Keith was a dear friend firstly. He was a generous, wonderful person and, of couse, a genius, a true artist.
We all owe so much to him for we started our label with his critically acclaimed piano solo “Mujician IV - Live in Piacenza”, way back in 2015. We welcome this album as a real blessing for the soul. So long dear Keith: your music shall live forever.

Music for Labyrinths is an open live project for a soundtracks of labyrinths around the world and inside us. A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness: it combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path.
The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world.
Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools. A labyrinth is an archetype with which we can have a direct experience,It is a metaphor for life’s journey.
It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our egos to That Which Is Within.
With a labyrinth there is only one choice to be made: the choice is to enter or not.
