[08.08.18][diary] GOODENT Director Lee's Cyworld entry


This was taken a few days ago at the risk of my safety when I drove past North Gangbyeon Road ^^

Sunset tends to give people a very surreal feeling.

I'm now listening to the final mixed version of HS's 3rd album Side 1 as I write my diary entry
(I'm definitely not trying to make all of you angry ^^)
The last step in the production process is just to handle the master tape.

Most albums usually require one or two mixings. But we probably did about 8 mixings for the title track for the 3rd album.

Awaken, Fantasy, Propose, Waltz etc... These are the introductions to the songs in the 3rd album....
Some of these names are the actual titles of the songs... Some have nothing to do with the songs

The purpose of making this album is to make music.
Just like what a critic once said... In a market where style and trends are the focus, we just want to make music.

No extravagance... the meaning of music and things like these.

We just want to be able to let everyone hear every single sound that is contained within a complete song.
Including what they call the world's most perfect musical instrument, the human voice, as well as the piano, the guitar, the bass, the drums, the brass instruments, the strings, the vocal backup voices etc.
Although the mixing now isn't 100% satisfactory
But I can say, that I personally feel that we're almost at the level that we had hoped to achieve... ^^

From next Tuesday onwards, complete information about the 3rd album will be released.

At that time everyone will understand the meaning and significance of Side 1 and the title of the album.

Everyone will be able to know more about the style of the album, the songs, the album jacket, the MV and the promotional schedules from the GOOD website and news articles.

During the recent holiday, a certain TV station went ahead to release a video of the album jacket photoshoot....

It was probably a welcome surprise for everyone, but that disrupted our plans a little. That was all because my oversight.

Probably by next week you will be able to see the album which we have put so much effort into preparing.

Everyone will probably be very excited to open up the album, or to listen to the album via the music websites....

My personal recommendation would be... to listen to the title track while you're in a travelling car watching the sunset

I assure you that it will be a moving moment

For the first few times you have to enjoy HS's voice... I know more than anyone else how everyone is looking forward to hearing his voice...

After that I'd like to recommend everyone to listen carefully to the guitars, the drums, the bass, the piano, the brass instruments, the vocal accompaniment and everything else that makes up the songs...

You will be able to understand the reasons behind my recommendation.

If someone asks you "why are you listening to the same song over and over again"
Please use the phrase that we have popularized... "Leave me alone... I just feel like it" ^^

We're almost done with the preparations.

Maybe you might see HS singing the title track from the new album earlier than expected.

So from Tuesday onwards, please look out for news about HS....

I'm getting very excited too... ^^
