Sam Prock ~ 2016

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!

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

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

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,

My 2015 Adam track is here (... I know! 282K plays and 3.6K Likes. I'm so very grateful to your immersive support guys! The Groove Surfer surfed way up to number 1 spot in Top 50 SoundCloud charts :) soundcloud.com/samprock/sam-prock-the-groove-surfer-original-mix

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.

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 :)

She's Excited - New (Sam Prock Remix)

Why do I have ProckJet acct? To share improvs and daily fun with music, just like this ☮   

I had a blast twisting knobs at my Moog Subsequent 37 CV (on Prockjet cover)for an hour or so, having bassline and lead on top. Other day mixed it with new Wavetable and other synths in Ableton Live 10. Explored Replika reverb by Native Instruments. Just 3 basslines, 3 pluck, and 3 lead synth. Kick from BassISM2. Simple :) 

Hope you find it fun ... or fall a sleep and have a great chill, which will be "mission-accomplished" for Prockjet. Exploring sound and inducing vibe is mesmerizing process. Bob Moog said this in the documentary you can find on YT. I extracted a quote on that:

"It is something between discovering and witnessing" - Robert Moog 

Cannot agree more! Have best inspiration with what you play guys!

..... P.S. Yes, Bolero is my favorite Classical piece. Tops! that I remembered somehow after playing this and listening few days later :) (not calling this any way close to Ravel, just messing up and having Nocturnal fun ... and it was played in the morning. You don't want to hear my late night mourning for sure :P

Nocturnal (Longest Night Nocturne Edit)

Can a track do with only kick, snare, and a guitar?  In this new Fender Reprise played just recently, I wanted to enjoy the purity of clear tones and sonority and space in between them, hope you enjoy :)

I like the goings and would only play some Floydish and JMJ like synths far in the depth. But only to enhance the feel. Also played lots with NI Replika Reverb and Ableton Echo here. One special is classy green Tape Delay from IK Multimedia, liking the tool very much.

We Are Different (Bonus Track)

In childhood I loved reading Sir Henry Rider Haggard’s books. Adventurous stories with a hint of mystery. “She” is one fav of them, so here is the reading soundtrack (free copy at Project Gutenberg gutenberg.org/ebooks/3155, track cover art is a jammed cover of the book).

Played in one session with NI Maschine hard&software. Mastered in Ableton Live 10 with IK Multimedia tools. This album version is ready for upcoming "Impressions" release opening with soundcloud.com/samprock/crystal-ripples TNX!

Impressions

Stay safe. Stay engaged!

When I released this track with Flower Power album November last year, never knew that would post it to the purpose. Now in Spring 2020, last year news were a picnic! We were about Xmas, end-of-year bonus was coming, we were talking about Trump impeachment... good times indeed.

Never posted it though, always thinking maybe today is just enough sht on the news already anyways. Also did not want to post on any specific event. Hoping maybe tomorrow we'll get a relief with something more positive than today. You know that feeling - disturbed, confused, concerned...

When I was a kid always watched that World News TV programs. One from '70s had some special catchy vibe on the opening soundtrack (sorry, I pay attention to any music in any occasion which soundtracks our life, and it stuck in you). Something like that always keeps spinning in my head since. This track, as many, made from scratch on the iPad surface with the Korg Gadget app. Something in between TV news opening jingle and one of my fav songs ever Vicarious by Tool. 

And this photo. I took a shot of this storytelling red brick wall, eaten by salt waters and sun, photo in Venice. The wall on Fondamenta delle Zattere, location of Ospedale degli Incurabili.
