Synthetic Cello, French Horn and DSK Ethereal Padz 2.  Removed certain samples for a cleaner symphonic listening.  Used previous version of Renoise 2.8.1

A Sadist's Dirge of Discipline (Clean - No Samples)

Haven't put anything out in quite a few months - I have 6 other tracks that are just haunting the hell out of me and I had this one lost under another filename.  Something to cleanse the palette.  Starting more serious work.  Using Renoise v3.0.

Noise Noise Noise

Combination of glitch, heavy synth drone and piano for backup.  Had fun using Oatmeal to rev up the synth ;)
Issues with volume during mastering process, synth is a little over powering.

Cracking Codex

Been on a 80's and 90's cyberpunk kick lately, first track I've put out in four years; wanted to put something out, but its not a master track, so there's no post-pro on this one. Just something to listen to. ♥

Cyberjunkie Ultra

Guillotines Against their Atrocities

Simplistic - some Cello Spicatto and a prefab Beatslaughter sample 110 bpm break, total track sped up to 115 bpm.  

Symphonic Trips (unmastered)

Working in a place that was cold beyond reason and barely survivable unless properly equipped; it lends a particular mindset to how you interact other people and your surroundings. If the extreme cold didn't kill you; the things wandering around on the ice at night probably would.

That place and those 'things' helped shape this melody.

Final Cut using Renoise 2.8.1

I titled this as a "what if" kind of soundtrack in my head, of a time when I read books by the authors William Gibson, Bruce Sterling and Orson Scott Card.  The thoughts of cerebral implants - hacking, literally with your mind; conjured up imagery of surfing the breaks and waves of information under a skyline of liquid silver.

Burning Chrome Under a Sterling Sunset (Jacitm Final)

Wanted to upload a track to let people know I am STILL alive and well. I began using Reason 11 Suite and had to replace/upgrade instruments and hardware along the way. Figured I'd kick back to an easier classic rock piece and demo it out. 

3 guitars, using plucks for beat, ambient fx for background and distortion with modulators for the melody. Playing off  influences in Waters, Barrett and Gilmore; where a paced Surfer vibe meets a Nomad lost in a Desert.

House of the Rising Sun (Rough Cover)

Track I released back in May for the Homeostasis Album by CRL Studios to help with Fundraising for Covid Relief Organizations through the World Health Organization. 

None of the Artists on the Album profited from the donations/downloads. The album is now Free BUT I still urge people to throw something down for the tracks you do like, so that money can go to helping with virus Research et al.

CRL Studios Presents: Homeostasis

Samyaza and Pravuil

A demo track I was working on. Not sure if I want to use it as background music for a game or flesh it out into a fuller audio track.

Yule Sea Ghosts

Since 1996 JACITM as Just Another Cog in the Machine/JAC in the Machine has been my writing & side project moniker.

I started my dabble in home DAW production back in 2012 at the behest of another Industrial/EDM production friend when he told me about ReNoise.

All tracks prior from 2012 to 2014 were created using Renoise v2.6 through v2.8.1 From 4/2014 to 3/2019, I've used ReNoise v3.0 and ReNoise Redux. Started using Reason 11 in 2020, then Ableton 11 and Reason 13 in 2024.

2012 to Present: I'd like to thank the Users from the Renoise Forums. I'm sad to see it go silent after so many years of contribution but a heavy lot of you have contributed greatly to my continued interest in music with your shares, your input, your samples/glitches and modified UI's. I'll be forever grateful to all of you, Programmers, Aficionados and Musicians alike.  The people there were among a small handful of the best forum communities I've ever come across in the past 25 years and to me, that says a lot about the people that helped create it.
