ode to her matrilineal line. Pirard lost her grandmother at seven, yet Fernande's warmth stayed with her as a touchstone. Her mother, Cecile, has been a constant presence, guiding her through difficult years. Alzheimer's-her grandmother's illness-and the fragility of memory permeate the work. A conversation with her mother sparked the album: over coffee, Cecile placed a hand on her heart and said, 'If I ever develop this disease, don't forget I'm still here (inside).' That moment became central to the compositions, which translate Pirard's gratitude and love into music as tender as possible. The music moves in fragments-notes, chords, loops-evoking gardens, sunlight, and childhood afternoons. Rhythms shift like life itself, carrying echoes of loss and the persistence of memory. Ambient textures brush against her voice and instruments, sometimes punctuated by her grandmother's favorite bird. The album unfolds in two parts: Fernande, capturing her grandmother's warmth and fading recollections, and Cecile, honoring her mother's care and resilience. Track titles trace memories while the music drifts through longing and gratitude, articulating what words cannot.
