Phondupe is sonic talisman Rich Lucano — a multi-dimensional electronic artist who occupies the liminal space between ambient, experimental, and electronica
Phondupe’s sonic world is often referred to as cinematic, known for his layered soundscapes and hypnotic pacing, while drawing from sources as disparate as Calabrian folk music and post-rock.
Following the acclaimed TORSO (2024)—a visceral album of meditative piano works—Phondupe returns in 2025 with Air Conditioning Vol. 2, a collection of long-form ambient compositions that builds on the popularity of its predecessors on streaming platforms.
Live, Phondupe's performances fuse pulsing analog rhythms, delicate motifs and unbridled heart—somewhere between Nicolas Jaar, Lucio Battisti and Nils Frahm. Performing with a dynamic hybrid of analog hardware and live vocals, Lucano creates evolving, transportive sets.
In 2025 Lucano debuted his latest live show supporting electronic legends Tangerine Dream at City Recital Hall Sydney for Vivid Music, accompanied by bespoke A/V production from visual collaborators Babekühl.
Phondupe’s journey has taken him from the Sydney Opera House to Dimensions Festival in Croatia, supporting artists like Tangerine Dream, Jon Hopkins, Kiasmos, and Maribou State, and premiering a 360-degree installation of his ambient piece “AMA” at Vivid Sydney 2023.
