Since I heard Hang Massive work for the first time, I got obsessed with the need to hear Hang Drum sound. Now I enjoy playing it too, software of course. In particular Soniccouture as Native Instruments or Ableton Live device. 

Made this track last year, riding my bike along the picturesque hills surrounding Silicon Valley. The grass, burned to Gold for the most time of the year, looks (and smells) great. Giving California its Golden State name.

Ableton Live 11, Arturia MiniMoog, Soniccouture Pan Drum, Omnisphere, UAD Oxide Tape, IK One, FabFilters.

Special here ~ everything is played by fingers on the iPad surface. Native Instruments app, called iMaschine 2, is limited to 4 tracks with 4 patterns over the whole song. Same time it is truly inviting environment for the Beatmaking and doing More-With-Less.

I already played electric bass and Fender Strat, mixing it in. While wanted to post bare-naked iPad version as-is, before I overproduced it in Ableton Live or spooked the charm of "4-track" classic setup :)  

Best inspiration with what you're playing today guys!

Island (Maschine Sanctuary Edit)

In this track I was having a blast Analog Kick produced by Moog Subsequent 37 CV. I think there are fans of that kissing, deep tone you can find on numerous records from 80's and 90's, also established itself in PsyTrance and other Future genres nowadays. 

Un-mastered and under-produced, but I like to share it with exaggerated kick like I played. Will likely beef-up the music part and put in place deeper, trance-ier place in Prockgressive release soon. If you like to have an Analog Kick sample send me a PM, an/or Midi file, so I can run it by Moog (free). I can tune it to the project, as tunning Kick to the song key gives essential effect, that you cannot get by dropping a dull kick sample from any random library. 

Tune it, shape it, stretch, revert it. Push it, drop it, smash, compress it :) Was it the lyrics about Kick in one good Daft Punk song? hehe

The rest is done in Ableton same session. New Live 10 Wavetable synth and  Arturia SEM. Also felt like picking some Fender Strat strings, so it is not jealous all attention goes to Moog lately  :)

Telekinesis (Kicking Moog)

Having some fun vibing and droning on my Moog Subsequent 37 CV. Do you Choon? All mt Prock and Prockjet tracks are 50% split for playlisting:

Here is the full 12 minutes raw analog vibe twisting Moog filters in one shot. Let me know if want lossless file of it. You could grab any chop, tune a piece and mix to you mix (of course free).

Did I say it is one note the whole thing? who needs more! :) 118BPM

Drone (Moog Mode)

In this light tune enjoying pure sound of Odessei - the Korg Gadget replica of the classic synth. It should be fun to play a real one. Made on iPhone X small touch surface.

Thank for bearing with me listening small one session tunes. Let’s keep it alive! :)

Odyssey (Islander Mix)

I played the track this summer, riding trains between Roma, Napoli, and Pompeii. The cover is the photo of Vesuvius eruption victim from Pompeii. I cannot describe the feeling we got spending a hot day in the ancient ruins. I found this session in my Gadget Prockjets on phone. I guess the track translates the feeling better. 

Directly uploaded from Korg Gadget app on iPhoneX. 102Bpm.

Echo My (Pompeii Rumble)

Crazy experimental, you've been warned!  :)

What can be done if you have just one note to play around with? I imagine drones revving over your head (friendly drones).  Caveat, for synthesizers enthusiasts, The whole thing drones on note B, while I was tweaking this huge, luxurious Moog filter and other on my Subsequent 37 CV. I was just having fun exploring the analog vibe, my usual meditation routine, and pressed the record button.  Hope you find it Moogalicious :)

If you feel so, grab any of bits from the longer 12 minute Moog stem on the link. Original, unprocessed and raw, 118Bpm. Slice and dice it to samples, re-tune or else to add some analog drift and twangs to your production.

Just one instrument synthline I wanted to share as-is. To feed our inspiration maybe? Designing sound in one track can be lotsa fun. Bless developers moving music tech to the next level constantly!  

Long time I did not make half-a-minute synth-phonies :) so here is the new one. 18 seconds – reaching to the new heights https://soundcloud.com/samprock/sets/shorts. I value your listening time! (or you can press the l0Op button and make tunes in your head) TNX!

The whole thing is designed with one instrument, recently released Arturia’s creature called Pigments. In line with Serum and NI Massive monstas. Pigments is super fun if you know what you are doing and even more fun if you don’t. Two Wavetable and/or Analogue engines, embedded sequencer and MultiFX. Main feature is you can get everything to move on a spot. Automation of any parameter to several LFOs, Envelops, Functions etc are VISUAL. So you can see and comprehend what’s going on relatively easy. For ex., here I automate wavetable position, reverbs, filters cutoff, stereo pan and other things right in the tool.

Played it last night, having somewhat circus vibe in mind. To my surprise today I came across interesting circus story behind the Beatles song “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!”. Is the “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” one of the most creative and artful albums of all times? So that explains the track name.
