Akita Mata is a "Cuba-Holland-Switzerland collective". The collective work is produced under the name Akita Mata, a Papiamentu phrase meaning roughly, "here will kill"; a Caribbean memento mori. The work is marked by extreme eclecticism but has strong roots in ambient and artmusic such as the collaborative efforts of Fripp and Eno, Moebius and Roedelius, the work of "loners" such as John Bender, and the darker strains of Throbbing Gristle and Coil,Fred Frith, Bob Ostertag and the Residents.CDs are designed and pressed in Switzerland by Carbon317 in Vevey, on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Always changing and never predictable, the style of the music ranges through ambient,glitch,dance,electronic, and traditional musical forms. The collective has been in secretive existence since 1990. Akita Mata has only perfomed live once, but that ,say the members "was an aberration." Read more on Last.fm.
