Since I heard Hang Massive work for the first time, I got obsessed with the need to hear Hang Drum sound. Now I enjoy playing it too, software of course. In particular Soniccouture as Native Instruments or Ableton Live device. 

Made this track last year, riding my bike along the picturesque hills surrounding Silicon Valley. The grass, burned to Gold for the most time of the year, looks (and smells) great. Giving California its Golden State name.

Ableton Live 11, Arturia MiniMoog, Soniccouture Pan Drum, Omnisphere, UAD Oxide Tape, IK One, FabFilters.

Happy Summer Everyone!

“Uplifting Chillout” - Prock 2.0 style. The main guitar-synth tune is played by hands on 4x4 Maschine+ pads in a scale mode, very handy :) Also Ableton Live 11, Arturia, IK One, UAD Oxide Tape, Teletronix LA-2A, FabFilters.

My mancave on the cover. Its also featured in the new The Midlife Synthesist synth jam! Get a listen to his YT channel and get hooked to David Attenborough like talks on music tech and anything of important in life:

Ultramarine is mostly made on Maschine+, which is no longer here (but missed device very much, collecting dukats :) (AND NOW '21 it is back home! :). It’s cool but I need more knobs, sliders and LED pads as you can see :) And my music piggy bank was not fat enough, so needed to fund the ultimate to my taste Arturia Polybrute. Roland Versevab DAW-lessy drives beloved Moog Subsequent 37CV and new Polybrute. Prock Studio is finally complete … for now. Can't deny, music technology either soft/hardware is a good inspiration driver and helps to express what plays in your head. Get inspired with any unique music style or instruments you play! TNX!

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

All Lyric's  Vocal's & Instrument's
By Martin Reed

Composed Arranged & Produced
By Martin Reed

Spaceship's & Crater's

I am still feel very proud of the string-quartet arrangement of „Throw back the little ones“, which I published around one year ago. I got very positive feedbacks and even in the circles of Steely Dan-aficionados the arrangement and the exceptional vocals of Jimmy Rivas were received with friendliness (and believe me Steely Dan fans are very critical). So I felt very motivated to continue.
So after one year I can present another string-quartet arrangement of a Steely Dan-song. I have chosen „Fire in the hole“. The song is one of my favourites of their first album „Can’t buy a thrill“ from 1972. It’s driven by the piano. As usual there are many chords, melodically rich interludes, everything is crafted to total perfection.

I arranged the song in the notation-software „Sibelius“. Then I set up the Cello with VSL „Solo strings“, at last I recorded the two violins and the viola live.
I have to thank Jimmy Rivas again for joining this project and his great vocals.

James Rivas: Vocals (@j-rivas)
Dirk Radloff: Violin, Viola, Cello-programming, production.

Instruments used: Violin „Anton Piegendorfer“ built 1902, unfortunately I could not borrow the viola of my sister, so I had to borrow a viola from AaKe violinmakers Bad Homburg (http://www.rhein-main-geigenbau.de/aake/contente.htm); VSL Violoncello from „Solo strings"

Recording notes: I have recorded the three upper string-instruments with three different microphones:
First Violin: Beyerdynamic M88TG
Second violin: Electro Voice N/D967
Viola: AKG C-1000S

The meaning of Steely Dan’s lyrics are mostly dark and ambiguous and „Fire in the hole“ is a perfect example. I read many interpretations and one, that convinces me is to imagine here a man, who fought in the Vietnam war. He has lost some years of life, has to get a low-class job („A woman’s voice reminds me to serve and not to speak“) as a waiter, but he still has to fight against the flashbacks of the horrific experiences („With a cough I shake it off“). 

Fire In The Hole

I decline
To walk the line
They tell me that I'm lazy
Worldly wise
I realize
That everybody's crazy
A woman's voice reminds me
To serve and not to speak
Am I myself or just another freak

Don't you know
There's fire in the hole
And nothing left to burn
I'd like to run out now
There's nowhere left to turn

With a cough
I shake it off
And work around my yellow stripe
Should I hide
And eat my pride
Or wait until it's good and ripe
My life is boiling over
It's happened once before
I wish someone would open up the door

Don't you know
There's fire in the hole
And nothing left to burn
I'd like to run out now
There's nowhere left to turn

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:

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

Introducing new genre #FUNTRONICA!  Why not?!?  Click on the genre tag and see what happens ;) Join the movement tagging your work ~ fast/slow ~ electronic/acoustic ~ any style ~ as long as it's fun! 

Direct upload from Korg Gadget mobile app on iPad. Consists of 32 drum and synth gadgets. Played on iPad surface and Arturia Beatspet Pro controller. It was FUN! 

I remembered quite a few requests to finish this PROCK-gramming classic.  Now full TWO minutes and served at 140Bmp :)

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 :)

Sam Prock - Out Of Blue (Open Collab Invite)

Special here ~ everything is played by fingers on the iPad surface. Native Instruments app, called iMaschine 2, is limited to 4 tracks with 4 patterns over the whole song. Same time it is truly inviting environment for the Beatmaking and doing More-With-Less.

I already played electric bass and Fender Strat, mixing it in. While wanted to post bare-naked iPad version as-is, before I overproduced it in Ableton Live or spooked the charm of "4-track" classic setup :)  

Best inspiration with what you're playing today guys!
