Transparent - Singles
Before releasing his first full-length solo album, 'Transparent' Andras decided to make a few songs available as ‘Transparent - Singles’. In May-June 2017 he releases the first three songs of the album as individual songs week-by-week. The titles are:
- ‘Reel’ - a minimalistic string quintet chamber piece with a floating cinematic atmosphere
- ‘Paradigm (Gates Open)’ - the epic 10-minute long symphonic progressive rock composition with a hint of jazz, which is the most monumental piece of the album and
- ‘Sweet Enemies’ the ethereal, elegant pop ballad with crystal clear vocals and simple, teardrop-like clean guitar sounds, aerial arrangements and a heartbreaking guitar solo which drifts on the waves of a 30-piece orchestra.
Although these three songs are sonically diverse, they truly represent the contrasting layers and the intense emotional arc of Andras Adam Horvath’s forthcoming LP: 'Transparent'.

Transparent
For his first full-length album, András Ádám Horvath, the Budapest-based rock guitarist/producer took nearly all of his inspirations in music ranging from classical through jazz and ambient to metal. Although he plays in several tracks, 'Transparent' is not about his virtuoso guitar techniques and his initial instrument is just one colour in a really bright palette, but he composed string quartets, symphonic jazz-fusion pieces and post-rock ballads instead, just to name a few.
He gathered some talented musicians from all around the style spectrum so the featuring 7 compositions are so diverse that each of them are journeys to a different musical universe.
If you mix these unique and varied ingredients together, you can describe what the album 'TRANSPARENT' is all about.
Unsurprisingly it's quite challenging to pick a genre or target audience, so let's just say, this music is for the ones with open minds and open souls: a musical journey on a road built from many different colourful stones where composer and its audience can take their first steps together.
