New CD Update! 새로운 CD 업데이트! 新しいCDを更新!新的CD更新!नई सीडी अद्यतन! ซีดีปรับปรุงใหม่ נייַ סי דערהייַנטיקן! CD تحديث جديد! I have finished mixing my new CD (15 tracks), and it is now in London, being mastered by the great Pete Maher (U2, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, The Rolling Stones, etc). The artwork is almost complete (with Korean artist Juyong Lee). Still time to pre-order a copy before the May release! After listening to/watching my work for free all these years, do the karmically correct thing and donate to the cause :)  Info at http://leenegin.com/ Support indie music, or be condemned to 'style' without substance!

Taking Pre-Orders Now

You are cordially invited to help save an endangered species—soon to become extinct: the recording artist (in particular, me). Just as ‘video killed the radio star,’ Internet has all but killed the recording artist and high fidelity audio. Between illegal downloading, streaming, piracy, the decline in CD sales, Youtube and other free sites like soundcloud, revenue can only be generated by playing ‘live.’ Recording artists-- especially independent ones-- and the album as an art form are becoming extinct. With MP-3s and streaming (and the ubiquitous ‘earbuds’) high quality audio is no longer deemed important.

I am soliciting Pre-orders for my forthcoming CD, a limited pressing to be released sometime in May. To help to defray the costs of having the CD replicated and professionally mastered, and the cover designed, I am taking pre-orders. I contemplated ‘crowd funding,’ but in order to be successful one needs a crowd, and the whole business makes me rather queasy. I am independent, and I fund my musical projects 100% (with the help of credit cards). Visa loves me.

The CD is a collection of 15 tracks, part of an ‘opera’ I have been toying with for a few years. It is an album, NOT a collection of singles. The material is a potpourri of musical styles, including: techno-pop/funk, ambient, jazz, experimental, electronica, classical, world, psychedelic, rock, etc. (my usual mélange). The tracks were recorded, produced and mixed by me in my studio, and I have been fortunate to obtain the services of one of the leading mastering engineers in the world, Pete Maher in London. Pete has mastered, among others, U2, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Patti Smith, The Rolling Stones, etc. High quality audio is of paramount importance. I have also hooked up with an up-and-coming Korean illustrator/cartoonist, Juyong Lee, who will create the cover art.

I have several options available for pre-order, from a standard CD in shrink wrap, up to a 24-bit .WAV file of the album burned by me directly from the final master.  Details follow.

Help save a recording artist and the album as an art form. Thank you for your consideration.

안녕하세요

제가 서울 스튜디오에서 직접 녹음, 믹싱하여 제작한 새로운 CD를 한정적으로 선주문 받으려고 합니다.

이 번 앨범에 담진 14개의 트랙은 오페라처럼 하나의 주제로 이어져 있으며 techno-pop/funk, ambient, jazz, experimental, classical, world, psychedelic, rock등의 음악장르가 믹스되어 있습니다. 이번 앨범에 특별한 점이 있다면 U2, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Patti Smith, The Rolling Stones 등의 유명 밴드의 음악을 마스터링 한 런던의 Pete Maher가 마스터 엔지니어로 참여하였습니다. 또한 CD 커버 디자인은 한국의 떠오르는 신진작가인 이주용(일러스트레이터/만화가)씨가 맡아주었습니다.
