Your clever use of sound placements, panning, and effects, really helped to create this vast musical soundscape where each tone is very clearly defined within their respective spaces in the mix. And really sweet growly basslines that have these buttery & analog burbling tones to them ! Very groovy. And of course I really enjoyed the percussive elements that add to the deep tribal feel of the piece. What a very hypnotic production where each sound is sourced from the finest of origins within the programming ! I DIG IT.

Cool sound great track good job.👏🎶👌😎

Entertaining headspace, Sam. Nice high-energy, feel-good song to get my Monday started right. :D

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:

One of the Prock Rock electronic and guitar creatures for Flower Power album, made with Prockgressive improvs, usually featuring guitar improv or one take noodle. This track apparently has no guitar, though exactly capture one session inspiration, played with instrument called iPad :) All made  in my favorite Korg Gadget app. Indeed this creative app (DAW) has lively and solid sounding tools for session drums and twangy bass-guitars. 

Cover art is a GoPro shot in warm Maui waters at very empty Sugar Beach, natural preserve. 

The rule of the Flower Power release is to keep an atmosphere of original creation when Muse kissed you, so will not be adding any "real" guitar to it :) If you like to play over it PM me! I've posted this track with all stem available (free) for Open Collab, still open. Several amazing tracks came in catching same drift of improve and pleasure of music creation. Will be honored if you chime in too. Here is the stems and brilliant collabs. TNX!

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

.... 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.

Undrowning

... 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

Just one instrument synthline I wanted to share as-is. To feed our inspiration maybe? Designing sound in one track can be lotsa fun. Bless developers moving music tech to the next level constantly!  

Long time I did not make half-a-minute synth-phonies :) so here is the new one. 18 seconds – reaching to the new heights https://soundcloud.com/samprock/sets/shorts. I value your listening time! (or you can press the l0Op button and make tunes in your head) TNX!

The whole thing is designed with one instrument, recently released Arturia’s creature called Pigments. In line with Serum and NI Massive monstas. Pigments is super fun if you know what you are doing and even more fun if you don’t. Two Wavetable and/or Analogue engines, embedded sequencer and MultiFX. Main feature is you can get everything to move on a spot. Automation of any parameter to several LFOs, Envelops, Functions etc are VISUAL. So you can see and comprehend what’s going on relatively easy. For ex., here I automate wavetable position, reverbs, filters cutoff, stereo pan and other things right in the tool.

Played it last night, having somewhat circus vibe in mind. To my surprise today I came across interesting circus story behind the Beatles song “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!”. Is the “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” one of the most creative and artful albums of all times? So that explains the track name.

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!
