Music
One of the contributions that Patrick made to cyberpunk.live (other than being the butt of endless hair jokes) was the music that was played both during the opening and closing sequences as well as during some of the graphical bridge segments. While some "canned" music was used during the show, cyberpunk.live was notable for having its own original songs. Through his association with local Ottawa musicians (most notably those in dyssia, the band of which he was a member), Patrick was able to obtain recordings of original compositions that became a recognizable component of the cyberpunk.live "brand".

Season One - 1994-1995
For the first season, audio recording services were provided by Lonesome Studios Productions.
COMPOSITION | ARTIST | NOTES |
cyberpunk.live Theme | The Dawg Warriorz | The Dawg Warriorz were none other than Patrick and his then-roommate, Kevin Hopkins, who was playing with Ottawa punk stalwarts Black Triangle at the time. |
Jade | dyssia | Bass player Petar Lazic had to endure nearly fifteen minutes of what felt like an endless solo to provide a sufficent length of recording for graphical bridge segments. |
Season Two - 1995-1996
For the second season, several of the pieces were re-recorded as audio recording services were provided by Sound Of One Hand Studio (now Liverpool Court Studios).
COMPOSITION | ARTIST | NOTES |
cyberpunk.live Theme | The Inflatable Jesus Love Dolls | After Black Triangle dissolved, Kevin Hopkins joined The Inflatable Jesus Love Dolls who kindly re-recorded the show's theme music. |
