One Year SC == One Million >> with Friends! 1<3

Future 80's rule! One synth only in its purity. New Synthwave track made with Arturia's rendition for Buchla Easel. I think its the most processor greedy soft synth I ever played. Worth it, rich in sound and possibilities. A single, sequenced synthline, quite automated, plus Ableton on-board 707 drum track. But lots going on inside the tool. Internal sequence is driven by a midi track as well. Only some FabFilter reverb applied, in places. And UAD Tube 610B, UAD 1176 for more analogue atmos. Mastered in Ableton Live with IK Multimedia and FabFilter tools. Had lotsa fun playing it. Hope you enjoy Synth-Meditative journey. TNX! 

P.S. This kind of flow, playing one (or two) hardware or software synths, tweaking and vibing, is the most fun for me lately. Because of the busy times - yes, but can do this for hours, days, years. Hope you find opportunities to connect with your creative side. Stay inspired!

Musically yours! ~ S.P. ~

My first ever recorded guitar instrumental, guys... well, some years ago :) Come as it was played originally, with some subtle 2016 remastering. One day I played this light piano back loop and then improvised the tune with my Cordoba Nylon String guitar. Added few lines of bass, flute, strings, and percs in the Logic Pro. All played on M-Audio Axiom Pro keyboard connected to Mac. Cordoba guitar (on the cover art) recorded through MBox2 interface, I think, or maybe embedded Macbook mic. Track comes from the older hard drive, with as-is guitar impromptu recording, meaning a vintage feeling. Meaning extra charm, right? 

I posted the track celebration celebrating 5,000 SC plays. Way beyond 3 Million by now somehow, woah! Thank you!

Enjoy the mini Indie Disco Dance SYNTHS-phony of grooves and vibes! Yes, it is short by the design. Orders to make it longer are not longer accepted :P  What can you do in 3 minutes, you cannot do in a half?

30 seconds "Speaker Dust Cleaner", folks. Quickly wipes the dust from your studio monitors, headphones and/or sub-woofer 1.5 feet in diameter. Guaranteed :) It's designed to be half-a-minute short. Same time, it indeed has intro, verse, chorus, bridge and outro. Played with ~20 Korg and MiniMoog synths lines and some specks of my Fender Stratocaster guitar. The Groove Surfer is a full original mix (not preview or teaser ;) 

Available for licensing. For example, a commercial for "world goes to a drain", - crazy, risky and "one way" by definition as surfing. You can only enjoy a quick ride and only hope to get there :)

Cheers!
Sam.

The Groove Surfer

I love impressionists (that's why Claude Monet is on the cover) and wanted to explore the same Impressionism in music. There is no single apring, all shorter strokes and drops. Rather hues and hints. The Shadows if you will :) 

Other challenge, I indulged myself was to make this SYNTH-phony, using only MOOG sounds. It was so tempting to play guitar or strings or flute. I wanted to stay focus played my favorite Arturia MiniMoog, Moog Modular, and AniMoog. Otherwise one piano, percussion made in Korg Gadget, produced in Ableton Live 9 with IK Multimedia mastering tools.

 I extracted this quote from Robert Moog, greatly respected engineer and artist of sound, from his interview available on YouTube:

"It is something between discovering and witnessing" - Robert Moog

Some parts, like the wobbly/slides/something sounds you can distinctly hear in the into, I played by hand and ear on AniMoog. This is the iPad app invented by Moog Foundation. You slide over iPad surface to design and create unique vibes and sound colors. I know, if there is someone thinking to "throw a tomato" at the iPad musicians, please prepare one for maestro Jean-Michael Jarre, he-he :D  I'm not placing myself anywhere close, of course, but was so excited, after played this AniMoog part here, to see the one JMJ video, where he is playing the same app for his number one album of the year! In one of Electronica 1 video you can see the iPad on the right, green-ish look of AniMoog. 

The cover art is a fragment of Claude Monet "Water Lilies", 1920s. I took the photo earlier this year, in Museum of Modern Art, New York. I noticed and specifically took a shot of "THE EYES" I saw (see them in right lower corner?). Nice, can spend hours when get a chance. Thank you ALL for the support!

Musically Yours.

Jamn' my Fender Strat the other day, found some nice chords progression. Built something around it same day, using LogicX on Mac. Unrefined and unpolished playing, guys. Layered bass, rhythm and played impromptu solo over. I dug up the rack from a hard-drive, so this couple years recording comes as-is, no refinments. Contains pure inspiration with the mistakes provided :)   Juss having some fun...  :D

Thank you for all for the AMAZING feedback here - Sam PROCK. 

Check out the version, in which Roger played his blessing guitar over this track, the next day  :)))) Appreciate my friend!

Time Speck (feat. Hank Beukema) ~ Open Collab Invite ~

My punk arse needed to play something very raw immediately! Like right NOW! :) Gonna get bumpy and you've being warned! hell yeah, one minute (and now by persistent request two minutes :)! I bet it finishes earlier when you press a Skip button :P  

I broke 3 good guitar picks on my Yamaha electric bass on this outburst! and grinding the Fender Silver Bullet strings on Fender Strat, (couple of those on the cover art... ney I got more solid ones, but soft picks gave nice feel to jamn').  Played by me on Fender Start and Yamaha Electric bass. Used Line 6 Pod XT and B-52 LS-100 Head and 4x12 B-52 cab.

Alien saga continues soundcloud.com/samprock/clubfungus-and-sam-prock-abduction-diaries

"Distant galaxy alien squad descends on the planet Earth. Dark Ages (nowadays). They find dwarf civilization of monkeys... wait ... after close look - Enterprise detected presence of a Godly Particle still. Human. Aliens learned human language by songs. Grasped on the challenges and battles. After closer review collected few gifts of technology for humans. Velcro was just one ... Bad people locked gifts to Area 51 and 53. Only few notes leaked thru Close Eot3K movie ... Not many know.... Same alien squad gifted people the Synthesizer and Guitar Amp. Humanity enlightened. Progress boosted unprecedented during few decades. They had to take Ziggy, Hendrix, Zappa, Marley back. But Love prevailed. Humans played earthly grooves and ancient melodies with hi-tech magic. Aliens and humans became friends. They rejoiced, singing Hasanna." The End

Collab is the best value of SoundCloud! Cheers

The track is in 3/4, at 134bpm. All simplified and consists even 12 bar parts, with drums and bass/pads bits somewhat evolving. You can mix and match anything into a sequence you like, or follow this structure to play/sing along. If you like, send me your new stems, I can add to the stem pack, so others can use it too. Thank YOU!
Started this track out of the blue the other day, planning on playing some Blues, but it turned into this. Then I came across this waves photo I like... So the backtrack name is combination of all those things :)

Prockjets (Singles Collection)

La Mer (Roma Edit)

Why do I have ProckJet acct? To share improvs and daily fun with music, just like this ☮   

I had a blast twisting knobs at my Moog Subsequent 37 CV (on Prockjet cover)for an hour or so, having bassline and lead on top. Other day mixed it with new Wavetable and other synths in Ableton Live 10. Explored Replika reverb by Native Instruments. Just 3 basslines, 3 pluck, and 3 lead synth. Kick from BassISM2. Simple :) 

Hope you find it fun ... or fall a sleep and have a great chill, which will be "mission-accomplished" for Prockjet. Exploring sound and inducing vibe is mesmerizing process. Bob Moog said this in the documentary you can find on YT. I extracted a quote on that:

"It is something between discovering and witnessing" - Robert Moog 

Cannot agree more! Have best inspiration with what you play guys!

..... P.S. Yes, Bolero is my favorite Classical piece. Tops! that I remembered somehow after playing this and listening few days later :) (not calling this any way close to Ravel, just messing up and having Nocturnal fun ... and it was played in the morning. You don't want to hear my late night mourning for sure :P

Nocturnal (Longest Night Nocturne Edit)

Imaging hot summer mid-day, having a rest under a tree ... breeze calming you down ...

Musically I wanted to experiment when played this tune on iPhone the other day. Wanted to invert what we usually play as a background and bring upfront. And the other way around pads and harmony to dominate. Just like how you perceive reality when falling a sleep or having Catnap break. When loud noises do not matter and you hear more of the ambient instead. Directly uploaded from Korg Gadget app on iPhoneX. 118Bpm.
