Most definitely a much needed recharge for the day ahead... solar power or Sam Prock - well since the Sun is down now I opted to listen & now I wonder how I will sleep all energized (dreams shouls be vivid)!? I'll need to play this again at the start of the day next time to experiment.

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.

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:

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

This is what I do to recharge after week-long workday :) One hour session with Moog Subsequent 37 CV and Polybrute. Minimal improv analogue sequence. Each synthline is one-shots interactive recording into Live 11. FabFilters, UAD, IK mastering. TNX!

Bassline: Moog Subsequent 37 CV with filter sweep over two minutes take
Synthline: Polybrute tweaking filter, ARP gate, on-board Reverb 
FX: Polybrute tweaking VCF env, on-board BBD Delay, etc with Morphee
Drums: Push 2 with Kick 2 + Ableton Live 11 Perc

Slowest Downtempo analoguesque synth-phony I ever played ... yet, at 76bpm. One night session in Live11 with Push2. Arturia's synths MiniMoog, ARP 2600, Modular, Buchla Easel, CMI, Jup-8, Matrix, OB-Xa, ProphetV, SEM, Synthi, Mellotron, and Polybrute. Mastered with UAD Oxide Tape, IK One, FabFilters. For the future "Analogue" album. TNX!

The cover art is a clever graffiti art on a concrete wall I spotted in a local park.

Black and White

The main synthline across the track is played interactively on Buchla Easel Command 208c. One thing about it - it is not a synth in normal/usual way expected from a machine making sound by moving electrons. It is rather an instrument trully. Here is my first track with this beaut synth, exploring Buchla-sweet analogue twangs and tones. Just like Auroras, you expect the colors, but they are always different somehow. 

All 5 mins played in one shot interactively, moving Buchla sliders placed in main panel in one row. Brilliant design to be able to see what's going on with wires and sliders position. Being able to move many sliders as you go just does not let you setup a preset and play it thru. You want to change things always, naturally. It is a synth technically, but feels more like playing a jaw harp or guitar. When you twang a string while playing. Here you have 22 sliders handy aligned for that. 

Lower and higher notes are the sound of two oscillators playing the same incoming midi pattern. While envelope, wave-folding timbers, opening gate and voltage controlled amp are tweaked interactively. Also sequencer(strangely 3-5 steps max, not 4 or 8), is not only for arping notes,instead for voltage control other oscillators and combo filter/amp. 

I still do love Moog and East-coast "traditional" subtractive concept, but now dig the West-coast concept as much. Its a privilege to own and play this 1974 designed, slightly improved with usb-midi for modern times analogue gear. I fell in love with Buchla tones/concept when played newly released Arturia VST few years back. (check one synthline track: https://soundcloud.com/samprock/patrol?in=samprock/sets/4-million-thank-you).  Same idea in this track - explore one synths sound. Real synth sound, plus few sounds made by VST in the middle section. Tried to limit other instruments: two Arturia MoogMini basslines, Pigments FX-ing, OB-xa pads, Kick2. 

Buchla (monosynth) line is split to left/right with one phrase apart for more stereo movement. Jun-6 Chorus, Live 11 Echo, FafFilter Pro-C2, Timeless 3, Pro-R in different amount/locations across the song. Mastered with UAD OxideTape, IK One, and FabFilters Pro-MB compressor and Pro-L2 final limiter.

The cover art is auroras-bleeding Buchla Easel Command 208c.
