Art Sonic: Acoustic guitar folktronica with elements of ambient atmospheric americana.


Art Sonic is a brainchild of music creator Richard Lisaj, from Toronto, Canada. It can be best described as acoustic guitar folktronica with elements of ambient atmospheric Americana.

Richard creates a colorful atmospheric blend that is as equally well suited for cinematic use as for headphone indulgence. In Art Sonic, he blends in sounds of nature that he captured on a 3-week long road trip to the American Southwest.

Richard has also released music as Dubtrak and Intersonic Subformation.

Under the Dubtrak moniker he has been delivering a unique blend of dub, global beats and psy-trance-electronica since 2008 and released two full-length albums of original material, collaborated with a sitar player Ragaboy, remixed tracks by Dubmatix, Citizen Sound, Pacifika, Baj Tajpan, Delhi 2 Dublin and Matisyahu. Dubtrak's music has been compared to The Orb, Underworld and Banco de Gaia.

As Intersonic Subformation, Richard is explorating dreamy soundscapes that offer expensive views of Cosmic Vistas rewarding the listener with raw, awe-inspiring, emotions. Attention to details, lush sound design and pristine production place these compositions somewhere in the netherworld between dark and melodic ambience, with a healthy dose of pure electronic space music.
