Alpha Quadrant is Frank W. from Siegen / Germany who was formerly a member of the dark electro / industrial act called "Split Effect". But some time in 2001 the band split up (very realistic bandname you will notice *g*). So in 2001-2002 Frank decided to continue with some more dark electronic tunes under the name "Alpha Quadrant" short "AQ".
The result is a mixture from several styles, perhap named as darkelectro, goatrance, psytrance,wave,techno and ambient. Also Split Effect + AQ were one of the main founders around the year 2000 of the "hELLTRANCE" genre.
!! Please NOTE the newer titles have better mastering and quality than these on Soundclick (mostly only previews on this site) Also of course these low quality MP3 don´t match the AUDIO CD !!

Why this name?
Because it sounds cool! Some way of futuristic like most of my music....and i like Science Fiction stuff :p
Do you play live?
No. I first need 1 or 2 other members for live gigs.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Music from all over the world can be heard everywhere in the world, also in countries that haven´t good infrastructure for selling CDs now the fans can hear their fave music over the net !
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, but only for promotional or distribution purposes of my CD coming out in 2007. Not to follow any trends set by record companies !
Your influences?
EBM, electro, darkwave, ambient, science fiction and horror films, industrial, goatrance, psychedelic, techno, chill, pop.....
Favorite spot?
I only visitied diverse countries and cities in Europe. I think all countries have very nice places.
Equipment used:
2 synth´s, a Boss SE50 effect, a 12 channel analogue mixing console, a DBX and Behringer compressor and some software,too. I use a Celeron 1400 PC with Logic Audio 5 and the EXS sampler....
Since around 2004 i use more software especially some freeware stuff and of course all the nice Logic onboard effects and synth´s ! But i still have "real synthies" (CS2x,AN1x,NL2 rack) in my studio...
