Name: The Groove Surfer by Sam Prock in Kick Starter (Repost Art)
Duration: 30 s

Indeed, we dance on the waves around here!

Perfect title! Riding the waves of this solid and funky groove this morning

Something butt kicking to kick-start a day or the year, in case you feel sleepy yet :D I can happily conclude, by looking into the amazing new works from you guys, you are wide awake! Even if some tracks here are soothing to the core, the good kick is guarantied! Enjoy!

The cover art is one of my fave Van Gogh Boot kickers. I took the photo in New York Metropolitan last year and added some kick remixing the colors! :D

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!

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

Well I could not resist having a sing along to this classic Black Sabbath song "War Pigs" and have to say the job my good friend Hiroshi as done on the music to this, is a damn sight better than the justice I could ever give to it with my voice, that's for sure. Though what the heck I love the song and here it is :))))))))))

I would like to thank my good friend Hiroshi for giving me the opportunity to have a blast on this classic, and he has no doubt certainly done a superb job with his guitars and the rest on this one, even to getting it sound like Sabbath themselves.

One more thing. I would like to thank you all for your wonderful support over the years here on SC and wish you all a very Happy New Year for 2016.

The song as been made available as a free digital download @ Bandcamp and can be had here : https://leelucas.bandcamp.com/track/war-pigs

War Pigs (Words & Music By Black Sabbath)

Lee Lucas - Vocals & Artwork.
Aerogene070 - Guitars - Bass - Drums - Production.

The lyrics are as follows:

Generals gathered in their masses, 
Just like witches at black masses.
Evil minds that plot destruction, 
Sorcerer of death's construction.
In the fields the bodies burning, 
As the war machine keeps turning.
Death and hatred to mankind, 
Poisoning their brainwashed minds.
Oh lord yeah! 

Politicians hide themselves away, 
They only started the war.
Why should they go out to fight, 
They leave that role to the poor.*

Yeah! 

Time will tell on their power mind, **
Making war just for fun.
Treating people just like pawns in chess, 
Wait till their judgement day comes.

Yeah! 

Now in darkness world stops turning, 
Ashes where the bodies burning.
No more war pigs have the power, 
Hand of God has struck the hour.
Day of judgement God is calling, 
On their knees the war pig's crawling.
Begging mercy for their sins, 
Satan laughing spreads his wings.

Oh lord yeah!

Please find time to leave comments, to which all are very well appreciated and many thanks for listening.

Jamn' my Fender Strat the other day, found some nice chords progression. Built something around it same day, using LogicX on Mac. Unrefined and unpolished playing, guys. Layered bass, rhythm and played impromptu solo over. I dug up the rack from a hard-drive, so this couple years recording comes as-is, no refinments. Contains pure inspiration with the mistakes provided :)   Juss having some fun...  :D

Thank you for all for the AMAZING feedback here - Sam PROCK. 

Check out the version, in which Roger played his blessing guitar over this track, the next day  :)))) Appreciate my friend!

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.

Check my YouTube channel for some Depeche Mode tunes playing captured on iPad with iOS 11 official recorder:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-6av81MiNw&list=PLiPHwi5RqOnK05Gqpcr8owsxC7cYcV0Lw&index=1

I grabbed kick and snare, tweaked bass synth for a jamming in Korg Gadget app on iPhone 6s. My Depeche Mode piece of DNA turned the thing into a session of interpretation for “I See You” too fast. I noticed the hook turns alike this fab song from my fav 1982 album “A Broken Frame”. I submit and had a blast!

100% organic Korg Gadget sound. Literally two lines. Drum and Bass (but not that DnB one). First is drum machine spirited beats, London. Second bad ass bass from gadget Dublin. Single bass track because synth notes choke and fight each other this way. Small post treatment in Ableton Live 9.7 for more fun. British and White Channel compressors by IK Multimedia. T-Racks Classic EQ, Plate and Hall Reverb CSR, Quad Image IK tools. Automated.

Lyrics: 
All I want to do is bass you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just wanna play your sweet bass
You never heard in years before

I can keep it in a distance, cos I don’t trust my resistance
But I swear I will touch you…. 

Well I know 35 years is a long time
And that times change (oh that times change)
But I think that you will find - People are People 
Depeche Mode people basically the same

Depeche Mood

In childhood we were watching thru the stars with my school bud. Exiting atmosphere, riding deep and cold vacuum (and I don't mean a vacuum cleaner :) ... mentally expanding our presence to far outer-space. Until  rock comes up to your throat. Thinking, - How huge the whole thing is?

Stargaze is dedicated to great artist and friend Gary Miles, Anomon @gary-courtland-miles

Musically, keep pursue Impressionism in music. Might be to complex to some or too simple to others, not the point. Some shorter strokes or deep long waves. With all one intention - let you co-create while listen. 

All sounds Korg Gadget. Production and mastering Ableton Live. The Stargaze will become part of my future Electronic Impressions album along with these tracks so far:

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 Prock - Out Of Blue (Open Collab Invite)

This track is dedicated to our cat Max 🐱  Real hunter, half stray/ferret cat, brave character. We did not buy or adopt him. Young fella adopted us, coming one time to stay for good. Cleaned two blocks around which is all his territory now. He lost left eye in his streets battles last year. Now looks around even when eats from his bowl. Cat's life ain't easy.... :)

All sound is 100% organic Korg Gadget app on iPad. Mixing and mastering Ableton Live 9. 133.3Bpm

If you like to play this tune over your YouTube cats videos, just ask me for permission. No royalty, so you can monetize it (after legally downloading track and contacting me)

Scaredy Cat

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.

Sam Prock - Prockgressive (Fender Reprise)

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

She (History Begins)

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!
