As Le Fantom Onde, producer and agent Leo Mendez explores the possibilities of modular synthesis through a wide techno, industrial and dark wave spectrum, along a strong visual component. His 2018 releases condense the years that Mendez, co-founder of HolaWave store/platform, has dedicated to studying and exploring modular synthesis, a fascination that has led him to share his knowledge in institutions such as SAE Institute and MUTEK MX’s Digi Lab, as well as a ten day residence in the iconic Elektronmusikstudion EMS in Stockholm. In the spring of this year he released the single “Tepactli”, accompanied by a clip with 3D visuals created by himself, as the first preview of his next EP, which we will listen in full in its live A/V version this Edition 16. Regarding his side as modular synth promoter, Leo along with the HolaWave crew is currently preparing the second edition of the Mexsynthco synthesis convention for January 2020.
