Toledo Don't Swing

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

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!

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.

Why Wait?!

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

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:

Alienation (Dust Uprising)

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).
