2. NESHH: THE ART OF MUSICAL COMPOSITION THROUGH SAMPLES AND LOOPS
Neshh, a young 18-year-old composer living in Paris, launched into musical production around 2-3 years ago. Since then, he has focused exclusively on composing samples and loops, preferring to integrate the rhythms of other beatmakers into his melodies to create new work in a direction he would not have imagined.
Exploring different musical styles is a habit for Neshh, but his favorite genre remains music with a jazz/soul color. Chords are a central element in his compositions, because they provide a unique emotion that he does not find in any other musical style. He thus wishes to transmit this emotion through his creations, by seeking to give a very sampled sound, reminiscent of the original soundtracks of films from the 60s and 70s.
Before getting into music production, Neshh started picking up melodies by ear on a piano app on his phone, which inspired him to want to compose. He downloaded software to start producing his own music. Again, he began learning to improvise on the piano to create even more authentic melodies.
Neshh draws his influences from various sources, such as American artists Kanye West and Brent Faiyaz or jazz pianist Bill Evans. However, he considers that his inspiration does not come directly from what he listens to, but rather from the atmosphere of a film or a particular place, or even from a simple image. He thus wishes to merge his musical styles with those of other artists, even if they are very far from what he does.
Neshh has big ambitions for his music, considering he is still at the beginning of his journey. His priority is to perfect his technique to become excellent in his art, but he also aspires to disseminate his music and to work with many artists, particularly in France, such as Green Montana, Luidji and Baby Neelou whom he recently discovered.
For Neshh, musical composition is a hunger in itself, and he enjoys creating for the sake of creating.
