Transparent by Abe Dunovits
these songs have been improvised on the spot lyrically and musically…spontaneous…automatic writing…freedom of creation…no grammar no meaning implied …..meaning constructs itself as it goes…semantic mantras…romantic notions of pure abandon in expression…not even trying hard sometimes…performed using an unschooled approach
I am replying musically to my own despondency about the current state of the arts in the modern world…expressing angst with youthful energy…trying to grab some cosmic vibes…riding on the wave of modernity…these are circular songs…the beginning and end of the beginning of a music journey of epic-ness in song…
why can’t i be now a fat, old, ugly male? With my insecurities ,low self-esteem and self-deprecation? Nobody told me I was beautiful when i was young. Nobody noticed me.
all my life i’ve suffered internally from what other people think, whether it’s my body, my name, my religion, my place of birth, my heritage, my language, my ideas…Time to not care, time to say it like i want to, time to express myself freely, free from constraints of music industry standards, free from time and timing, free from structures, free from in-tuneness, free from ethnicity, free from songwriting rules, free from style fashion fade, free from form, free from genre, free from validity, dance free, free from what others think, time to connect with my free body mind spirit soul, free to roam!
to me transparent means being truthful open spontaneous true to yourself unafraid of showing who you are in part, expressing anxieties desires influences ultimately feelings
modern music doesn’t say that much to me (and what do you want it to say?) That's what my dad would say, and I'd reply...what do YOU want it to say?
it’s an primal mysterious, and alternative album, certainly not for everybody, especially people that have liked my previous material, but i feel i need to express these musical desires that go beyond culture, style, rules and preconceptions.
Music doesn’t have to make sense. Lyrics don’t have to rhyme and make sense. I hope listener gets something out of this and that the music inspires and uplifts others to do good in the world.

We don't need another music hero. We need more love to share, honesty and transparency. Abe's music is
sometimes cryptic, mostly uplifting, explorative and experimental, sometimes electronic and epic, but mostly songs of hope in an increasingly difficult world. .
