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

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
Drums: Push 2 with Kick 2 + Ableton Live 11 Perc

Charging...

A positive and optimistic pop music track with a dreamy vibe, creates a feeling of success and accomplishment. Great music for travel videos, commercials, films with an inspiring message.

This is the Ambient take for my Time Speck Open Collab. Please read and download stems here:
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,

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 :) 

Musically yours,
Sam.

Sam Prock - Out Of Blue (Open Collab Invite)

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

Sam Prock - Synthphony (Intermission Thunder)

.... 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

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!
