The Electronic Years
Disassociating himself from the concept of "band", Mendonça re-located to North London and began promoting experimental techno parties with two close friends. It was during this time that he was befriended by Grant Wilson-Claridge of Rephlex Records. Wilson-Claridge gave Mendonça access to his impressive studio. This afforded Mendonca the opportunity to experiment with sampling and sequencing technologies. As his audio engineering skills developed he became fascinated by the science of psychoacoustics and began creating sounds through experimentation. Shunning pre-set sounds and settings from synthesisers, his objective was to make sounds that had never been heard before.

Famous quotes containing the words electronic and/or years:
“The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“A young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end that is aimed at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference whether he is young in years or youthful in character.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
