Sade Sade
'progressive,psychedellic tech-trance' Not excactly Helltrance but it has some elements from it. Synths were: CS2x Yamaha + Quasimidi Quasar in 2000. Demo of early stuff for free download for you.

Stonecold (slo-mo guitar version) Stonecold (slo-mo guitar version)
Slow version of this song with some guitar added. Listen to more technoish and 'dancey' version to come on CD and Myspace. This version is not a official AQ song, but one that was made for fun and is a free download for you.

Civil War Civil War
Mixture from Techno, Synthpop and Electro... NOTE: Preview version with not so good mastering, like on CD (´07) !!

Frozen Souls Frozen Souls
Quite new mix from an older Split Effect tune. Dark and futuristic with influences from Darkelectro and Ambient....Listen to NEW MASTERED version on album (´07) or later @ Myspace !!

My Silence My Silence
This time quite dark but not very agressive,has a little ambient and chill moment in it, too. Some words from me and Kerstin,thanx to her. NOTE: Preview version - better quality on CD (´07) !
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 dont match the AUDIO CD !!
Have you performed in front of an audience?
EBM, electro, darkwave, ambient, science fiction and horror films, industrial, goatrance, psychedelic, techno, chill, pop.....
2 synths, 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 synths ! But i still have "real synthies" (CS2x,AN1x,NL2 rack) in my studio...
