Mensa | en

There are at least two acts with this name.

i) Mensa project was born on the spring 2006 when I was studying in Sweden. the project started to have a concrete form after a few months working with the software. The plan was to develop a personal perspective about sound experimentation. The project was conceived with the aim to be showed outdoors.

All the sounds that I process are thinked to be listened outside, in public spaces or natural environments. The whole concept of Mensa project goes around the idea of stimulate a dialogue between sound experimentation with high-tech possibilities and the natural environment, the landscape and the countryside. I found as well interesting to remark that a big percentage of the tracks that I have been recording are produced in casual places. On trips, on the train, in a library, up in the top of a hill or waiting for the bus. I think it’s really interesting to find other places where to bring your laptop an experiment with different environments to see what can happen.

The process of production of the tracks goes around the idea of something that it’s flowing. I start to work in a concrete drone or pad and it can develop in something or not. Nothing it’s really planed in the process of production so improvisation plays a really important role on the process.

ii) An alias of the jungle act Spectrum. Has made one release on the label Tearin Vinyl in 1994. .
