Pilar Aguilera: in conversation with Abe Dunovits

Pilar Aguilera first came to 3CR as a 17-year-old, first as a volunteer, then as a producer and presenter. In 2001 she worked as the first Ethnic Resource Coordinator for the station. Pilar joined the Committee of Management in 2018, as well as the Programming Sub-Committee; she is now Chairperson. She has worked in book publishing for 20 years and is a committed social justice/human rights activist.  For this Rotations, she interviewed partner and musical genius Abe Dunovits. Abe has contributed with music to a few programs on 3CR; writing the theme music to Completada Bailable as well as Radio Capucha as well as being a guest on various programs. Abe has been making music for a few decades.  There is a musical melange in his mind that drives him to create triumphant music, literature and art, which has been described as unconventional, inspired, avant-garde, luminary and memorable.   Visit Abe's website http://abrahamdunovits.com/  You can also go to https://3cr.org.au/rotations for a full list of hyperlinks, as well as previous Rotations programs and hosts. We played the following tracks: Sometimes - Abe Dunovits (From new album released in 2020 Sigh of the Times) Corruption - Ray Unit (One of the first songs Abe recorded under alter ego Ray Unit)  Live in the Moment - New Cosmick System (One of Abe’s bands, released 2011) Medio Mundo - Funkalleros (Abe’s band formed in 2004, a cumbia-style song on album Casserole of Humanity which was not released online)  Obstinacy - Ray Unit (Samples from brass music, not online) Lockdown - Abe Dunovits (new improv album Transparent, released 2021)  Say It - Abe Dunovits (new improv album Transparent, released 2021)
