Groovy, groovy :), great hui! With love, Eden Project

Cool arrangement... like that arpeggiated & horn (?) synth sounds - I haven't seen sunflower field like the track art since I was in Austria so your song brings back wonderful memories!

love the synths, creative and engaging listen!!

Extraordinary synths…loving these sounds. Superb track!!!

Why do I love listening SoundCloud artists? Every time I hear authentic, free flowing art in music, I imagine fellow Indi musician dreaming, imagining, creating, and so do I ...

4 Million Plays - Thank You!

That fragile moment of freedom in between the notes when you receive a next one from the Universe! 

Long time did not capture my Cordoba KOA Edition nylon-string guitar. That day found guitar with a broken string, but it did not stop the inspiration :) The track started from a tweaked NI Picked Nylon sound and Korg Gadget project on iPhoneX. Then dropped stems into Ableton to see what happens during Cordoba improv session. Recorded guitar 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

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

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. ☮

It can heal, it can burn...

One of a rare tracks from me without drum or bass .... or is it? Hang Drum on Push 2 with Soniccouture, hang or pan drum implementation as Ableton device. 

Arturia ARP 2600, Prophet 5, and FabFilters on pads. Arturia Farfisa multitrack and Polybrute on verse. Moog Subsequent 37CV on chorus, also altered by Arturia Moog Filter. Mastered with UAD Oxide Tape, IK One, and FabFilters. As always new and a dozen other tracks are downloadable on my accounts, thanks!

L’Étoile d’Afrique, Part 2

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!

Enjoy the mini Indie Disco Dance SYNTHS-phony of grooves and vibes! Yes, it is short by the design. Orders to make it longer are not longer accepted :P  What can you do in 3 minutes, you cannot do in a half?

30 seconds "Speaker Dust Cleaner", folks. Quickly wipes the dust from your studio monitors, headphones and/or sub-woofer 1.5 feet in diameter. Guaranteed :) It's designed to be half-a-minute short. Same time, it indeed has intro, verse, chorus, bridge and outro. Played with ~20 Korg and MiniMoog synths lines and some specks of my Fender Stratocaster guitar. The Groove Surfer is a full original mix (not preview or teaser ;) 

Available for licensing. For example, a commercial for "world goes to a drain", - crazy, risky and "one way" by definition as surfing. You can only enjoy a quick ride and only hope to get there :)

Cheers!
Sam.

The Groove Surfer

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.

Spirals

🌺 ⚡  "... 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.

Sputnik (Vostok Gagarin)

Loving Psytrance (and Psybient) genres for dynamics, pressure and overall coolness. I've being trying to learn it for some years now. Posting first time, thinking remix is a good opportunity. Original track by Stan Kolev is Progressive House (stems provided for remix comps at Metapop. I like mix with stems vs. finished song. Though here I used FX and vox stems from original. Drums and bass and synths are mine :). Remixing is good for you - you learn and find your own sound faster! 

If you approve of it I keep making my Psy tracks. For now start with remix post. If it's good - it's not my credit, if not - not my fault neither :P LOL  Original stems by Stan Kolev (used most of FX and vox). The main drums, bass, synths are mine from Moog, Arturia and Korg. Ableton Live 10, IK Multimedia.



Non-monetized (even if you see ads, it's not me - SoundCloud plays adds on all my tracks :) All rights go to Stan Kolev and his label, I just had some phunn!

Stan Kolev - Ananda (Sam Prock Remix)

Space theme continues! One groovy night session spent with Maschine software and Native Instruments hardware. NI makes one of the best MiniMoog implementation called Monark.

Enterprise

Tipsy meditative, groove reflective, masculine chillout. Chill hard! 

My own favorite track for the new Flower Power - Prock Prock album, 11/29/2019. 

https://soundcloud.com/samprock/sets/flower-power

Usually i post fresh improv, faster made tune. This one is different. Two years of mixing, mastering, getting dozens of basslines bumping to each other in a slo-mo Pogo dance. Had a blast producing it in Ableton with Arturia synths and IK Multimedia tools. 

Having said that, thats a rule, Fender Strat tipsy guitar noodle improv comes almost as-is, as it happened one good day. You can spend endless time mixing, polishing, growing your skills, but if something just happened - let it be. Power of music is in the improvisation and art of impression. Hope you share that thoughts and enjoy the do. TNX!

Wine

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!

An open collab by Sam Prock. This was a great song to remix. It was a nice refreshment from my other music. I guess it could be called ambient at this point, but whatever it is, it’s interesting.
The Original is awesome! Please go check it out, and if you want to remix it or collab, message Sam Prock. Thanks again.  :)
