Almost everything you hear is original sounds created from scratch with an analogue synth called Clavia Nord Modular. The few remaining sounds origin from Roland JV1080 or mac-speech (voices). Processed with Cubase&#39;s virtual effects and recording studio.</font></p><p style="margin: 5pt 0in" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">While recording music a lot of different themes and sounds surface. On this album most songs are based on funky break beats or syncopated back beats. Though three of the songs are based on a straight kick (also see &#39;Cosmic Embryo Electronica&#39; album).</font></p><p style="margin: 5pt 0in" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">By being a multi talented musician in combination with deep understanding of audio electronics it was perhaps only a question of time until something very personal and advanced would surface from this artist.</font></p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'">With the XEN BREAKS album you will sense the actual time embedded in the tracks. Qubenzis intend to expand perception by enhancing the sensory spectrum with electronic sounds. To which degree this is possible only the listener can tell </span>
