Lovely work, hypnotic stuff …….. such an enjoyable piece!

Wonderful track, 3 min 26 real quality time ! Great job !

sweet frequency at 528hz, gives a warm sonic gift to the listener, great deep percussion drone adds some deep dimension to this one, real cool production too ! love it ! thank you - shine

Sam! This really lets the sunlight play through the foliage. My cucumber was chopped & refrigerated-- O_O...I bet it still felt the good vibrations from this! 528Hz that must be strong enough to grow through fridge doors! ;)  You are forever on my sonic salad mind! Beautaseful track! ;)

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

Future 80's rule! One synth only in its purity. New Synthwave track made with Arturia's rendition for Buchla Easel. I think its the most processor greedy soft synth I ever played. Worth it, rich in sound and possibilities. A single, sequenced synthline, quite automated, plus Ableton on-board 707 drum track. But lots going on inside the tool. Internal sequence is driven by a midi track as well. Only some FabFilter reverb applied, in places. And UAD Tube 610B, UAD 1176 for more analogue atmos. Mastered in Ableton Live with IK Multimedia and FabFilter tools. Had lotsa fun playing it. Hope you enjoy Synth-Meditative journey. TNX! 

P.S. This kind of flow, playing one (or two) hardware or software synths, tweaking and vibing, is the most fun for me lately. Because of the busy times - yes, but can do this for hours, days, years. Hope you find opportunities to connect with your creative side. Stay inspired!

Patrol (Single Soft Synth - Buchla Easel)

Happy Summer Everyone!

“Uplifting Chillout” - Prock 2.0 style. The main guitar-synth tune is played by hands on 4x4 Maschine+ pads in a scale mode, very handy :) Also Ableton Live 11, Arturia, IK One, UAD Oxide Tape, Teletronix LA-2A, FabFilters.

My mancave on the cover. Its also featured in the new The Midlife Synthesist synth jam! Get a listen to his YT channel and get hooked to David Attenborough like talks on music tech and anything of important in life:

Ultramarine is mostly made on Maschine+, which is no longer here (but missed device very much, collecting dukats :) (AND NOW '21 it is back home! :). It’s cool but I need more knobs, sliders and LED pads as you can see :) And my music piggy bank was not fat enough, so needed to fund the ultimate to my taste Arturia Polybrute. Roland Versevab DAW-lessy drives beloved Moog Subsequent 37CV and new Polybrute. Prock Studio is finally complete … for now. Can't deny, music technology either soft/hardware is a good inspiration driver and helps to express what plays in your head. Get inspired with any unique music style or instruments you play! TNX!

Ultramarine

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!

Synthline: Polybrute tweaking filter, ARP gate, on-board Reverb 
FX: Polybrute tweaking VCF env, on-board BBD Delay, etc with Morphee

Charging...

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.

Prockjets (Singles Collection)

La Mer (Roma Edit)

“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:

Flower Power

iTunes or Anywhere

Island

Less music in music is good, no? Fender Strat and no fancy Ableton drums (few other things like NI Replica reverb and IK Multimedia vintage tape delays). Interestingly, 6 month since I released the Prockjets singles, this one takes half of Spotify streams and even has a purchase? Less with more - great direction to grow!  soundcloud.com/samprock/sets/prockjets-singles-collection

I was planning to add some Floydish synth lines at first, but I leave it vacant for you to create and listen ambiances in your head instead ;) If you want to "use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it..." (pardon my Daft Punk accent :)

The Air. Thin and heavenly fresh .... or heavy supplying you with geoengineering chemtrails. Something we can't do without..... Two and a half minutes of intro? Why not! Stay inspired! Inspiration is what we need as air :)

The first track where I was using my Moog Subsequent 37 CV for real :) Tweaking filter and knobs, enjoying analogue vibe making. Lead synths coming out of the blue is Korg rendition of Odyssey on iPad. Most other sounds designed with Arturia's Prophet, DX-7, MoogMini, ARP2600, Solina, etc. Plus on board Ableton Wavetable synth and Max4Live devices. Mastered in Live 10 with IK Multimedia tools. Cover photo was taken somewhere above Atlantic. Cheers!

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!
