That fragile moment of freedom in between the notes! 

Long time did not capture my Cordoba KOA Edition nylon-string guitar. That day found guitar with a broken string, but it still had 5 more, so did not stop the inspiration. Backing track is tweaked NI Picked Nylon picking and Korg Gadget project on iPhoneX. Played guitar, recorded  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!

Love

No Strings Attached

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!

In My Mind (Original Cordoba Mix)

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…

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.

Alien saga continues soundcloud.com/samprock/clubfungus-and-sam-prock-abduction-diaries

"Distant galaxy alien squad descends on the planet Earth. Dark Ages (nowadays). They find dwarf civilization of monkeys... wait ... after close look - Enterprise detected presence of a Godly Particle still. Human. Aliens learned human language by songs. Grasped on the challenges and battles. After closer review collected few gifts of technology for humans. Velcro was just one ... Bad people locked gifts to Area 51 and 53. Only few notes leaked thru Close Eot3K movie ... Not many know.... Same alien squad gifted people the Synthesizer and Guitar Amp. Humanity enlightened. Progress boosted unprecedented during few decades. They had to take Ziggy, Hendrix, Zappa, Marley back. But Love prevailed. Humans played earthly grooves and ancient melodies with hi-tech magic. Aliens and humans became friends. They rejoiced, singing Hasanna." The End

🌺 ⚡  "... 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.

Don't do drugs - it is bad for you. Spread Love - it is good for everyone 1<3

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 :)

Sam Prock - Out Of Blue (Open Collab Invite)

“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:

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!

Roses (Blossom Take)

Remixing the maestro Jean Michel JARRE from his new Infinity. Remix is made with the official stems published for remix at metapop. Had a blast messing with them and get behind the scene to "mad professor" sound lab! All made with love for the sake of fun and proactive share! 

https://metapop.com/samprock/tracks/jean-michel-jarre-infinity-sam-prock-party-mix/71350

I bet you did not expect EDM Party track from old dudes like Jarre and Prock :P Cheers very much!

Listen to the original from Infinity album on @jeanmicheljarre page:
https://soundcloud.com/jeanmicheljarre/infinity-movement-6

(The remix is not monetized by me. Though you may see an ad playing. SC monetizes all my posts anyways. I am cool with that, just hope the remix stays public. But if JMJ or Sony wants me to put it down, it is fine too, it will keep just playing in my basement :) All rights belong to Jean-Michel Jarre and Sony, I guess, who made his list release. The mix is done by Sam Prock with stems and 100% owned tools by Moog, Arturia, IK Multimedia in Ableton Live 10).

Jean-Michel Jarre - Infinity (Sam Prock Party Mix)

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. Mastered, added more silk, for the upcoming Funtronica '19 album.

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!

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

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!
