Gareth Emery justifie l'appel aux ghost producers

Par Olivier Brilleau

Sur son profil Instagram, le DJ producteur Gareth Emery a publié une longue tirade sur le sujet des ghosts producers, ces producteurs de l'ombre qui réalisent un morceau en entier ou en partie, mais ne figurent pas dans les artistes du morceau en question.


Sur ce sujet Gareth Emery Gareth Emery se montre clair et explique qu'il a lui aussi fait appel à des ghosts producers, mais dans certains cas particuliers : "Sur certains morceaux ou remixes, je n'avais plus de temps et j'ai demandé à quelqu'un d'autre de faire le gros du travail pour finir mes démos. Alex Sonata a travaillé sur mon remix pour Lost Frequencies. Craig Connelly sur mon remix pour Ferry Corsten..."

Ghost producer lui-même


Dans la suite de sa publication, Gareth Emery Gareth Emery explique lui aussi avoir été ghost producer : "Il y a prêt de 10 morceaux dans le catalogue du label Armada / Garuda dont j'ai été ghost producer pour d'autres artistes à l'époque."

THE GHOST PRODUCTION LOWDOWN (LONG). . I frequently get asked if I produce my own music. . This is a way more complex topic than people generally realize but here's the lowdown. . Firstly, I don't have anything against using engineers to polish up a track (even though I rarely do it myself). . I mean, if an artist has written the melodies, the song, it's no big deal having someone else work on the production. Did The Beatles produce their own music? Of course not. . Now that's very different to artists who can't play a single note of music and simply buy ready-made tracks off the shelf.... which is basically taking someone else's art and passing it off as your own. . Me? On most of my good tracks I did *all* the production. . Not because I'm against getting help, but because nobody else could do it how I wanted. I did all of: . Concrete Angel. Sanctuary. Reckless. Mistral. Sansa. U. Tokyo. Long Way Home. Exposure. Metropolis. .
But I've done some tracks, mostly remixes, where I was running out of time and someone else to do the heavy lifting to finish my demos. Alex Sonata worked on my remix of Lost Frequencies. Craig Connelly on my remix of Ferry Corsten. . In those cases I wrote the music. They're still Emery tracks. They're just tracks I wouldn't have got finished otherwise. . On the flip side, there are about 10 tracks in the Armada / Garuda catalog that I ghost produced for others back in the day. . In all honesty I'd fucking love to find a permanent engineer to finish up my tracks. . It would allow me to focus entirely on writing music and songs, rather than spending 4 hours tuning a hi-hat that nobody notices anyway, and I'd likely release more music as a result. . But nobody else really nails it so for now, it's me. . Side-note: my fav person to collab with is @ashwallbridge . We think about music in absolutely the same way, and can both do every bit of the process. On balance, he's the better engineer, and I'm probably a bit better at melodies, but together we're a lethal fucking team. Except to see a shit load more records from us soon. 👊🏻 .
