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.

Climate Change Ripples ~ Open Collab PLAYLIST Invite ~ Please Read

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:

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)

Grab few or all stems and have fun! Add, guitar, synths or vocals. Any genre welcome. Post on you acct and give a link to this stems pack, so other can join too :)

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)

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)

I played the track this summer, riding trains between Roma, Napoli, and Pompeii. The cover is the photo of Vesuvius eruption victim from Pompeii. I cannot describe the feeling we got spending a hot day in the ancient ruins. I found this session in my Gadget Prockjets on phone. I guess the track translates the feeling better.

Echo My (Pompeii Rumble)

.... 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

... and one favorite from Prock-Rock "weirdos" collection of bumpy electronic and trippy guitar. Little hypnosis, kinda psychedelic and alienated to cut thru realities of our 2.0 life (the one with mortgages and politicians). Moog Subsequent 37, Arturia, Ableton and Fender Stratocaster. Artwork is made with iPhone app called Pixelmator.
