News for Early 2011


Greetings my Friends,


Happy New Year to you and yours. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year, filled with peace and happiness!

Thank you so much for your support in 2010. When I decided to return to the music business in late 2009, I was not sure what my reception would be. Thanks to you, I have been very gratified by the warm response to my new work. As a small way to express my gratitude, I’d like to offer you, my friends from Myspace, NETSHOWS, ReverbNation, SonicTribe, Facebook, Jango Radio, YouTube, BlogSpot, Twitter, IM Radio, Soundclick, etc., as well as my personal friends and great students from Hanyang University, a free track from my new release “Hungry Ghosts” (release dates are 7 February in the UK, and 1 February everywhere else). To get the free track, you need a special “Download Code.” To get your code, email me at passingphasemusic@gmail.com. Put in the subject “free download code”; that’s all (unless you want to send me a message). Please note that email addresses will be added to my email list for future mailings, but NOT SHARED WITH ANYONE! After I receive your email, I will reply with your code. When you have the code, you can go to

starting on 1 February and download the track (download in many formats) “Pas de Deux” for free.

NOTE: Only 500 downloads available, so “first come, first serve.” Again, this is a small way for me to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support, which I hope will continue.


As you will see at Bandcamp, I have also released a new EP, “Surfing the Microcosmic Orbit: Video Themes, Volume 1.” In the summer, I will release a new CD, “Wu Wei,” containing experimental/electronica/ambient material. I also plan to release more EPs and several new videos in 2011. I am currently working on 3 new videos, and have recently created a second homepage, and updated my original one. Rather than bore you with all of my news (if you’re interested, the homepages are detailed), I direct you to these links:

I am please to announce that on January 18th, I released a new music video, “Appearance is That…” another collaboration with visionary artist Red Hawk, S.O.D.A. You can watch it at

On 14 January, I had a one-hour interview on LA Talk Radio, during which we premiered 3 tracks from my forthcoming CD, “Hungry Ghosts.” The link to hear the interview is (please note, the radio show, “The Sheena Metal Experience” is 2 hours. I was the second guest, so my part starts about 60 minutes into the link):

On 31 January, I will have a 2 hour UK CD Premier show on Music World Radio on the DJ Readman show from Oxford. The show begins at 8:00 PM (UK Time) and as it is Internet Radio, live streaming is available internationally

I am now affiliated with the Buzz Media Network, which is based in Chicago, Illinois (USA). They asked me to host my own show, featuring ‘documentaries’ and observations about my life in Seoul, Korea (where I live) and the other countries I frequently travel to. The first shows have already been filmed, and will air starting next week. To announce the show, they did a feature on me in Buzz magazine

NME (New Music Express) a prestigious music publication from the UK, selected 8 of my music videos as ‘best of’ from 2010

Two of my songs are receiving regular airplay on Jango Radio

On January 18th, I received a nice write-up in New Music Weekly

Lastly, on a very interesting educational site about musical genres, “Know Your Genre,” on the “Electronica” page, I was selected with 3 other artists (one is Bjork) as being representative of that genre. There are 7 videos on the page; 3 are mine! Quite an honor

There have been many interviews and reviews recently, as well as increasing radio airplay of my material internationally, so if you are interested, the information can be found on my homepages, including where my new CD will be available. I hope you will consider purchasing the physical CD. The fidelity is excellent, and it includes a 24-page full color booklet of cool art.


Quotes


Selected reactions to Lee Negin's "Hungry Ghosts" album:


"Mixture of ambient and electro pop. Very much a mind-bending trip of sounds. Outstanding album -- great on loud systems."

--Paul Readman, Music World Radio 1


"The whole album is a floating trip of sounds and vocals that takes you to another place."

--Demand Records, U.K.


"Lee Negin is hitting what seems to be yet another apex in his music career."

--Chris Constantino, SonicTribe Network


"Sometimes people who have had near-death experiences say that they are taken to a place where their entire life flashes before their eyes, and in 'The Dance,' that's what I felt."

--Sheena Metal, LATalkRadio


"A stimulating listen. So take some time to ponder intellectual relativity and the space aliens living in your inner ear."

--John Shelton Ivany Top 21


And, in refusing to review it, the venerable New Music Express said it was "A bit too far off the wall for us."
