First tune I ever got public. Fast and fully made on the Korg Gadget app on iPad. Made the groove, beat and vibe. Pressed Publish from within the mobile app. Easy :) 

I was not thinking at that time the tune is about to open the most exciting musical endeavor ever. Much love and inspiration to all SC FAM!  <3

Sunday Thinker

Press Repeat. It runs exactly 1 minute. Exercise. Designed for wellness. Stay healthy. Stay happy!
 
Short from a quick playing iPad session. Using Korg Gadget and new iM1 Korg Module. So cool to have inspiration provoking app in a pocket size format. Making something in one shot on the iPad surface is unbeatable fun!

If you still reading and listening, check out the faster and longer mix of it. Have phunn!  https://soundcloud.com/prockjet/funtronica?in=samprock/sets/prockjets-singles-collection

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!

Up To You (Instrumental)

My punk arse needed to play something very raw immediately! Like right NOW! :) Gonna get bumpy and you've being warned! hell yeah, one minute (and now by persistent request two minutes :)! I bet it finishes earlier when you press a Skip button :P  

I broke 3 good guitar picks on my Yamaha electric bass on this outburst! and grinding the Fender Silver Bullet strings on Fender Strat, (couple of those on the cover art... ney I got more solid ones, but soft picks gave nice feel to jamn').  Played by me on Fender Start and Yamaha Electric bass. Used Line 6 Pod XT and B-52 LS-100 Head and 4x12 B-52 cab.

Yearly ADAM Pro Audio FEST. 30 sec was a requirement and I love the idea to express your self in half a minute shot. Always great to review your prod growth and pay attention on imaging, distinction of the sound. Great way to sweep dust your studio monitors and make car system to sneeze :D 

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 Droplet Groove

Warning! This is one shot, pure improv recording with Fender Strat and Yamaha bass. 4 min lo0Oong guitar no0oOdle comes in "as-is" conditions, no "missed note" quibbling will be accepted, and "no returns" policy on the reflective thoughts it might induce ;) Now we done with fine-print .... I wish to grab a beer and sit in a far corner of your studio, close to the biggest speaker. See and hear your music in making. Here is mine.

Some good dudes and dudessess decode my music nickname PROck, as PROgressive Rock. To justify this I recovered this casual  Fender session. I know, it is only 4 minutes, not 20(?).  I try to find verse-chorus structure here - I wasn't able too. So falls under Prog and Art Rock to my understanding. Not sure if ELP, PF, Zappa or any 70's genre monsters would approve it .... but hey, that's what Prog is Progressive about, right? By no means attaching myself to the gurus. Full respect to Prog Rock and Art Rock branch, with Supertramp and 10CC. I have become "Comfortably Numb" with "The Things We Do For Love" ... "I'm Not In Love no, no" .... just "Art For Arts Sake" ... it's all "Logic Songs" for me, if you know what I mean ;)

So I exhumed this Logic Pro project from my Macbook, done years ago. Mixed solo, strum, and one more verby Fender lines with Yamaha bassline. Only changed the drums. I missed my real drum set that got lost in the turns of life (darn cheap, but way cool DDrum) Replicate its raw, harsh, solid & lively sound as I remember playing it. 

Other than that, I did not fix anything ... Wait I covered up one part! I got too much into the improv, moving around, dropped the glass of wine off the studio table, hitting it with the neck of my Strat :) It flew nicely!!! leaving red wine stains on carpet. Broken glass sound in the mix is fake, cus recorded guitar with interface. This is what you hear :D

Anything more precious than jammin on you fav instrument? Power button ON, Lights Off ... Opened for collab. If it inspires you grab the WAV stems right here:

Lights Off

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

Quickest track I ever made ... public :) Just an improv with my favorite tools - Artiria ARP 2600, MiniMoog. Ableton Live 9 with on-board 808. Sound recorded in Audacity (for video). Video from iPhone 6S off PC screen (curved).

Have fun and inspiration in what you play!

TGIF! Quick Ableton improv with MiniMoog and ARP2600 (YT link)

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.
