About music4yourTrip :: Real-time improvised electronic music

music4yourTrip unites the power of improvisation with the vast sound palette available to the modern electronic musician. The players on each session vary, as do the rigs they use. The result, however, is always fascinating to hear, now beautiful, now thrashing, now danceable.

   Prancing In the Streets

   This is our second jam from early August, 2026. Acoustic drums are back again for this one, a big change after years of Maschine. This time they're running through an in-the-box effects rig controlled live with MIDI Designer, letting Dan reshape the acoustic kit on the fly as part of the improvisation (somewhat, it's early days still). This trip moves at a slightly quicker pace. In the 55 minutes of the set, we follow whatever appears: a groove that catches, a texture that opens up, an idea that takes a while to become something, or one that simply disappears. The music gets spacious and strange, settles into funk, rocks out, loses the plot and finds another one. Every turn happens in the moment, and we're sharing the whole trip with you. Featuring: • Minio Class: keyboards • Dan Rosenstark: drums • Mike Rosenstark: guitar Gear: • MIDI Designer Pro X • ASM Leviasynth • Dave Smith Instruments Prophet Rev2 • Sequential Take 5 • Neural DSP Quad Cortex • Fractal Audio Axe-Fx III • Fractal Audio VP4 Virtual Pedalboard ×4 • Fractal Audio AM4 Amp Modeler • Boomerang III Phrase Sampler • Gig Performer with additional software instruments and effects

   Frolicking in the Meadow

   music4YourTrip returns to acoustic drums for this trio session (8/7/2026). This is our first long-form improvisation with an acoustic kit in years, with Dan back behind the drums. The drums themselves are processed live through a Fractal Audio VP4, bringing the physical energy and dynamics of an acoustic kit into the electronic landscape of music4YourTrip. As with every music4YourTrip session, we begin with no destination. Every note is improvised, and the music discovers its own shape in real time. It might drift into ambient territory, lock into a deep funk groove, or suddenly decide to rock. Some passages wander before finding their footing. Some ideas never quite land. Others unexpectedly bloom into something neither expected nor repeatable. We're happy to share that journey with you. Featuring: • Minio Class: keyboards • Mike Rosenstark: guitar • Dan Rosenstark: drums through Fractal Audio VP4 Gear: • Fractal Audio VP4 Virtual Pedalboard • ASM Leviasynth • Dave Smith Instruments Prophet Rev2 • Sequential Take 5 • Neural DSP Quad Cortex • Fractal Audio Axe-Fx III • Fractal Audio VP4 Virtual Pedalboard ×4 • Fractal Audio AM4 Amp Modeler • Boomerang III Phrase Sampler • Gig Performer with additional software instruments and effects
