We sat down with the brilliant Helena Casella, the Ghent-based artist making waves in the art scene with her first album
“Pit Of Impressions” released on W.E.R.F.. We spoke about the her music influences and the implication of her band in the creative process.
WHO’S HELENA CASELLA?
Helena: I’m a singer, composer, pianist and writer from Ghent/
I explore Jazz, Soul, R&B, Brazilian Rhythms mostly in my music.
DESCRIBE YOUR ALBUM IN THREE WORDS:
Helena: It’s soulful, it’s warm and it’s personal.
I feel like it’s something that very much displaced me as a person.
That’s the main purpose of the the vibe of the album which I want to give to the listeners.
WHAT’S YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS?
Helena : I usually start with, chord progressions on the piano, and I write on my own. they’re little sketches that I kind of like collage into a song. So it’s like little parts of songs that I kind of, just, create. And then, I add lyrics after that, and then I bring it to my band, So I’m usually already thinking of like how I want the groove to be what I want each instruments to be playing so it’s very directive but I love the instrument and the musicians in my band to really shine out and be able to put a bit of their own style in the music
