Alpha Quadrant | en

AQ is Frank W. from Germany / Southern Westphalia. His first electronic music project was called "Split Effect", most known songs "Controlcenter" and "What Happened?". This band existed only 2 years - the other member was Holger B. Frank founded Alpha Quadrant as a new solo project around 2005. He has now quite good experience in electronic music creation.

Most of his stuff is a mixture from the genres dark-electronic, original helltrance, ambient,industrial but also with psychedelic and techno roots. Frank does it just for fun with no commercial intension.

The Helltrance genre was invented by the artists "Malfunct" and "Alpha Quadrant" around 2005. Note: This is different to Hellectro, it has more Techno and Psytrance roots and usually no vocals and no high pitched rave sounds.

Update 2012: This band wasn´t active quite a long time, but still exists. Some new tracks can be heard in May 2012.....so stay tuned.
