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

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.

Life is busy. I make software that Apple designers use make their chips. This track is made on iPhone with Korg Gadget app and uploaded directly to GadgetCloud. Same way as 8 years ago, when I joined SoundCloud. Cover photo of Gadget project on iPhone made with the same iPhone. Cheers!  

Endless Light will become part of my future Impressions album along with (tracks that also made on the Korg Gdaget on iPhone/iPad):

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!

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 :) 

Musically yours,
Sam.

Sam Prock - Out Of Blue (Open Collab Invite)

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.

Sputnik (Vostok Gagarin)

One of my own favorite track from Prockjets (Singles Collection), released on Silent Zen label today - 11/29/2018. Not rushing you to the stores, just sharing the excitement and major for Indie artists milestone. Having my own label and the first official 26 track release. All authentic, made on a spot, most on iPad, iPhone, Ableton and/or just playing guitars. 

On this Roses track my beloved Cordoba, Special KOA Edition nylon string guitar, meets Korg Gadget app electronic I played on iPad. No fuss, simple joy of music. Hope you like it too and having best inspiration with everything you play today. The rose is from San Jose, Sunny California.  Cheers!
