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.

“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
