"Richard Lainhart is a composer, filmmaker, and author - a digital artisan who works with sonic, visual, and textual data. Since childhood, he's been interested in natural processes such as waves, flames and clouds, in harmonics and harmony, and in creative interactions with machines, using them as compositional methods to present sounds and images that are as beautiful as he can make them.

Examples of his music and digital artworks may be found at O-Town Media website and his short films are available at vimeo."

"Sensitive dub è il primo nome che ho usato quando ho cominciato ad occuparmi di musica,
l ho tenuto nel progetto SBL.
Nella vita mi occupo arti visive, amo gli elementi non creati dall'uomo e le catastrofi naturali.
Da qualche tempo oltre il progetto SBL, ho cominciato un altra ricerca sonora,legata ai miei lavori visivi
chiamata "Progetto Abitare", una specie di diario dove raccolgo registrazioni dagli ambienti in cui sto, e i miei stati d animo del momento."

Through different projects, Sensitive Dub, is mainly concerned with art activities but, nonetheless, take also the time to live in Cagliari.
