The Music of Keith Richie
A Texas-native composer and producer, Keith Richie weaves musical tales with a blend of electronica, symphonica, and progressive ambient sounds. Influenced by luminaries such as John Williams, John Carpenter, and Vangelis, Keith's unique signature sound draws listeners into atmospheric realms of space, otherworldliness, and cinematic storytelling. His ambient electronic albums, often thematically soundtrack-esque, echo futuristic concepts of space exploration, time travel, and more. With a staunch belief in offering music in all formats, Keith's releases span vinyl to streaming under his music label, Other Worlds Than These. Dive into the multifaceted worlds Keith builds in his music, side projects, and during his "Monday Musings with Maestoso" live series.
