Released on December 15th, 1978, Gato was a collabortive project between Brazilian Producer David Wojciechowski and British score composer Victor Fritzsche. Around the 1970’s, both musicians had a background of working primarily on production music for television and commercial use under the BLOCKYEEN label.
David is a classically trained pianist, keyboardist and electronic music pioneer. His early works often drew inspiration from Latin jazz, blues and easy listening and frequently combined the usage of synthesizers. Victor is a producer and multi instrumentalist from a funk background. Through the 1970’s, he mainly worked on scoring themes for TV shows and films. With him also being an electronic music pioneer, his scores would heavily feature the use of synthesizers, with some soundtracks being completely arranged on electronic instruments.
As the story goes, David and Victor met in a café in downtown London. David allegedly got a rotten croissant. “I’ve got a rotten croissant!“, exclaimed David. The two then saw moderate success on their carreers and frequently collaborated in music.
Gato was the first full album produced by the two musicians. Their goal was achieving a haunting, slightly dark yet serene atmosphere. It was inspired by David’s sight of a cat when walking to his studio at night. Such cat was later confirmed to not be a cat, but rather a lambecabra, a smaller, feline-like variant of the chupacabra. This detail has never been revealed to Fritzsche and never will.
Gato was later rearranged by David in 1987 for Orangelime’s album Electric Jungle Critters.
