BackStory with the American History Guys is a nationally syndicated, hour-long, weekly public radio show. We're based in Charlottesville, Virginia at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities.

Each week we take a topic that people are talking about and explore its roots in American history. Through stories, interviews, and conversation with our listeners, we turn the things Americans take for granted inside out. And while we're at it, we have a lot of fun. Join us.

ACTUUM is distopia.

A chaotic soundscape loosely organized by unstable laws, we exist in a permanent climate of insecurity.
Fierce attacks/blitzkrieg govern our sound-politico structures, where sonic alliances soon disintegrate into betrayal but reverse once again.
With this, our music commands a heightened state of action/reaction, compelling listeners towards a rare sense of purpose, direction, and feeling.

Winner of the 2012 Jazz Migration competition by AFIJMA !
 Actuum won the " Keep an Eye Jazz awards" in Amsterdam (best band, best composition).
