definite get a video game soundtrack vibe

Very cool track Sam, lovely sounds and vibes.

Yeah! This taking me in so deep...Wow beyond words 💕👄💟

Love the sound design with that kick just cutting through all the sweet sawtooth synths there!

A really unusual track - great full sound and distinctive melody :)

Why do I love listening SoundCloud artists? Every time I hear authentic, free flowing art in music, I imagine fellow Indi musician dreaming, imagining, creating, and so do I ...

4 Million Plays - Thank You!

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!

Patrol (Single Soft Synth - Buchla Easel)

Happy Summer Everyone!

“Uplifting Chillout” - Prock 2.0 style. The main guitar-synth tune is played by hands on 4x4 Maschine+ pads in a scale mode, very handy :) Also Ableton Live 11, Arturia, IK One, UAD Oxide Tape, Teletronix LA-2A, FabFilters.

My mancave on the cover. Its also featured in the new The Midlife Synthesist synth jam! Get a listen to his YT channel and get hooked to David Attenborough like talks on music tech and anything of important in life: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c0rGYkQc0k

Ultramarine is mostly made on Maschine+, which is no longer here (but missed device very much, collecting dukats :) (AND NOW '21 it is back home! :). It’s cool but I need more knobs, sliders and LED pads as you can see :) And my music piggy bank was not fat enough, so needed to fund the ultimate to my taste Arturia Polybrute. Roland Versevab DAW-lessy drives beloved Moog Subsequent 37CV and new Polybrute. Prock Studio is finally complete … for now. Can't deny, music technology either soft/hardware is a good inspiration driver and helps to express what plays in your head. Get inspired with any unique music style or instruments you play! TNX!

Ultramarine

That fragile moment of freedom in between the notes when you receive a next one from the Universe! 

Long time did not capture my Cordoba KOA Edition nylon-string guitar. That day found guitar with a broken string, but it did not stop the inspiration :) The track started from a tweaked NI Picked Nylon sound and Korg Gadget project on iPhoneX. Then dropped stems into Ableton to see what happens during Cordoba improv session. Recorded guitar sound in parallel into direct interface and a also room mic to capture the atmos and happy-little-accidents. Mastered with UA Oxide Tape, IK, and FabFilters in Live 11. New track will go to Uplifting Chillout album titled "Love", some day, maybe. TNX!

No Strings Attached

Avcio & Aykut Bilir & Ezgi Sağlık - Aman Avcı

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!

In My Mind (Original Cordoba Mix)

🌺 ⚡  "... Imagine waking up in a tent (you are at Coachella, Woodstock, Burning Man ...) Early morning. Festive & groovy day is ahead of you. Nature is waking-up, sun is rising. Late-night DJ is still playing bad ass bass groove .... Someone is taking a flute from hippie bag, with a Peace sign drawn with ball pens .... Someone is reaching for the guitar, trying to grind teeth of the Black Fender Strat for breakfast ... All become alive ... Full day is ahead of you. Full life is ahead of you... " ✌

☮ ~ Flower Power ~ We All Need Some <3 ~ The Hippies Were Right ~ ☮

To teleport to 60's even faster, when Robert Moog was inventing Model D, I played MiniMoog, Moog Modular (and other synths by Arturia and Korg). Played my blue Fender Strat to signify the times, when Jimi Hendrix was grinding his teeth over his black one. Pushing flowers to the guns with Electronic and Psychedelic Rock is still needed. Imagined all thru my prism of future Deep Disco and Indie Dance vibe. Drums and all prod done in Ableton Live, mastering with IK Multimedia tools. 

Cover art is my casual drawing in ArtRage with Apple Pen on iPad.

Don't do drugs - it is bad for you. Spread Love - it is good for everyone 1<3

Prockjets (Singles Collection)

La Mer (Roma Edit)

“There is no island for your soul, there is only journey to it …“

Beat and synth played with Native Instruments iMashine2 4-track iPad app by taping on iPad surface. Plus my Yamaha bass and Fender Stratocaster for lead and licks. Recorded directly with Maschine MK3. The guitar effect if reversing guitar samples directly in Ableton, though I like jamn with reverse delay (like one can be found in Korg Gadget on iPad). The rest of prod and mastering is done in Ableton Live 10. Thanks for your support!   

The cover art is the portrait of a Big Green turtle who was chilling on a Island of Maui (Canon Rebel T4i, f/8, 1/400sec, ISO-100, 124mm. Lens Canon EF-S 18-135mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS USM).

Oh, yes... You probably noticed I am having much fun sharing improvisation, raw and work-in-progress jams on my @prockjet account lately. More will come. The base for this track was one of the Prockjets. That's the version of the track when it was just conceived on iPad iMaschine app:

Island

... and one favorite from Prock-Rock "weirdos" collection of bumpy electronic and trippy guitar. Little hypnosis, kinda psychedelic and alienated to cut thru realities of our 2.0 life (the one with mortgages and politicians). Moog Subsequent 37, Arturia, Ableton and Fender Stratocaster. Artwork is made with iPhone app called Pixelmator.

Telekinesis

Less music in music is good, no? Fender Strat and no fancy Ableton drums (few other things like NI Replica reverb and IK Multimedia vintage tape delays). Interestingly, 6 month since I released the Prockjets singles, this one takes half of Spotify streams and even has a purchase? Less with more - great direction to grow!  soundcloud.com/samprock/sets/prockjets-singles-collection

I was planning to add some Floydish synth lines at first, but I leave it vacant for you to create and listen ambiances in your head instead ;) If you want to "use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it..." (pardon my Daft Punk accent :)

Prockgressive

In childhood I loved reading Sir Henry Rider Haggard’s books. Adventurous stories with a hint of mystery. “She” is one fav of them, so here is the reading soundtrack (free copy at Project Gutenberg gutenberg.org/ebooks/3155, track cover art is a jammed cover of the book).

Played in one session with NI Maschine hard&software. Mastered in Ableton Live 10 with IK Multimedia tools. This album version is ready for upcoming "Impressions" release opening with soundcloud.com/samprock/crystal-ripples TNX!

One more mind travel, history books reading friendly, mythology inspired journey. 100% made with Korg Gadget app on iPhone. In particular Korg rendition of ARP Odyssey, one of my favorite synth to play with lately. Mastered on Ableton Live 10. New track always free download. TNX!

Odyssey

The Air. Thin and heavenly fresh .... or heavy supplying you with geoengineering chemtrails. Something we can't do without..... Two and a half minutes of intro? Why not! Stay inspired! Inspiration is what we need as air :)

The first track where I was using my Moog Subsequent 37 CV for real :) Tweaking filter and knobs, enjoying analogue vibe making. Lead synths coming out of the blue is Korg rendition of Odyssey on iPad. Most other sounds designed with Arturia's Prophet, DX-7, MoogMini, ARP2600, Solina, etc. Plus on board Ableton Wavetable synth and Max4Live devices. Mastered in Live 10 with IK Multimedia tools. Cover photo was taken somewhere above Atlantic. Cheers!

Tipsy meditative, groove reflective, masculine chillout. Chill hard! 

My own favorite track for the new Flower Power - Prock Prock album, 11/29/2019. 

https://soundcloud.com/samprock/sets/flower-power

Usually i post fresh improv, faster made tune. This one is different. Two years of mixing, mastering, getting dozens of basslines bumping to each other in a slo-mo Pogo dance. Had a blast producing it in Ableton with Arturia synths and IK Multimedia tools. 

Having said that, thats a rule, Fender Strat tipsy guitar noodle improv comes almost as-is, as it happened one good day. You can spend endless time mixing, polishing, growing your skills, but if something just happened - let it be. Power of music is in the improvisation and art of impression. Hope you share that thoughts and enjoy the do. TNX!

Wine

Tuned my Cordoba nylon string guitar and all the synthesizers to naturally play in the Love Frequency. 528Hz - frequency plants vibrate during photosynthesis. So the cover art photo. Ancient Solfeggio tones to heal minds, fuel the soul. It worked for John Lennon in "Imagine", so have to join the movement. Tune will help to grow your cucumber too! :)

The vibe we all need so much now. Huge respect to all essential heroes of pandemic keep saving humanity. One life at a time. To all Indie musicians for positivity and spreading love. One song at a time. Chance we all waited for - save the planet from your bedroom studio <3

Cover art is shot thru the grape leaves in our backyard. Learning "Chasing Light" photography technique. Canon EOS REBEL T4i, f/5.6, 1/2500 sec., ISO-6400, 67 mm. Lens Canon EF-S 18-135mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS USM.

The track will open 5th album, coming up next two decades :) No rush, I am on "no-plan" plan. Collecting Prock 2.0 style tracks - Uplifting Chillout. This Love goes out as a single to contribute to the vibe of good! Hope you enjoy. TNX!
