THE JOYS OF WORK

The joys of work rejoice the king 
The time has given up on him
[king: ] - “Stay still, stay here!
… show me the way!
… to catch the moment!”
[time: ] - “Sit and pray …”

Time Speck (feat. Hank Beukema) ~ Open Collab Invite ~

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)

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

Want to bend without breaking <3  soundcloud.com/she-s-excited/new-from-the-ep-love-is-round-out-now

Full blast mixing making something new on every 8 bars of this terrific song. Up to 118.5Bpm. Played my drums, Arturia and Korg synth. Prod and mastering Ableton Live 9. 

Additional fun was mixing stems from 3 other songs fro the new She's Excited - Love is Round release. Tweaked to percussion, bass, vox, efx, you name it :) Precious to get behind the door of artist! Thank you Anne and all the best for your vibrant release <3

Released 2017-11-15, She's Excited & Sam Prock

She's Excited - New (Sam Prock Remix)

In this track I was having a blast Analog Kick produced by Moog Subsequent 37 CV. I think there are fans of that kissing, deep tone you can find on numerous records from 80's and 90's, also established itself in PsyTrance and other Future genres nowadays. 

Un-mastered and under-produced, but I like to share it with exaggerated kick like I played. Will likely beef-up the music part and put in place deeper, trance-ier place in Prockgressive release soon. If you like to have an Analog Kick sample send me a PM, an/or Midi file, so I can run it by Moog (free). I can tune it to the project, as tunning Kick to the song key gives essential effect, that you cannot get by dropping a dull kick sample from any random library. 

Tune it, shape it, stretch, revert it. Push it, drop it, smash, compress it :) Was it the lyrics about Kick in one good Daft Punk song? hehe

The rest is done in Ableton same session. New Live 10 Wavetable synth and  Arturia SEM. Also felt like picking some Fender Strat strings, so it is not jealous all attention goes to Moog lately  :)

Drone (Moog Mode)

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)

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!
