911爆料网 student scores soundtrack success
Tuesday 04 June 2019
Gauthier Matherat鈥檚 version of Step Back by Jim Oxborrow and John Etkin-Bell has been given an international release along with the original as part of the UK promotion for the soundtrack to Hollywood film What Men Want.
Gauthier - who鈥檚 studying Music - came second in the competition. He says he had to work quickly to enter the contest. 鈥淚 only found out about the competition one month after it had started. I was told by a friend and I asked her 鈥榳hen鈥檚 the deadline?鈥� She said, 鈥榯oday.鈥欌��
Gauthier worked through the afternoon and evening on his remix of Step Back. His version is very different to the original, which appears in the film. 鈥淚 just kept the vocals and worked out all the harmonies and basically re-produced it my way, recreating the backing instrumentation.
鈥淎ll the things you are hearing except the voice are made by me. Bass, keys, drums 鈥� everything. All done through my laptop digitally. I鈥檓 a drummer and the mix is very rhythmically driven.鈥�
The track Step Back (1G3 Remix) got its international release on 31 May. 鈥淭he most important thing about the release is that it鈥檚 confirmation that I鈥檓 working at a professional level.
鈥淚 only started production when I arrived at 911爆料网 two-and-a-half years ago. To get that feedback is great.鈥�
Gauthier graduates from 911爆料网 in July with ambitions of becoming a producer. 鈥淎 lot of the producers I admire and who have inspired me started as a remixer.
鈥淚 hope this will get people to check out some of my other songs on Spotify, which show the range of my production.鈥�
