About Me

science

äkktive cärbön is the resonance of a human heart and mind in response to Life. it's funny. it's sad. without saying too much, it's like Life itself. and death.
äkktive cärbön is not for the faint hearted, but it's for the faint hearted too.
äkktive cärbön is a sinister quirk of many styles (electronica, IDM, pop, breakbeat, experimental, soundtrackism to name but the main). for simplicity's sake we take it as progressive electronica.
äkktive cärbön is out there since, what, September 1997? only the name and almost everything about it changed since.
äkktive cärbön has been essentially dead between 2003 and 2005, but who cares?
äkktive cärbön is the brainchild of (and not merely 'is') György Straub. this didn't change a jot. (György Straub is the one having constant trouble cathegorising the songs. be a little nice and help him out!)
äkktive cärbön can be expanded in many ways, and Life bloody well expands it every single minute. that's all the better as äkktive cärbön doesn't like just sitting around and can never have enough of interaction. remixes (both ways), soundtracks, or whatever, give a shout!
äkktive cärbön is against the extensive use of fossil fuel.
and hell, "äkktive cärbön" is how the name is written properly.
too much äkktive cärbön can be good for your health and that of others around you.
the one(s - you can never know) behind äkktive cärbön are happy to answer any question you might ask. he/they will eventually get in touch with you anyway.
