Welcome!

Hey there, my name is Jake. I'm a musician and videographer from the midwest, USA.

I'm currently working on a Bachelor's in Information Technology and working full time as a vulnerability management engineer.

This is my personal site. I built this hoping to break away from Social Media. I wanted to create a place for people who know me to keep up with my life, & where I can meet new people and experience a little piece of what the internet was like before all of the monetization.

Life at the moment

I currently work in Cyber Security full time while attending an accelerated Bachelor's -> Master's program for IT Management.

Outside of that, I make music videos with NINE2NVR, a small production company created by my friends Dylan, Jacob, and myself. I have been trying to branch out and learn more videography on my own as well, and I just purchased a Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k.

My other main hobby is music. I am a DJ and producer and I love to write songs. I don't put much out there, but you can check out some of my stuff on my Music page.

Opinions

(coming soon)

Here I will post rants and opinions on things that I feel strongly about.

Videos

Here are some music videos that I recently worked on. You can also view these (embedded) on my Videos page.

• WANGLET - Past Due (Live Performance)
  This is the first video I filmed on my new camera. Some things went wrong with the settings but overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
• Gio Franklin - Still Here
  I did the rough cut of this video, meaning I edited it minus the color correction, titles, and some touch up.
• 301k - Moon Glow ft. Taber & Burgess
  I helped out behind the scenes for this one, filming some BTS footage and making sure that everyone had what they needed.
• Blaneoh - 93 'Til Infinity Freestyle
  I recorded and edited the audio for this video.
• AR!ON - BEMYFR!END
  I acted (as the mechanic) and assistant edited this video.
• Gio Franklin - In-Between
  General behind-the-scenes assistance
• Zadkiel - Love Language
  I shot BTS footage and acted as Unit Production Manager
• LLoyd Houston - Old Skool Goku
  I was in this video as the driver of the truck, and I also recorded/mixed the song.

Music

My music taste is all over the place, but as a general rule of thumb, I love anything ethereal. Songs that light up my imagination or transport me to a different world. I mostly listen to Alternative, Rock, Rap, and EDM

My favorite song of all time is Show Me How by Men I Trust.

I also write and play music under the name Cigaratt, though that name is subject to change soon. I'm on the fence about whether to continue releasing under that name or change to jmasch.

My favorite songs and playlists:

• red eyes and orange skies: a spotify playlist of ethereal & groovy tracks
• genreless recommendations, spotify playlist, some of my recommendations, no particular genre
• ECCO2K - 1:1, one of my all time favorites. always inspired by DG production.
• Yung Lean - Yoshi City, the sound of my teenage years
• Yung Lean - Kyoto, i still remember seeing this video for the first time
• Lola Young - Stream of Consciousness, just found this, i cried tbh
• Don Toliver - Let Her Go, honestly guys i levitated when i heard this
• Yeat - No morë talk, one of the most creative beat intros that i've heard
• Skrillex - Don't Get Too Close, absolutely beautiful and tear inducing
• Shitty Boyz - Slam Dunk Contestants, i have a lot of love for detroit rap
• ARION444 - 2ND NATURE, one of my favorite songs made by my buddy
