I love Electronics, so play and mix with all kinds of synths in my reach. I treasure that knob-twist-to-sound-vibe alchemy, as much as a looks of well designed synth model. As much as a touch of a leather skin of my guitar amp and 4x12 cab, making alive Fender Strat strings. Good electronic sound with a juicy guitar hook, groovy drums, rich bassline, catchy and melodic tune, with the lyrics, making you think, - is just all I'm looking for in a good song :) I'm biggest Depeche Mode fan there is

"It is something between discovering and witnessing" - Robert Moog

Remixing and production is my other passion. Same as in archaeology conundrum - you have to destroy the subject of your research to thoroughly study it. In music you can create something new. I love natural sounds and instruments as much, like piano jamming on Classical. Playing a New Age style on Córdoba nylon string, to be more precise Nuovo Flamenco style as Ottmar Liebert invented it, is my guitar meditation routine

While PROCK is my made-up musical identity, I'm software professional (PM me if want to connect professionally). I do C++ programming for Electronics designers. This feed my family budget. As a tech geek, I'm also into apps, DAWs, VSTs, sound processing and all sorts of synths and guitar modeling created by human or gods. Consider myself as music and synth historian :D
