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.

cara eu te vi em um vídeo do meiaum ou eu to doido? @@lav-kitty
you know its gonna be a good album when the people who made it don’t even exist
what do you mean they dont exist, are these just like aliases for noboboko?
@lulin2546 pretty cool, never seen a double name alias
@@Wuchta_art oh buddy, wait till you learn about Lapfox/Halley Labs...
They gone and made up whole fake backstories for both of them too
@@onioneroI had a feeling it was all fake when I was reading it! Bummer!
I met Victor Fritzche in Montreux back in 1987, he was a guest of honor at the Festival of Jazz and we kind of stumbled on one another in a coffee shop. I expressed my admiration for his work on Gato and we had a nice chat about it. He recalled the days spent working with David in a stuffy Sheffield studio and how seamless the recording process went for most of the album. According to him, the synth progression for Werewolf with Pants was massively inspired by the popping exhaust of a Triumph automobile that was passing by their avenue during lunch. David got obsessed with the weird cadence of it and spent a solid hour riffing until it became the synth bass line. He said it's the one thing he remembers the most about working on that album, and he gets a kick out of telling people about it every time.
Also, fun fact, he always subconsciously snaps his croissants in half. I asked him about it and he said he doesn't think about it, he just does it to make sure the croissant's not rotten like David's was way back then. We had a good laugh about that.
Ah I remember listening to Gato back in 1983... this was back when I was in college and the drinking age in Texas was still 18... they took that away from us the following year.... But I'm also rather thankful because I would have never entered the inescapable ketamine vortex with David Wojciechowski & Victor Fritzsche had I been drinking beer at the bars!! Really brings me back
In university high as a kite listening to this album right now haha
wait ur lying
lmfaoooooo
Really? Do you still have a disk of it? I might wanna take a listen to the old version.
I'm playing along.
I showed this album to my parents and talked about the backstory in the description. They were nodding along and my mom correctly predicted the style was something from the late seventies. They completely believed it, and I don't blame them. It's extremely authentic to the point where you can just.. let yourself believe. Such a great piece of music. (Obviously I told them afterwards and we had a good laugh about it)
told them what, it's an album from 1978, what were you laughing about.
in an alternate universe this was actually a real 1978 album _(and everyone is furry)_
Imagine if this actually released in the 70's. that'd be insane
if it was, i could imagine people saying what they do for most albums back then, you know, the whole "This was ahead of its time!!!" type stuff. (mind you, are they wrong?)
it literally is
it was released in 1978
@@06TRSTN what are you talking about
@@CaptainVaughn0 look at the little text on the back cover, it says it is. and its on the internet which means its true
It took me a long time to realize this wasn’t actually released in 1978 and it’s just lore. The fursonas on the album art really should’ve given it away
Fantastic record btw! It’s like a bossa nova Mort Garson, love it
bro i was so confused about everyone in these comments here. thanks man!
what are you talking about I know this album because I found it in my grandpa's record collection
My dad is a huge Victor Fritzsche fan so he used to play this album A LOT when I was a kid. I still like listening it from time to time for the nolstagia.
hmm yeah it'd be a real shame if this Victor Fritzsche guy DIDN'T EXIST!!!!!
@@alpine488 what do you mean he didnt exist? ofc he did. I remember when i was little my dad also played this album all the time. that you only knew about them now doesnt say they never existed, haters
@@LokiDFerret mb but i don’t think this album was written by either of them
@@LokiDFerret ok yeah i did some more research i though he wasn’t real but the album isn’t. not a hater btw
@@alpine488 man its obvious that we are all following the lore
this album gives me the vibes of a deep blue ocean, glittery with the reflections of unsleeping city lights. it's sparkly and wavy, but the darker tones make you want to sway around and get lost in the sound. very funky, groovy, yet also very chill. love it!
love that description. really improved the vibe for me!
@@franciscopostigogarcia2694 i'm glad! i'm also grateful for your reply since it brought me back to these lovely grooves :)
@@toastiino :3
My wife is out of the country dealing with family affairs. It's our first time apart in seven years. We're very close. A day or two before her flight, we discovered this album for the first time. It proved a common bonding point and a source of calm vibes. Thank you.
time apart makes the heart grow fonder. enjoy the music!
i love everything about this. the sound, the characters, the art! it's all so spot on 👌
I've been listening to this album since January, when My life finally started to be a calm and healthy place for me, this is My safe , happy music. Today is My birthday and I feel really greatful for the creation of this album. Art is so important for human well being. thank You nobonoko ❤️
Happy late birthday!!!! \(^o^)/
@@PrimordialAngels Oh thanks!!
My father used to be a David Wojciechowski hardcore fan, he says David was his inspiration growing up
Ughhhh I can't believe how good and interesting this album is.
It grew on me HARD.
This album is hard to skip through because the composition is so dang interesting and layered all over.
- I used to skip Sea Bus but I keep thinking about 2:26 in context of the rest of the song and it's so damn good.
- If I had this on vinyl, it's possible the grooves containing Werewolf With Pants would be unreadable today.
- The motif at the end of Gato is so good... nanana-naaa-naaa-naaaaaaaa
- Soft Rain starting with a muted melodic motif it keeps throught while adding rhythm in crescendo... This one feels like it desperately wants lyrics
- This is the first time I've heard an album ending that both feels climactic while not exhausting the listener.
Incredibly easy to listen to, the music equivalent of popcorn I suppose.
CARAMBA! VOCÊ É BRASILEIRO E TÃO TALENTOSO! SÉRIO QUE UNDERRATED!
EU QUASE SURTEI QUANDO NOTEI
@@thallito IGUALMENTEEEEEE
the fact that you didnt only create this beautiful music but gave the entire thing amazing artwork and and entire backstory and lore makes me love it so much more!
Wow, this album has really stood the test of time! Sounds fresh even to this day.
It was released in 2023 :p
@@SnowShip-qb3ltnope, released December 1978
@@cubit404 damn
The date is made up. The album is produced by the girl or guy that produced this video. Both the people that made the album are also fake. @@cubit404
Remember coming across this album on a whim back when I bought my first new car in 79.. :) Good times and many miles cruised to these tunes!!! They should make a return!!!
Literal beepbox/jummbox geniuses. Blown me away.
I'm glad my instincts make me check out every cool album with a cool cover from start to finish. I'm in a happy life!
David allegedly got a rotten croissant. "I've got a rotten croissant!", exclaimed David.
Not gonna lie I'm impressed with the sound quality and post-production, groovy af
🐺: "🥐💩‼️"
Allegedly, of course
I'm not gonna lie, this is the best studying music I've ever heard. I'm gonna play this song anytime I need to lock into something. This is truly an amazing album.
Wish this was on Spotify, love it!
Same here.
I understand the convenience aspect for listening on spotify, but I respect them for not putting their music on a service that barely pays artists a pittance.
This is a really lovely album. Listening to it while driving is the chillest commute ever.
Awesome chat and awesome music, best premier everrrr!!!!!1!1!
Oh my goooodddddddddd!!!!! I bought this instantly but wow I did NOT realize this was another themed album!!! I love your style and how creative you can be with music, and the groovyness is off the charts aaauuuuuuuuuggggghhhhhhhhh!!
KEEP MAKING MUSIC I LOVE THIS!!
AND IF IT DOESNT KILL YOU PLEASE PLEASE MAKE MORE ALBUMS LIKE THIS AND ANIMAL CAFE, WITH A THEME!!!
Werewolf with pants is so funky, I love it
no way youtube just recomended me good music
I didn't mean to click on this but gosh am I glad I did. Thanks for uploading this, it's just what I needed to get through these last few hours of January
Mano vc despertou novamente o interesse e carinho que tenho por albuns experimentais dos anos 70 a 80. Muito obrigado, tu és um grande artista
Lovely album, brings back memories! I think at least two tracks were inspired by the great Bill Navidson's soundtrack to the 1973 movie 'Goncharov'. Some segments of 'Puzzle' really resonate with Navidson's 'Clocktower' used in the famous finale of the movie.
BILL NAVIDSON LMAOO
Assoluto capolavoro, non è possibile che non l'ho ascoltato mai. Grazie mille.
Really hear the Mort Garson inspo in some of these tracks, love that!
Simply divine, from the music, art, and story. A masterpiece.
Think I've listened to this almost once a day for a couple months now, sometimes multiple times
Right??? God. It's peak
Been listening to since yesterday. Best of '23 like all your relases.
Honestly, best album cover *and best album ive found made not by a giant company*
Holy crap, I think this is my favorite release from you yet. Absolutely love the art direction and the music (duh). Amazing work once again!
Ah yes, I remember listening to David and Victor when I was a small kid, the good old days, no worries just these kitten jazz all day!
I really like this album! ¡Buen trabajo!
This music feels like a nice riverwalk down in some place in Japan and I love it all
There's no way this was made in the 70s, this is so smooth and fresh and clean and it sounds like some niche shit that would be released today, genuinely beautiful
It was made between 2022-2023
@@canaconn2388 Oooh so the samples are from the 70s and the songs were created in '22-'23 I think
I think it was made a year or so ago but made to sound like it's from the 70s. I really did think it was from the 70s at first with how it sounded. They did a great job!
I don't think I commented on this before.
But ever since you released this album, it's gotten me through some hard times.
It hasn't even been that long since it's release either.
When you released this album, my pc broke the day before, and I had to fix it myself. This album helped me stay calm over the course of the week it happend.
Just last weekend of news years eve I had appendicitis and listened to this album before and after my surgery and it helped me stay calm aswel. I can't thank you enough, this album always brings a smile to my face! :D
This is so different and cool and like, thought out and compositional. I for sure knew Nobonoko could do really interesting compositions but I was lulled into a sense of easy-listening chill and wasn't expecting anything like this.
This album is so chill!!! I love it so much...
YEEEAASSSSS WEREWOLF WITH PANTS FINALLY HAS AN ALBUM TO CALL HOME!!!! i dropped my phone for the 497th time dancing along to it
the artwork is amazing as well the music. i love this chanel
I love how you go into detail about the history of the album and the artists who made it, makes you feel more connected to the work
I can't believe I've been listening to this music for months (maybe even a year!) and all this time I believed there really was a brazilian composer called David Wojciechowski in the 70's who was also a furry. I was so happy too, I even told my friends and family. Sure it's an unusual name for a brazilian, but our country is so diverse, and some of the music really have that bossa nova swing that was popular in the 60's and 70's, so I didn't question it too much. Either way, love the music, the art, and the fact the you gave these characters such detailed backgrounds. Great job overall!
One of the most catchy alblums i've ever listened to. Great work!
I've had really bad few days. This calms me so much, i feel better, thank you
Dude it's 1 AM and I was looking for something to watch here and the album cover got me, the story was very convincing! But the music, man, that was awesomeeeee, you should release every track separately, that's pure art
this album is now representative of my first semester in college
I'm feeling immense things from this and I'm not sure what it is, but I love this music so much!! I seriously can't find words for how it feels! Thank you so much for this upload. I'm so glad it popped up in my recommendations! 💖
Haven’t felt this happy listening to an album since Todd Terje’s “It’s Album Time” - just puurrfect! ❤🐈⬛
The lore you make for your albums is actually awesome
This a real good album to draw to!!! So groovy, it makes the cogs in my brain turn and spin!!! How wonderful!
I feel calm when I listen to your works☕️☕️☕️
Love the early-to-mid-'70s soundscapes! I'll definitely be listening to your other works!
Have you heard ELP?
Cassiopeia is another good one, more like this album.
Man, I need your music on Spotify.
happy to see people playing along with this fictional 1970s album
this is absolute perfection and i love you
nossa por aguns segundos quando abri o video, eu realmente acreditei que era algo dos anos 70, parabens muito bom, otimo
This music is great and the album cover too! I feel nowadays so little thought goes into the art of the album cover, but this one really stands out. Bravo!
I legitimately could listen to this the whole day. I love the vibes of your more "vaporwavy" projects, and this is probably my favourite one, this is the perfect kind of music to put in background while reading something or just chilling
Also love the small backstory you posted on the description, david and victor are pretty skilled, hope to see more of their stuff soon
Thanks Nobo!
Just bought the album, really great work!
Can tell in the first few bars this is gonna be awesome
I have been listening to this all week tbh. Just from a RUclips reccomendation! Sometimes the algorithm works 🎉
Cats! Nice chill music. And the art of the two on the right look cute!
Commenting again because I've been loving this at work since I found it. Really great stuff 👍
Amazing as always, nobonoko!
And amazing chat, too!
This is amazing!!! Got me dancing in the kitchen even though I'm hungover
THE ART AND MUSIC IS PERFECT
lmao i thought they had furries on the album cover in 1978
the first thing this reminded me of is yellow magic orchestra and casiopea. this is so nice its such a vibe.
edit: WHAT David Wojciechowski & Victor Fritzsche are not real actual people ?!?! whoa that is cool theyre characters in a story ! like splatoon bands !! this is awesome. the more i look at the cover art the more i like it. i love them
man Tears of a Galaxy is wa y too short I could listen to that for days. such smooth beats!
One thing that makes me sad about loving older music is that all of it has already been made and there won't be more.... Unless folks travel from the past and release some today! :)) the old synths and everthin, they got it down really well.
This made doing the dishes significantly quicker and less stressful. Thank you.
it has arrived 0:
gonna listen to this before i go to bed, thanks for the tunes :-]
You did well RUclips algorithm. Really enjoying this work. ❤
really like the vibe! great album art as always :)
Absolutely phenomenal stuff, really glassy and playful
Very calming and nice🤍
i commented on bark st already about how much i love this album but realized i never actually commented on the album itself!! i seriously adore this so much, there is so much about every song thats great. ive probably listened to this five times already? i just love the vibes, im so impressed that you use Jummbox for such authentic sounds! i love the frutiger aero hints within this too i doubt that was intentional but it just gives the jazz a slightly nostalgic feel. 2:28 reminds me of pokemon dppt for example, i could go onnn and on. thank you so much for creating this piece of work, nobonoko! and i think the album art is soooo clever
this feels like a soundtrac to a game i WISH i was playing, another stellar album!
I found this on Christmas. Absolutely stunning work. Puts me in a melancholy trance.
Amazing!! Hits the right vibe :3
holy shit this is good. The only way i can describe it is that it sounds like chill jazz from space. It makes me want to shout "I've got a rotten croissant!" in a London cafe.
This is the perfect thing to listen to while I'm trying to speedrun my final assignment before the semester ends, keep up the good stuff man 👍
this album has night in the woods vibes, love it sm, bought it on bandcamp
Tears of a galaxy lives in my head rent free
Id immediately buy this if it was on vinyl, this is stellar!
genuinely one of my favorites of yours so far, your work just always rocks :-)
absolute banger, chill af, helps me in tough times; 10/10
Wow!! This album is endlessly good! Each song is so rich and full-feeling. Really love the art too.
Im in love with your style. Your channel has become the "music theme of my life", i always put it when im doing something !
Very nice wind-down music after a long day
This is so cool!! I love how it has a story behind it as well!
I'm so obsessed with this you have no idea!!! Love your unique style of music!
Gato is a nice interpretation from the old classic "Mon Amour" by Alan Hawkshaw and Brian Bennett back in 1974. 😻
Thank you for this birthday present Nobonoko!!!!
Your music never disappoints me, keep it up
