<h1>Willem Gator</h1>
<a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Antonymes_1.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-11659" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Willem-Gator-1-226x300.jpg" alt="Willem Gator" width="200" height="265" /></a>Willem Gator creates a unique blend of downtempo beats, fat basslines and a multitude of oriental and orchestral instruments. He creates music that is not only about ‘place’, but also deeply embedded in its own place of construction and composition. His pivotal 2011 album <em>Hong Kong Express</em> is testament to this approach, composed while the artist lived in a ‘cubby hole’ apartment in Kowloon.

<div></div>
In "Hong Kong Express" fat basslines create Berliner style patterns pulsating through landscapes of oriental instruments such as the Erhu, Zheng, Sanxian and swarms of Chinese percussions. While you listen to these tracks, you'll be able to see and feel the places, faces and ambience of the streets in Hong Kong and of the smothering cubby-hole in Kowloon where they were conceived and almost completed.

2008
<div></div>
<em>Touch me and i will save you</em> is Guiseppe Musmeci's sophomore release under the Willem Gator moniker, preceded by the debut <em>Musica Orchestrale per sordi. </em>The album is a gorgeous tapestry of atmospheric down-tempo counterpointed by a number of more urgent and angular electronic beat driven explorations. As with each Willem Gator release <em>Touch me and i will save you</em> has a unique wholeness to it and expands when given the full album listening experience.
