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.

“The war was won on both sides: by the Vietnamese on the ground, by the Americans in the electronic mental space. And if the one side won an ideological and political victory, the other made Apocalypse Now and that has gone right around the world.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Our species successfully raised children for tens of thousands of years before the first person wrote down the word “psychology.” The fundamental skills needed to be a parent are within us. All we’re really doing is fine-tuning a process that’s already remarkably successful.”
