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.

Analogue

Golden

That fragile moment of freedom in between the notes! 

Long time did not capture my Cordoba KOA Edition nylon-string guitar. That day found guitar with a broken string, but it still had 5 more, so did not stop the inspiration. Backing track is tweaked NI Picked Nylon picking and Korg Gadget project on iPhoneX. Played guitar, recorded  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

Imagine a video-drone flying by free, blossoming, restored Ukraine. Soon.
Представьте видео-дрон, летящий над свободной, цветущей, возрождаемой Украиной. Скоро.
Уявіть відео-дрон, що летить над вільною, квітучою Україною, що відроджується. Незабаром.

Lately loving play Atruria Oberheim rendition OB-Xa VST, lead sound in verses 2, 3. Backed by Buchla Easel embellishments and Pigments synthlines. Main ballsy bassline is by ANA2, subbass is MiniMoog. Played with Push 2 Ableton Live 11, mastered with UAD, IK, and FabFilters. The cover art made with PhotoLeap app on iPhone. For the future Analogue album. ☮

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)

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.

This is the Ambient take for my Time Speck Open Collab. Please read and download stems here:
https://soundcloud.com/samprock/sam-prock-time-speck

More reflective and subtle atmos here, can be more suitable as a backtrack. Has no original Spoken and the all instruments are more verby/ambient. Hope it inspires you for yet another Spoken Word or improve instrumentation on guitar, piano or else. I just rearranged the original. In this cut the Cello part an intro. The mid space of the track, starting at 0:40-0:50 and going to outro at 2:40, is the place to run your new ART over. It can be additionally looped. Let me know it need different rearrangement to fit your take. I will be more than happy to do it! :D

The Crystal Ripples SYNTH-phony is dedicated to Planet Earth survival awareness and to everyone making Ripples in the cold blob if ice humanity getting itself into. Thank you for warming up the Climate between Humans and saving Polar Ice-packs too.

This is my contribution to Climate Change collab playlist on Silent Zen group:  soundcloud.com/silent-zen/sets/climate-change

Musically here... I just play what I feel and like, like many. Translating _it_ into the best sound I could do at the moment, hoping to let out some of grooves and vibes boiling my head constantly. Might be messy, bumpy, puzzling, but this is what it is. By design. Crystal Ripples continues my "Impressionism in Music" series. I love to induce and provoke, rather than impose. All for creative listening experience, so we collab, co-create.... Thank you.

Fender Stratocaster finger picking and (slightly) distorted basslines and twangs. Tones are using Line 6 hardware Pod XT. Post Line6 and IK Multimedia Amplitube.  Korg Synths, including Gadget tool Brussels, which solemnly soloing at 0:50. All synths sounds transitions achieved by playing physical knobs on my Arturia controller. All 37 lines of guitars, perc, synth total are assembled in Ableton Live 9 and mastered with IK Multimedia.

Released by Sam Prock Dec. 15, 2016

Crystal Ripples ~ Check YouTube!

Original mix. Intense sadness on uplifting S.P.irals... yeah... 
Happy Piano Day 2017! soundcloud.com/silent-zen-play/sets/silent-zen-elite-piano

Piano sound only. This will be one of a kind for me. Korg, Ableton Live 9 and IK Multimedia mastering (with hammering and atmos "mud" are intentional). I'm only consistent with in-consistency of my music, sorry about that :)   

3/4, 100bpm. I have made a sheet music PDF for it, also Guitar Pro GPX format, and midi - PM me if anything. 

Cover art is a fragment of S.P. cover for Van Gogh's Starry Night, my fav paining of all times. Acrylic on canvas, circa '00s.

🌺 ⚡  "... 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

☮ Flower Power ☮

In childhood we were watching thru the stars with my school bud. Exiting atmosphere, riding deep and cold vacuum (and I don't mean a vacuum cleaner :) ... mentally expanding our presence to far outer-space. Until  rock comes up to your throat. Thinking, - How huge the whole thing is?

Stargaze is dedicated to great artist and friend Gary Miles, Anomon @gary-courtland-miles

Musically, keep pursue Impressionism in music. Might be to complex to some or too simple to others, not the point. Some shorter strokes or deep long waves. With all one intention - let you co-create while listen. 

All sounds Korg Gadget. Production and mastering Ableton Live. The Stargaze will become part of my future Electronic Impressions album along with these tracks so far:

Prockjets (Singles Collection)

La Mer (Roma Edit)

¡¡ Warning: very old track with very LO-FI sound !!

4th track, november'93. Time passes, life changes ourselves. I play clean guitars, focusing my work on changing rhythmics, from the smoothest to the most passioned. 

El 4º tema, noviembre de 1993. El tiempo pasa, la vida nos cambia. Toco la guitarra sin distorsión y trabajo especialmente la base rítmica en las distintas partes, pasando de lo más sutil a lo más rítmico y apasionado.

Lyrics/Letra:

Cuando me comporto de un modo raro 
me cierras las puertas;
mi sueño termina, estoy acabado,
donde ya nada es igual, ya nada es igual.

Todo en lo que confiaba, ahora se derrumba...
Aquello que despreciaba, es lo que me gusta...
y es que ya nada es igual, ya nada es igual.

Creo sentir un empujón que me invita a seguir.
Creo llegar a un tiempo más lejano que tus ojos...
donde ya nada es igual, ya nada es igual.

El aire canta frío entre los tejados...
me veo aquí dormido, a mi lado...
y me levanto en la sombra para tocar el cielo...
donde ya nada es igual, ya nada es igual.

La luz se aleja, la luz se acerca,
las luces juegan con mi cabeza,
me siento raro, me siento raro, me siento raro,
y es que ya nada es igual, ya nada es igual.

Me siento raro (Nada es igual)

“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:

Volcan
L'energie du soleil
la vie dans ses doigts
aux entrailles de la terre
la puissance du magma
doucement se réveille ...

Je sens comme un appel
la lumière d'un phare
un cri bien au delà
a  l'abri des regards
un chant millénaire ...

Volcano
The energy of the sun
life in his fingers
in the bowels of the earth
the power of magma
wake up slowly ...

I feel like a call
the light of a lighthouse
a cry far beyond
isolated
an old song ...

Alpha Roots sent me these reggae bass and rhythm guitar stem a long time ago, maybe even three years ago in 2016 (bad couch, bad couch)! I originally planned on having Evelyn (of the Reiki Run Rampant tracks on my page) sing over the rhythm but then I moved from Santa Cruz to Portland and she moved from the Pacific Northwest to Santa Cruz, bummer! So the stems sat in my hard drive until new inspiration arrived in the form of Johnny Minstrel, one of favorite song writers on SoundCloud, agreeing to write lyrics and sing over the track. Once Johnny added his deep felt lyrics and magical vocal chords to the mix, the rest of the song came together pretty quickly for me, lol! I often try to put together virtual bands for my tracks and I knew I had to have Jamie Rhind on the track since he worked with Alphio on multiple songs and a reunion was due. I always wanted to work with Jonathan Beckenstein, whose sensitive and thoughtful guitar work is always sublime. Darren and Russ came naturally.  My original drum production work was based on an old Sly Dunbar sample (I like to include the essence of some of my favorite artists in the tracks I work on) but the quality of the drums just wasn’t up to Russ’ standards, hahaha, so we brought Bitzone on board to lay down some drums and voila, roots reggae magic!

Big thanks to the band for coming together on this in fine fashion! Big ups to the SoundCloud community and the spirit of collaboration. Keep on digging! 

And massive thanks to Wou-Wou to bringing his visual arts talent to the project! My goal is to eventually put together a reggae album (possibly a double album which will also include some reggae collaborations between Alpha Roots and friends including Jamie Rhind and Russ Sinfield) with all profits going to the Cancer Research Institute. Be on the look out for a possible dub version of Red Earth Clay as well!!!

Lyrics: 
Hold you tongue don’t wag that finger
Just shine a light on me my friend
Too much fuss will only hinder
All the good things the spirit sends
We were made of dust and fire
Born beneath a brooding sky
On the stairs of Babel we climb higher 
To sights not seen by human eye

And now I dig, dig deep into the 
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way

Some have called democracy into question
Saying we like sheep have gone astray
That it’s been the rich man’s intention
To steel by night and rule by day
I washed your feet with my tears
I wiped them dry with my hair
Can a hungry mouth still offer prayers
Or are they whispers of despair 

And now I dig, dig deep into the 
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Dig, dig deep
And I toil for no pay
I dig, dig deep into the
Red Earth Clay
Down to the root I’ll find my way

Enterprise

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.

Drone

Wander in the middle of the night

.... P.S. the beginning of track sounds dull, gets highs when drowning. Like in life you get no high notes until un-drown. Truth telling. Cheers!   

I rarely use vocal or any  samples, here felt like it. This is homage to the Art Of Noise band - one of the grandfathers of Electronic music. From Chillout to experimental and IDM. You should remember numerous TV commercial with magic and captive music - that was it The Art Of Noise.

The kick here is all analog, synthesized with Moog Subsequent 37 CV. Physical Moog is only on the kick, the most of the synths here are Ableton 10 Wavetable. I was experimenting and discovering its tones and now use all the time. Hefty sound, one synth I can understand what I am actually tweaking on. Not blindly scrolling thru the pages of presets looking for "cool" one.  Making own sound is the key. ☮

Cover art is a happy Pineapple Turtle living in Tortuga Sanctuary on Isla Mujeres, Cancun, Mexico.

LYRICS:
Whatever I give is enough but it will never be too much
Whatever the fates may allow the dream is close enough to touch
I wanna be patient
I'm trying to be patient

Sometimes perhaps its best to flee than it is to stay at bay
Sometimes by chance its best to let go pave your own way
Sometimes perhaps its best to flee than it is to stay at bay
Sometimes by chance its best to let go pave your own way

We are made to age so lets make sure that we get there
We get there

Whatever I feel I'll embrace but never for to long
Whatever the day has in store time is fading away all along
 wanna be patient
I'm trying to be patient
Sometimes perhaps its best to flee than it is to stay at bay
Sometimes by chance its best to let go pave your own way
Sometimes perhaps its best to flee than it is to stay at bay
Sometimes by chance its best to let go pave your own way
We are made to age so lets make sure that we get there
We get there

Odyssey

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!
