The summer is still in its Solstice. Have a warm day!

Fantasy is played on Maschine Mikro MK3 with pads and knobs. Only stock drum/bass, synth and the new polysynth. When Maschine software chocked on tracks and FX, rendered tracks into Ableton for tweaking, mixing and to play more embellishments with Polysynth as VST. Mastered with UAD, IK, and FabFilters. Fantasy will go to Uplifting Chillout album titled Love, some day, maybe. TNX!

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. ☮

Chapter 221 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

If you wish to take a dive into everything that has come before:
The TAFFETA Albums each contain 15 consecutive tracks and are available for free, exclusively on Bandcamp.

المملكة المغربية (al-Mamlaka al-Maghribīya) - ماشين لقدّام (Mashiin lqddam)

Morocco is a state in northwest Africa. It is separated from the European continent by the Strait of Gibraltar. As the westernmost of the five Maghreb countries (six including Western Sahara), it borders the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west and Algeria to the east. Morocco's southern border is internationally controversial because of the Western Sahara conflict until a UN referendum is held on the future membership of Western Sahara. The most important cities in the country are Casablanca, the capital Rabat, Fes, Marrakesh, Agadir, Tangier and Meknes. Nine sites are part of the World Heritage in Morocco.

Morocco was temporarily under French and Spanish protectorate in the 20th century. It has been independent again since 1956 and is a constitutional monarchy under the 1992 constitution. Despite slight progress in human and civil rights during the 2010s, the king continues to rule the country in a partially authoritarian manner. Freedom of expression in particular is still severely restricted today and women are significantly disadvantaged in Morocco.

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  

Musically yours,
Sam

Time Speck (Chillout Edit)

Lately I have been listening to Johnny Cash with a greater appreciation than ever before.  When doing this song, I felt close to Mr. Cash and his work.  I hope some of that feeling made its way into this song.  On Monday it will be 13 years since Mr. Cash left this earth.  His music lives on.

I owe so much on this song to the wonderful music and support from Hans and the additional care from Sam Prock.  Thank you dearly my friends.

Regards,
Chris

“Painted White Line”

Empty hallway
Empty heart
Drained of emotion
Too tired to start 
Another hopeless journey
Into the dark

Like a freight train
Trying to roll without its tracks
Like an airplane
Trying to fly with wings detached
Like a racecar
Steering without its wheel
My life feels like a tunnel
I need her here

I remember back
To a time of daisies 
And dandelions
She was the flower
I was a common weed
I could always hear her breathe
It always seemed 
She was breathing life into me

There is a painted white line
On the road for travelers
I need a painted white line
In my life as I’m traveling
But my line is painted 
Painted black

I drink my cheap wine
I remember back
To a time of daisies 
And dandelions
She was the flower
I was the common weed

I could always hear her
The way she breathed
It always seemed to me like … 
She was breathing the life into me
Breathing life into me
Breathing life into me
She was breathing the life into me

But like a freight train
Trying to roll without its tracks
Like an airplane
Trying to fly with wings detached
I’m the racecar
Steering without a wheel
My life’s a tunnel
I need her…

Painted White Line (Original song by Hans / Wild Christopher / Sam Prock)

👽 Sauserz Smoking Party! Alien Power! 👽

Don’t get confused on who-abducts-who. Never trust a Klingon. Analyze. Research. Reuse the Tech….. My deep PROCK-tology analysis of an alien material collected by Alien-Science M.D. Clubfungus, soundcloud.com/clubfungus. 
 Drastically dropped down Kurt’s 136Bpm to 124Bpm. Past year, I was looking for the newer spin in my prod and happy to release it on the Kurt’s track. The basic idea is even Deeper Electronic, Grooving and SYNTH-phony. Tuning into Slo-mo Disco, Deep, Indie Dance, Ska Electronica, also fancying Psytrance and Psybient, while curving all genres borders. 

Besides my Fender guitar, there is a tons of new synths/basslines the whole menu of Kurt’s sound preserved and reimagined. New drums for different, persistence of groove, featuring signature Kurt’s snares and rolls. Lotsa chopping, merging, re-pitching, reversing, alien-robo-voxing, synths/efx automation, panning, tweaking … you name it. Pretty much all of hte mad-professor tools, plus new ideas of PROCK-tology science are in. All resulting in year of learning from the best, since The Groove Surfer speaker cleaner and Martin L. Gore Featherlight remix. 

One more thing… It would be not Prock, who uses car-key-against-the-pipe bang in Depeche Mode remix, and not for the Clubfungus music-vibe-art, who makes whole track out of a Fly sound. I just had to feature natural sound in the mix. The “safety belt beep” and “engine revving” of my personal Dodge commute Saucer is there :) Sorry guys, if you’re driving and subliminally trying to reach out for your safety belt :P You do need it, so just wanted to make sure ;)

Thank you for the listen and support!

Musically yours,
👽 Sam&Kurt 👽

Thank you ALL for the terrific support to this Droplet edit, which is also got into both Top 50 Played and New and Hot SoundCloud charts, so it gets multi-K plays and multi hundred likes :D  Appreciate! 

Played my Fender guitar and few dozens lines of Korg Gadget, MiniMoog, ARP2600, Jupiter, Prophet, Moog Modular. If you hear far too many elements compiling the symphony, your speakers are good and .... very clean :)

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.

SYNTHphony ~ Please Check YouTube Too

Prock marathon continue - fresh one session recording. This time done on Native Instruments :) 

All played by hands on luxurious silky Maschine MK3 pads. Used Komplete kits and sounds, plus NI Monark and Arturia Prophet V3. Arturia synths integrated as NKS tools and available as native instruments in the Maschine flow. It's phunn! :) 

Inspired by nostalgic memories of good reading Haggard’s books in childhood. REALLY loved the adventure stories and hint of mystery. “She” is one fav of them … 

So here is the sound track for reading :) BTW, the book is available free at Project Gutenberg, where I usually grab a book in “epub” format and drop to iPnone/iPad (or Kindle version, or read online): gutenberg.org/ebooks/3155
